I got into the slots! The inside is the fine mesh-looking black material that the lining of some higher-end wallets is made of. I'd post a picture, but there just aren't enough hands here to hold the slot open, hold the case, snap the picture... Aha! I got into the slots!

However, I opted for the SD card pockets and they appear that they will require some breaking in to use on any kind of regular basis. The case itself is made of two layers of leather and the pockets are formed by stitching and two slits cut into the outer layer of leather.

I guess I was so happy to have a reasonable case come with the Tytn that I haven't looked at it since and just clip it to my side every day! After seeing your photo I literaly took it off my side to compare and alas - same as yours! Completely exposed. I'm about to place my order, just wish they had a clip instead of a loop. Casual belts don't always fit these loops and if they do, have a tendancy to stretch them a bit. Judie – I stand corrected.

I've heard mention of promotion codes for other Vaja products, but have not seen anything for this particular case. If you go to their website, the customization options (in terms of color and types of leather) are fantastic. Does anyone know whether there is a promotion code for the HTC horizontal pouch?

However, in looking at the case as compared to the case that came with my HTC Tytn I don't see any beneficial difference between. I realize we need a way to sneak the device out via a 'notch' cut somewhere, but the Vaja still leaves the device much exposed to the elements. I was hoping this would be something Vaja would take care of. Are there any other obvious differences that I'm missing?
