I was looking for something to hold my Samsung SII, money, credit cards, photos, etc. so that I can just grab it and go. This certainly fits that bill but, the cross-over strap is not quite as long as I'd like (I'm 5'7"), and there's no place for additional small items. I tried putting my lipstick in the back pocket but it fell out and was lost for good. Over all, however, the quality of this wallet is great; I'm just using it with the hand strap. The snap front worries me a little bit as I'm afraid it'll eventually pull off, but so far it's holding up just fine.
