Covering is rubbery and the brown side has a patch of it missing after a few weeks of wear.  The rubbery texture makes it difficult to attach a cell phone case.  The brown side looked wrinkled after the first week and it tore the outer coating,leaving a small patch where it is no longer brown.

Update:

The brown side continues to deteriorate and the edge is now looking hairy.  I've had this belt about six months now and it looks horrible.

Final update:

I've included an image (green background at the top of the page).  Also note that the belt was not abused.
