I bought this product based on the raving reviews that it received on here. The product looked sturdy based on the images here as well. The finish is that of soft leather or should I say leather-look-alike. After just two months of usage, the clip is tearing off and the thread used for sewing is being removed. I only use the product 5 days a week and there's not much to mishandling except for, strap on in the morning, strap off at evenings when I get home from work. Surely, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless I received the wrong casing as described by other reviewers. To me, disappointingly, I've got to give this my first two star rating.
