The quality of the material is fairly okay, I'd have to agree with the other review. Do not expect it to be leather, or even an expensive leatherette material. It feels a bit plasticky and synthetic, which I'd have to admit is acceptable for the price of the item.However, what is disappointing is the fit of the phone (I have the Pearl 8120) in the case. It's 0.5 inches too loose on the sides so it feels like it will fall out anytime. It is not snug at all as shown in the photo above. To give you an idea, a Curve 8900 fits comfortably in the pouch with some room to wiggle. If not for this issue, I would have given the item 4 stars.
