I think this item is great.  It really is soft and comfortable.  Plus the two different color loops show they put alot of thought into this (i.e. matches your belt).  The only thing is that it's going to require some privacy to pull out your items.  This cost about $13 and I notice that for a little less I was able to get the Swiss Army one that has a snap that goes around your waist and it was easier to pull up.  I think however, Rick Steve's is probably more comfortable over a long day.
