Thanks!
See the back looks really nice. Then you see what looks like wonky volume buttons and also those speaker cutouts.
Your actual pictures highlighted those flaws spot on if you ask me..
Got a tip for us?

Thank you. I am sure that they picked one that they considered the best for their pictures. At least on their pictures the speaker holes were punched out all the way through. Those volume buttons and the whole side, though. Not good at all.
Yes, refund. They sent me a return label. My request had to be approved, though.
i know it doesn’t matter, but im just curious. were they cordial? i had an issue recently where they sent me the wrong color case twice and they did send me return labels and everything but it just didn’t seem like they were nice about it. i was left with a bad feeling.
I sent in the return request online and the next day I received a notice that it was approved and a shipping label to print. It was pretty much just a form letter. I don’t believe any of their response was anything other than that.
I just got this in today. I'm going to post pictures of it here and see what you fine people think of it after looking at these.
Back looks good, I got the Dark Chocolate color. They did include a Covid mask with their logo, so that's a plus.
The inside of the case. No cushioned fabric. All black plastic. Buttons are good. They work easily and don't have a mushy feel to them.
Here you can see the plastic and leather layers
Buttons and cutouts
And last, I don't know what this is. Maybe some type of glue or paint? It's like this all the way around the case.
Like I said, I'd like to hear what other's comments are on this case. I know what I think about it, but am curious if my thoughts are similar.
...that has to be THE worst case I have ever seen on here - it looks absolutely terrible!!! 😮
I agree with you. I’ve said it before, but I just can’t believe that this company would knowingly be sending a case like this to someone who has paid the price that they are asking for. This case is an embarrassment and should have never been shipped.
I just received my Blackbrook Barlow in distressed antique coffee and it looks nothing like this. Is completely leather, no black plastic, no painted areas, and the speaker cut outs are on point. Did you order this from their website? This looks like a knock off foreal. Although I have nothing to back this up with but imo, they seemed better when they were Burkley, before the rebranding.I just got this in today.

Maybe because you have a different model iPhone. I saw a video on youtube and the cases looked like yours. But the craftsmanship is definitely lacking on the one you have.
