  This review is about the colour: Black

  I received the case on 17/05/2022. For those wondering, it is indeed genuine leather and not faux leather. The quality of the leather is acceptable, not the best I have seen, but it definitely feels (and smells) like real leather.

  When closed, the case is bulky. It is approximately twice as thick as the phone itself. The pockets may potentially cause discomfort.

  The stitching is generally well done, although there is a spot on the back where the stitching protrudes.

  Inside, there is the company logo nicely "printed" on the leather, as well as slots for 3 cards, which can fit debit/credit cards. Between the two sections of the case, the surface is made of suede leather, which feels of good quality in the hand and aesthetically matches well. There is also space for larger papers/bills, with enough friction due to the suede leather to prevent the bills from slipping. Overall, the interior of mine is the best part of the case, with the best pieces of leather and the softest texture in the hand.

  The protective part of the case is made of black plastic, so the color of the phone is not visible at all, unlike other cases that are transparent. The only indication of the phone is in the hole for the cameras on the back. The plastic holds the phone well, and the buttons on the sides are satisfactorily responsive, although slightly harder. Lastly, the USB port hole is medium to small, so the "basic" USB cable (like the one that came with the phone) fits exactly. Using thicker cables will be difficult to impossible.

  One more thing I didn't think about before purchasing is that the leather strap that closes the case is located on the top part of the case, in the section where the cards go, and not in the section where the phone is. This means that when closed, the case sits flat on the table only upside down, with the cameras facing upwards. If you close the case and leave the phone with the screen facing upwards, the case will not be flat on the surface. Also, if you hold the phone with one hand and want to close the case just by shaking your hand, the piece that closes the case will hit the screen of the phone and will not close. This may change over time as the leather softens.

  Overall, I recommend it. If you are looking for a genuine leather case that almost completely hides the color of the phone, it is a good choice. It is somewhat hard and rigid, which makes using the phone somewhat difficult, with the (positive?) result that my hand lifts the phone less. However, I would not recommend it to someone who wants a lot of flexibility/comfort in movements. The leather gives a nice "luxurious" feel to the phone, which is what I was looking for, which is why I bought it. Over time, it will soften and leave my own marks/oils from my hands.

  Finally, I note that since it is genuine leather, the piece of leather on each case will be different. Mine was pleasantly soft on the outside and very soft on the inside, but this may not be the case for another buyer.
