Has anyone found a good leather case for the new iPhone SE? I know that Apple's leather case is expensive (I've owned one in the past) but they are great quality and have held up well for me. I am curious to see if there are other case manufacturers that sell quality leather cases at a more affordable price. I appreciate your help!
Got a tip for us?

I looked and couldn’t find any so went with the Apple case for $45. Yeah, I know it’s pricey but for a phone I plan on keeping a long time I found it worth it.
There are several sites if you just google “leather iPhone cases” that have good quality cases that are sometimes a bit cheaper, however, I usually have found them to be a bit thicker. The Apple case fits like a glove, feels great and is nicely thin. I’d recommend it.
The main reason for my SE purchase was to enjoy a smaller phone so a slim fit quality leather case was important to me.

You can get the Apple leather case for an iPhone 7 or 8 that fits fine and you can find them for a lot less.

I am getting an Apple leather case from Kohls.com tomorrow for both myself and my wife. $18 each. Unfortunately free shipping is only when you order $75. They also have the Apple 7 battery case for $39.60. Normally a $99 item.
Awesome thanks ! Getting a Best Buy PM on the smart battery case
I bought a genuine Apple leather case for iPhone 7, $15 on clearance, fits my new 2020 SE really well.
Just a follow up on my purchase. Both of our 7 leather cases arrived today. On the face of the package was a $13.50 clearance price from Kohls, despite being charged $18/case. I called Kohls, waited for 20 minutes for a rep, and received a $9 adjustment based on the price sticker on the box.
One of the benefits of being retired... having time to wait on hold for a representative to assist. And my very gnarly IP6 silicone case, surgically altered to fit the 7 and then the SE, is now officially retired too.
