I like the style, the size and the soft leather. The only problem is that it has a very strong odor. At first I thought it was mildew but I think it's from the plastic lining. I bought this as a gift (together with a Rosary) for a friend who is entering the Church on Easter. But I'm not sure I can give it to him. I took it out of the bag it came in to air and it seems to be somewhat better. Perhaps the odor will diminish with time, but I'm not sure it will be ready to give as a gift on Easter. So I think I'll have to go to a store and buy another one and I'll keep this one for the future. I was disappointed.
