High quality, suede-like leather, snug fit, easy to pick up with arthritic fingers
SIX-MONTH FOLLOW UP:I'm very glad I bought this case over a plastic or silicone one. First of all, the fit is snug and precise. In fact, I hope I never have to take my phone out of this case, because I don't think I could do so without doing damage to it or the phone (HYPERBOLE - while it IS hard to get out of the case, and it feels like you're going to need to get medieval, it eventually comes off. I just hope I don't have to do it too often.I'm usually not a fan of having to use the buttons that are integrated into a case, because they make the buttons harder to press, IMO. The buttons of this case are hard plastic or metal (I'm not sure which). I've had the case for ~ 6 months and the buttons feel just like the iPhone's real buttons.I have stiff, arthritic and "slippery" fingers, and find it very hard to pick up small objects or flat objects like a mobile phone. With the Apple leather case I had for my previous phone, the edges were rounded-off (because the phone's edges were rounded-off). I sometimes had trouble picking the phone up. I even tried to rough-up the leather on the sides, to make it easier to grip. All that did was make it look scraped-up. This case has a suede-like finish, which also makes it easier and safer to handle.The leather seems to be of a good quality. I wasn't happy with how "lightly colored" it was, at first, but figured it would darken over time, without my having to do anything, and it has. It reminds me of an old baseball glove I used to have. I had to oil the heck out of it to soften the leather so my weak little hands could make it close. That old glove took on a beautiful, deep brown color, and that's what's happening to this case, even without slopping glove oil all over it. Since the leather isn't slick, it doesn't seem to slip out of my back pocket as easily as some cases I've had. I'm going to get a "Mag-Safe" bedside stand, so it'll be a test of whether the phone will be able to charge.So, if you have arthritic or slippery fingers and normally hate the side buttons on phone cases, but you like the feel of soft leather in a (very) snuggly-fitting case, this would be a good choice. I'm not easily impressed with phone cases, but this one is an easy 5-Star rating.12-Month Follow-UpThe buttons I mentioned in my 6-month follow-up ARE metal, not plastic. I got a Mag-Safe charger by Anker and use the Standby function in the phone to use my phone as a bedside clock/alarm. The magnet in the charger holds on well to this case, even though it is fairly thick leather. After almost a year of taking my phone out and putting it back in for various reasons, this case is finally being retired. See the photos. The place it broke has always been the weak spot in the case, I knew that WHEN the case "passed-on", that's what would happen. But every case I've ever bought has a weak spot. Now, 11 months might not seem very long for a phone case, but the case still looks very good. The leather has turned a deeper brown/tan color and any scratches I've put on it disappear like magic. One time, I fixed a scratch using the oils from my face. Sounds gross, but it worked. I just ordered a new case from this company and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.FOLLOW-UP to the 12-month follow-up for my old brown Belemay case. I just got my new Belemay case today and wanted to give it a different review, but Amazon won’t let me. So I’ll just append it to this 6-month review.I assume it will be just like my old one, but in a different color. I got it in what I thought was a dark gray, but it’s more black than I thought it would be. It came in a (totally un-reusable but very nice) little box, wrapped in a soft-ish fabric bag. Curiously, the box also contained a 1” square piece of either the same type of leather as the case, or some other similar material. That piece was in its own plastic bag, which measured 2¼ by 1½”, that even had a zip-lock-type closure. I have no idea what it IS much less what its function would be. But I figure there must be a good reason the manufacturer spent the money to include it with the case. If anybody figures it out, please let me know. Bottom line is that I really like this case and have NO concerns about recommending it to anyone who likes an “upscale-looking” leather case that fits the iPhone snugly and perfectly. Even though it may seem pricey, my first one lasted thru 12 months of use. It’s not slippery and helps people who have arthritis pick it up easier. Did I mention previously that the square bezel that surrounds the rear camera lenses is made of metal, and is raised just enough to protect your lenses from the scratches they would probably get otherwise. Great case.Ver másVer menos
