Not hard to look it up.
Premium leather
We use leather for things like wallets and zip pulls, because it feels great in hand, and stands up to the test of time. And we only use the best leather we can source, from Leather Working Group gold-rated tanneries. All our leather is full-grain, chrome-tanned, cow leather.

I didn’t care enough to look it up; really appreciate it though. It’s slippery that’s all I care about lol.
You cared enough to ask what leather they use, lol.
How long did you use one for?

What is the best skin/cover to use to cover and protect the camera plateau when you are using an open case like the Caudabe Synthesis?
I use these from GIOPUEY, they are great. (But the link is from Amazon Germany)

I ordered a port dust cover from temu for a massive 29p.
Forgot to remove it before I took off my blue Apple silicone case, and the port protector ripped a massive chunk of silicone off the blue case 😩😩. So obviously I can’t use that case now because it’s all I can see.
Absolute fail on my behalf. But…..means I can grab a new case 😂.

Here, AU, under $100 you get a refund within a few hours after it's scanned at the Post Office. Over $100 can take a few weeks.

Ouch. Hopefully you’re not on some list that makes this your fate going forward.

Yea, just need to make sure not to return too many items in the near future. They have no problem hitting my account for that Prime membership though 😩

I usually get a refund 10-20 minutes after dropping the item at Whole Foods…

I started dropping my refunds off at UPS again since Staples stopped giving out receipts as confirmation. I just have to make sure I drop it off before the truck leaves in the afternoon around 6pm. I usually get my refund confirmation the same day and the money in my account within 2 days. I do send a lot of items back in their original packaging, but I have slowed down and only order now when I really need something, otherwise my account is dormant for weeks at a time.
Have seen where people get their accounts made digital only, banned from purchasing.
I reckon its return v products kept ratio gets you flagged.

I received an Amazon package tonight - not a phone case. I selected to have it shipped in am Amzon box to hide the manufacturer packaging. It arrived showing the contents (no Amazon box) and resealed 😡
Do they expect me to NOT return it?

Yes, it often happens that they send used items and expect us not to return them.
Finally got round to trying the Vanilla silicone case on the Deep Blue 17 Pro at the store. I think at this time it’ll be a pass for me but good to have finally seen it in person.
