I quite like the light coming into the main atrium at Tate Britain. I was more interested in the building this time.

Cote et Ciel iPhone4/3G pouch
Sunday, April 24th, 2011
This is a slightly strange product. Firstly because it has a single credit card slot along it’s length. I’d say that this is a pretty edge-case situation that you might find yourself in—out with you iPhone and wanting to carry just one card with it.
Materials
Anyway, this aside, the case/pouch is very nicely made, the stitching is tight and the material is a high quality manmade suede fibre. So far, this seems to have cleaned up my phone a treat, but I have a feeling this won’t last as it gets used more. It feels nice to the touch and is extremely slim, so it doesn’t really transform the iPhone into a pillow or chunky wallet. The suede effect material does also want to bring the contents and lining of your pockets with it when you attempt to take it out.
Fit
The iPhone4 fits extremely well into the case, so well in fact, that it’s not really clear how you’re supposed to remove it. Personally, I have resorted to pushing the base of the phone out and crumpling the bottom of the case.
That pocket
Why on earth Cote et Ciel thought that this was a good idea is beyond me. Aside from the initial “why would you want that?” reaction, it’s also a really bad design decision because it puckers up (see image) and also doesn’t seem to really fit a credit card either. If I can, I’ll be glueing the slot down or the case will be going in the bin.
Conclusion
Cote et Ciel should really stop selling this product, as it’s definitely not up to the standard of their other cases. I’m feeling quite hard done by @ around £20.
