Fantastic case! Excellent quality leather! I bought this case originally for my note 4 and when I replaced my note with a Pixel 2 xl I was very sad about not having my case. I looked and looked and couldn't find the same case for my Pixel. I contacted Alice who makes the cases, said what I wanted, and has my case made wonderfully exactly how I wanted it.The stitching is strong. The phone case that houses your phone is sewn into the case and not just glued. It's glued too, but the stitching is what really keeps it in place.The one I had made for me has vertical pockets, which I prefer, and requested. The pockets are large enough to hold multiple cards and cash, but still tight enough where nothing falls out.The leather is (I think) crazy horse leather. When you first get it, the leather is smooth and light in color and as you use the phone the case becomes slightly darker as the oils from your hands soak into the leather. I will never buy a case for any future phone from anywhere else.Fantastic! Thank you Alice!Not sure why the other reviewers don't love this case for what it is. The pictures and discriptiom show a simple, high quality leather phone case. Make no mistake, that is exactly what you get! The leather is thick and tough and the stitching seems to be well done. The flexible case part the phone is held in by fits very well, and is much nicer than hard plastic ones that I have had in the past. I also like the fact that the case is sewn into the leather flap, unlike other leather cases I've had in the past that were only glued in, and pulled off.When I first received the case, the thick leather was nice and stiff. I applied a few coats of conditioner, and after a few weeks of use, it is breaking in beautifully. It is aging and distressing very well, looking exactly as I had expected.Added some pictures so you can see the case the phone snaps into for people asking questions. You can see the stitching and the holes for the rear camera and the holes for the speaker.... Use you can hear the speaker, plug in headphones, and charge your phone all while in this case.This is a great case! Really nice leather and very solid. Great look, great feel. The stitching is very well done! The package was delivered faster than quoted and was wrapped in a nice paper wrapper tied with twine Inside the delivery envelope. It was a very nice personal touch.Updated 10/15/2018Just purchased my second case for a different phone. This case is just as perfect as the first! Love these cases. The first case is still going strong. Just gets better looking with wear. Great, great case! Highly recommend!Excellent iPhone case. Way better than one I paid three times as much. Don’t hesitate buy one. Excellent customer service alsoFinally found my FOREVER iPhone case!!! Love that the holder is sewn in. This is top quality leather. Fit great! Name engraved is such a plus. I have bought dozens of cases looking for something unique and protective, but all seemed to be 'cookie cutter' once received. Well I don't have to worry about seeing this one on every iPhone. Arrived several days before expected. (Does NOT have magnetic closing but seems to stayed closed pretty well.) THANKS for a handmade job well done.I love this guy's work, I've a ordered a couple things now and I love love love them. The leather is perfect, the feel the smell the thickness... the stitching is unique, its strong and attractive. Although I know this case will out live my phone I would buy it over and over again. I'll be back no doubt about it!This is the most amazing well crafted product I have purchased for my iPhone. After reading other reviews I decided to try it out since all my other cases quickly got scratched and faded. Ive had this case for a few months now and it looks impecable, I will be ordering more products from this vendor and its a great affordable high quality gift.Quality second to none! I’ve ordered lots of leather items online, and only this company uses real leather! It is hand stitched and the rubber phone holder/protector is high quality. I had my name engraved and was perfectly crafted by hand. This company I recommend to anyone that wants a phone cover/wallet that is one of a kind, real leather, and will last a long time!
