I have been using :apple: products since 1986 but the iPhone X Leather Folio is really the first product which does not meet my expectations. Leather is ultra-thin, not sturdy at all and flimsy cover wobbling over the front. Also parts are not leather (divider to keep credit cards ):(

Although I was not very satisfied with the Twelve South BookBook stitching quality (unraveling after 3-6 months) I consider buying their Journal for iPhone X.

Ive tried the Spigen crystal clear, the Ringke air and the Otterbox symmetry but keep going back to the Apple leather case. Just don’t like how other cases feel in the hand.

Bought the aubergine Apple leather case for my silver X. I really like it and it does not add any bulk to the phone. This is my 4th leather case purchase since buying 6 +, 6S + and the 7 +. All have held up extremely well.

Would love to see some good pics of this combo.

Yep. I looked at one in the Chicago store and was similarly unimpressed. How hard would it have been to manufacture in a magnetic closure for the cover? The ones I looked at weren't finished as well as $25.00 Vaja knock-offs sold on Amazon

Perfect case for me. Slim, grippy, 5 feet drop protection and $20.

New HEX case from Nomad, and the lip goes all the way to the edges of the screen.

Thoughts? Probably won't fit most screen protectors.

That looks really nice. Tempted to order it for my SGX.

That actually looks very nice
I see a lot of issues with this one - because the case goes to the edge of the screen, gestures will almost certainly be impacted - you need those few mm outside of the screen area to start-end the gesture but with this case on the edge & with its high lips, you're going to miss a lot of gestures...

RhinoShield carbon fiber backplate. Had it less than a week and just snapped like a twig when trying to put it in place.

What a joke. Stay away from rhinoshield/evolutive lab products. Keep your money

Really wish they didn’t replace the Playproof and Solidsuit with this garbage.
