Pretty but impractical
The craftsmanship is beautiful, but unfortunately several small yet important details were not well thought out.<br /><br />1) CON: The Latch<br />I had a similar case before that came with a snap and a more slender strap, which is ideal. The snap on the other version was easy to open and close, even without looking (plus it worked to snap the cover open), but this latch is harder to use. In addition, the latch sticks out and catches on pockets, making it very difficult to get the phone out of a pocket.<br /><br />2) CON: The Strap<br />The strap is too short, so the latch on this version does not hook when the wallet side of the case has cards and cash. Also, the strap is so wide it pushes a person’s finger up to where the finger covers the bottom lens of the camera on newer iPhones.<br /><br />3) CON: Phone Shell<br />While I love that the shell is a soft silicone, I was disappointed to see it is glued in to the case, not sewn in.<br /><br />4) PRO: Holes for wrist strap<br />There is a metal ring on top as well as one on the bottom, giving flexibility for how the wrist strap is latched.<br /><br />Overall, this is fantastic quality genuine leather but is too poorly designed to be worth purchasing.
