Now that Apple has stopped making leather cases, I think this is the only way to go. Personally, I prefer the color of the older, lighter brown Apple case. The sides are not leather, but hard black plastic. Aesthetically, I would have liked them to be leather. Practically, it is convenient to touch and helps with better grip. It has a slight groove which helps even more with grip, and since there are no sharp edges, it doesn't hurt the fingers. The plastic on the side also helps the phone to easily slide in and out without the case overflowing. For someone who wants to change cases frequently, this is a positive feature. In any case, it fits well and doesn't come off easily. The buttons are just right, not too hard or too soft. It feels good, especially now that there is also the action button. Protection at all levels is very good. It is positive that the case protrudes less than the rest of the phone at the front bottom, providing safety and ease for the gesture that takes you to the home screen, where you have to swipe up from the bottom of the phone. Certainly, 70-80€ is a lot for a case. Personally, I saw it on Black Friday for 40€ and bought it immediately.
