ZippoPouches

leather is nice. made in india.

Its good, abit tight on my zippo lighter.

terrible, so difficult to get the zippo out of it

Such a shame that quality was overlooked during manufacturing, I was so looking forward to this. Leathers nice and thick, front press stud nice, but you turn it over and oh my goodness.The belt loop is held together by a plastic/metal rivet which is ok but the stitching around this is loose and only half stitched. The actual stitching around the front to fix it to the rear has loose ends and the two pieces of leather which I presume should be glued together as there's some glue on it, actually comes away.I have a lot of Zippo products, but this is really disappointing. Wouldn't recommend.Now I could have just returned it but I decided to unpick the already loose thread, rivet the belt loop on with a better rivet which makes the belt loop a better fit to my width of belt. Then I added a couple more rivets to stop the "flapping", then hand sewed, using a higher grade waxed thread the front piece to the back face. Afterwards I applied beeswax to all the stitching and edging and then smoothed it all off on a smooth piece of curved wood to get a nice edge finish.Now it's something to be proud of and I know it's not going to loose my Zippo, 100% times better than the rubbish which was delivered. Cheers.

Bought a 'filigree pattern' zippo and this little case for it.The case itself is well made and good quality but the back of the popper stud on the inside of the pouch rubs against the zippo, metal to metal.This will scratch the zippo.If you bought a zippo for what it looks like as much as what it does, you won't want it all scratched up.I've put a little felt pad on the back of the metal popper inside the pouch so it doesn't damage my zippo.Apart from that it's a very good fit, albeit an expensive luxury item that you probably don't need but like to have.

How does a company spending thousands of dollars a year plus, on producing such a fine piece of workmanship as a Zippo lighter allow any department to buy, make, procure such a piece of junk as this pouch and allow the brand name to be added to it?To enable the stud to close over the lighter one needs to push the lighter hard into the leather where it now sits wedged in the leather and is now extremely difficult to remove, where one has to pull so hard as to likely cause the hinge mechanism to deform. Even given the fact that the leather will become more supple in time, by then the lighter will be ruined. Dear oh dear oh dear!

I've read through the other reviews, some are good, some are bad. This is my take on the product. Everything about it screams quality. The leather is smooth and nicely finished. It's thick enough that it won't tear unless abused but thin enough that it's nicely flexible. The fastener has a smooth action and is built to last. The clip is tight and holds the pouch onto the belt without any fear of accidental detachment. I work in construction (on the tools not some office wallah who pretends to get his hands dirty with a 10 minute walk round the site once a day) and attached PROPERLY to the belt this will stay in place for as long as you want. The fit is perfect, it holds the lighter in the pouch snugly but allows removal and replacement when required without any force or snagging. The clip is designed for a wider belt and does slip up and down a bit on a narrower belt. The internal surface of the fastener will scratch the lighter if no protection is added. One of the other reviews suggests putting a small piece of tape inside the pouch over this surface to prevent this. I did this using a small square of decorators masking tape. It works a treat. This is a product I would thoroughly recommend.

Fit = 5stars ... it holds the Zippo lighter perfectlyQuality = 4stars ... the leather is excellent but the stitching looks like it will be a weak point but easily repairable, time will tell.Seller = 5stars ... extremely quick delivery and as advertised.Security = 1star ... the press stud that hold the belt loop is not fit for purpose, it repeatedly comes loose leaving the pouch and lighter at risk of being lost. Considering that the whole point of the product is to hold your beloved Zippo safely what's the point of if fitting with such a weak inferior securing device.Solution = ... as another reviewer suggested the press stud can be superglued to secure it, and also the loop is long enough to by pass the stud and leather stitch it to the bottom of the pouch.
