Fortte Leather Pouch

[anthony81586]

I just ordered one and will give a full review upon receiving. In the meantime, does anyone have one of these? If so, how is it? I ordered the vertical pouch with the ratchet clip

I also just ordered the SGP Crumena since the fortte says it will take 3-4 weeks. So i will have a comparison for all of you

Thanks for the heads up. It's exactly what I was looking for. I ordered one too.

Awesome, please post your impressions when you get it

Just received the SGP Crumena last night. First off, this thing is very well made. The phone with the extended battery fits perfectly and snuggly.

I like the little mechanism they use to get the phone out, it's a piece of ribbon they have stitched toward the bottom of the pouch with a tab along the outside. Once the phone is in it sits on the ribbon and makes the strap taught, when you want the phone you just pull the tab which lifts the phone from the bottom of the pouch.

The phone seems very secure in there and I have no doubt that this thing can take a drop very easily. Especially with the leather stitching on the outside which would act as a bumper of sorts.

As far as any improvements toward the pouch, I cannot seem to find anything that particularly stands out, but I will say that I'm looking forward to the pouch breaking in a bit more.

If you have any questions or want specific pictures just let me know and I'll do my best to post them.

I had a Fortte vertical slim pouch for my HTC Incredible. It also has the ribbon that you pull on to lift the phone upward. That ribbon came out though the top of the pouch, different from the Cremena. I liked it. One thing that possibly some wouldn't like was that if you tip the pouch toward the ground the phone will slip right out and crash. That was the slim case and they had a ton of colors/designs. The Cremena only comes in that brown. Fortte doesn't have that one for the GN, only the more padded black ones with flaps over the top. I also had a Beyza slim vertical pouch, really nice too. They don't have any GB cases there yet. Let me know how your new Cremena case fits the phone. I'm tempted (even if it's brown). One downside to this phone is the lack of nice leather case options. Gotta get a 4S for that I guess lol.

I posted about the crumena above and it's awesome so far. It comes in black as well, not just brown. Its a really high quality pouch, I might even cancel my. Fortte order.

What's the inner material made of? No screen protector so it needs to be smooth!

I have this case as well and I'm digging it. Very well made and fits like a glove - no way the device will slip out.

It has some sort of soft material inside to protect the screen - it's not leather against the screen. Check Amazon as they have them as well with free shipping.

The inside is suede. I have the tan one and the inner suede it's a slate-grey type color. I'll try and post pics tonight

And you have no problems sliding the GN in there sans screen protector? No worries of scratching?

I have an XO screen protector on my phone, but no I'd have no problems without one. I have the extended battery too and it does in perfectly, no fear of it skipping out either

My Sena pouch is lined with what seems to be microfiber cloth, same color as the leather (red). They're probably all the same.

Just some quick pics taken from my gnex, if there are any specific ones you want let me know.

Yeah, that's cloth sewn in there. Nothing's gonna scratch the screen.

I'm still eagerly waiting for the fortte case. I can't believe it takes 3-4 weeks.
