I find the metal case prevents crushing and scratching better, but the leather case keeps the phone secured on my hip and absorbs short falls better.

I got this case a year or so ago, and I also found the latch sub-par, nothing that a pair of needle-nose pliers and 5 seconds of effort didn't fix.
I too keep mine in my pocket as I work in a fairly rough, and certainly not gadget friendly environment (I'm a dog trainer) I have found this case to have paid for itself many times over, I have dropped it at least 3 times onto the sidewalk, and once had a german shepherd dog jump up and bite it.
This device has become my office, even when I am out in the field (and I mean that literally) and I think a big reason for the success of the device is this case.
