Seemed really good quality and I'm sure they are but the silver rivett stud came off the strap and stayed in its closure, so was useless - hardly fair wear and tear and for a nokia product, very disappointing, its not like it was only a few quid! Other than that, it is a compliment to the n96 and does its job of keeping it safe. On a positive note, I was dealt with efficiently and refunded promptly by Play.
