I used to get the leather horizontal cases but I had to keep replacing them as the sides kept getting caught while getting in and out of the car. This case is a sturdy web material with a multi level Velcro closure and a strong metal clip for either through a belt or over belt/pants waist. I found my MyTouch 4G phone was a little smaller than this case so I cut some of the foam material that was in it to hold the shape and put it in the bottom to lift the phone up a bit and it was perfect. My stylus went easily into the holder on the side of the case, a first for me to have a spot for one.
