Too short
I really like the design.  This is a sturdy holder.  If this tape measure holder were about 2" - 3" longer I would be happier.  It rides too high on the hip.  To be honest, you might as well clip it on your belt.  I wear untucked shirts and would rather have a holder that rides lower.  As I bend over, it pinches my side and often times my thigh lifts the tape measure out of the holder and it falls off.  I do not have this problem with the leather holders.  If you are looking for something just to protect your belt, this would be fine.
