Noreve iPod Touch 2G pouch review

Review of the Noreve steel belt clip

Style: 10

As a pouch, there isn’t much more you can expect. The Noreve design protects against outside harm and the style is classy.

Protection: 10

There are hardly any openings in the leather and because of that I think this Noreve pouch has succeeded in what it has set out to do: protect the iPhone to its fullest abilities. The fantastic suede leather and padding protects from scratches and harm and is hard enough that it really will protect the device.

Functionality: 7

There is nothing about this pouch that communicates functionality. You’ll be able to recharge your phone, and that’s about it. But the point is to protect, not function, so keep that in mind.

Overall: 8.5

I do like this case, but I have a hard time with my inability to access basic functions of the iPhone. I’m glad the case offers protection, but I’d like a little more. That said, this pouch is high quality and Noreve’s luxury leather suggests sophistication beyond most competitors.

Style: 8

The design and style of this case is nice, but not necessarily outstanding by any means. In terms of customer satisfaction with the style, it may only fulfill a certain demographic’s interest in terms of the bulky Krusell logo, the multidapt belt clip, and the styling of the stitching. Everything is crafted well, just may not be what everyone is looking for.

Protection: 6.5

I’m very unimpressed with the lack of protection Krusell has offered for the BlackBerry. Though the parts of the device which are covered are protected by durable leather, there is a great deal of the device which is left completely exposed and vulnerable to outside harm. If protection is what you’re going for, this isn’t the case for you! That said, if your only interest in this case is to use it while on your belt clip for easy access to your BlackBerry, you shouldn’t worry too much about harm. The top portion of the device is fairly exposed on its sides, however.

Functionality: 4

I’m having a hard time actually rating the functionality of this case because it is simply a pouch rather than a case, and the BlackBerry will by no means be able to function while in the pouch. It merely acts as a holder for the device. On the “up” side, the BlackBerry is easily accessible due to the design of the case and the simple magnet which opens and closes very easily.

Overall: 6.5

With some of the other leather pouches I’ve reviewed I’ve given higher scores. Reason being, their high-quality leather, accessibility, and style/design have proven elegant and attractive for any type of customer. I would like to point out, however, that this Krusell pouch is considerably less expensive than the other pouches I’ve reviewed and is definitely competitive with other pouches in the same price range.

Style: 8

It’s nice-looking, but not perfect for every type of customer. The pouch offer security on a belt clip for day-to-day use but is not one geared toward functionality.

Protection: 8.5

This pouch is protective for the most part, but the tops and sides of the device is exposed and therefore not as protected as perhaps other competing cases. This exposure is to allow for accessibility but instead compromises its security.

Functionality: 7

Since this Fortte case is a pouch, it is not meant to allow for complete functionality. It is easily accessible in terms of removing the device from the case, as well as allowing for continual use on a belt, but is otherwise limited in its ability to function while inside the pouch.

Overall: 8

This is a fine pouch; the quality is on the higher-end with its premium full grain leather, but it doesn’t prove to be the most secure or offer any functionality. That said, it does the job of most pouches and should keep many customers satisfied.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Noreve Leather Pouch Review

Style: 10
It’s elegant and sexy and the leather is smooth and perfect. The stitching is tight, the leather is practically weightless, and there are nineteen different colors to choose from. It really doesn’t get better than that.
Protection: 9.5 (if you like pouches)
The bottom end of the Sony is slightly exposed, but the rest of the device is covered completely. There’s no way your Sony will get a scratch while in this pouch!
Functionality: 10
Because this is only a pouch which is designed strictly for protection while the device is not in use, I’ve rated this Noreve pouch based on its accessibility to all basic functions.
Overall: 10
(not an average) It’s attractive, light, durable, hand-crafted, and simple. Enough said. This is the perfect pouch with high-quality leather to provide additional protection beyond any cheaper material.
