I don't usually do reviews unless they are worth sharing. I was looking for a sleeve/pouch that would give some protection as well as allow me to put a couple of cards in it. I used to use the Casemate ID for my 3GS when I went to the gym but it scratched the chrome bezel on my phone so I decided I wanted something different for my iPhone 4.
I was deciding between sfbags, hard craft, and other leather pouch/sleeves. SFbags was too thin and I didn't feel it would offer enough protection if I dropped the phone. hard craft was too expensive and so were the leather sleeves.
I found a link in one of the threads for this case.

I decided to order one and found out they now also have their own website. http://www.pack-smooch.com/
I love this sleeve. It is well designed and made. It's made out of 100% wool felt so I am confident it won't scratch my phone like the casemate ID case did to my 3GS. It is thick enough to offer protection but thin enough not to add too much bulk.
It allows me to easily add at least 2 cards (drivers licence and a credit card). It's ideal for me when I want to travel light without a wallet like going to the gym or out to dinner.
The fit is perfect. It is tight enough that the phone won't easily fall out, but easy to remove without too much effort. I have a skin on my phone and it hasn't caused any problems. I tried inserting it with a bumper but the fit is too perfect to allow the bumper to fit.
Overall, I'm very happy with the sleeve and the price was right. The only drawback was shipping. Shipping was from Germany and it took about 7 business days to arrive (not bad since it was the cheapest shipping, but i'm used to much quicker delivery).
Bottom line, if you are looking for an inexpensive sleeve that offers plenty of protection and has an excellent fit, the Pack & Smooch Wallet Case Soay is something worth looking at.
