Durable, protective, and gorgeous
I have had this nearly 6 months now and it is still strong.  I have dropped it several times and my phone has survived, even with the case open.  The coloring has changed a bit since I first purchased it but it is leather and I expected that.  The leather dye does wear off on things that are stored in it, like credit cards, but does not affect functionality.  I wouldn't keep anything sentimental unprotected in this case.  The next time I upgrade my phone I will be looking for this case in hopes to find one that will fit it.  Please keep making them!<br /><br />A year later...I decided to update this because I love the case so much I'm trying to find one for the new Note 20. I don't even want to buy the phone until I can find this case for it. It's aging beautifully and has held up perfectly. I've dropped it more than enough times to be confident in saying it protects my phone well. The latch is high profile so it's wearing holes in my back pockets, but still worth it.
