Product review: Premium Horizontal Leather Pouch Case with Belt Clip for LG 800G 800-G

I bought this leather case for LG 800G phone to protect the touch screen from accidental use while it is rattling in a purse. 
   
The case feels solid, closes well with a magnet clasp, and weights (empty) 1.9 oz. The case is hard and the screen cannot be pushed through it. The inside of the case is a soft felt-like material which protects the screen.  On the down size this is a generic case, and there are no phone specific cut-outs. For example, you cannot charge the phone while it is in the case.

The case fit the phone loosely (in one of the photos described below I am able to insert a pen next to the phone) and I decided to purchase a gel skin for a better fit. I purchased this gel skin LG Cookie Style Candy Skin Case . With the gel skin on the fit is perfect!  The phone is easy to insert and take out, yet the  phone does not fall out even if I hold the case open and upside down and give it a bit of a shake.  The weight of the phone, the gel skin, and the leather case all together is 5.5 oz.

I am attaching a video which shows the case and how the phone with the gel skin fits it. I am also attaching a collage of 6 photos.

Photo #1 ➨  Shows the back of the case, along with the packaging.  The packaging included a closed foam insert which kept the shape of the pouch. For those who do not want to buy a gel case, this foam can be cut to form foam strips and these foam strips can be glued to the case as spacers for a less loose fit.

Photo #2 ➨ Shows the front of the case. The canvas cut-out hides the magnet clasp, and is totally covered when the case is closed.

Photo #3 ➨ Shows how the phone fits the case without the gel. You can see that I can insert a pen next to phone.

Photo #4 ➨ Shows the phone in the gel skin being inserted into the case

Photo #5 ➨ Shows the fit with the gel skin on the phone - now it is a perfect fit.

Photo #6 ➨ Shows me holding the case upside down and you can see that the phone does no fall out. The gel skin creates good friction with the inside of the case.

       

I am very pleased with the case when it is used with the gel skin: good value and works well.
