OEM Leather Sleeve for Curve Does Not Fit Properly

I bought a used Curve 8330 from a friend, its perfect. But I wanted the leather sleeve that they come with new. So I bought one off eBay. It came, and its an authentic Blackberry one. But it does not seem to fit, I have to jam my blackberry into it.

Is this the way its supposed to be? Or does it need to be "worked in"?

After a few days it should definitely slip in/out more easily. I stuck an old samsung slider into it with the gray foam thing still inside to help break it in.
