On the left bottom side, my iPhone slightly will slip out from the Apple leather case. My jeans pocket is a bit little tight and maybe that’s the problem.

Or, do you think the leather case is wearing out and I should get a new one?

Is this a common issue with Apple leather cases?

Yeah you should see if you can get it replaced. I constantly switch between my black and saddle brown apple leather case for my mini and do not have that issue.

I’m going to get a new one. Thank you.

I’m always scared to take off or especially put the leather case on my iPhone because I’m paranoid that if I do it the incorrect way, the side buttons might break if in case I tend to snap it on too hard.

So what should or what would be the best recommendation to inserting the leather case onto the phone? I always begin with inserting the bottom corners first and work my way up inserting the upper corners of the phone.

Is this correct?

What is the recommended way?

I use a touch of Elmer’s glue.

You’re overthinking this. Just snap it on.
