Saddle Brown Leather Case

[kyledude]

Hi guys,

I've been using the Apple saddle brown leather case for over a month now and it's starting to age nicely. It certainly gives my Iphone a more classy feel but at times I do feel it's a little bulky, slightly slippery as well.

Anyone ever found a more "classy" and "elegant" case that is minimal and thin at the same time?

What are your thoughts on this? How do you feel about this?

The MagCase from Pitaka is a minimal case which I personally think looks very nice with the twill pattern (gives it a sort of carbon fiber look)

I just discovered it last week based on a suggestion from another post here but I havent picked it up. Hesitant to do so as we are only two months away from new iphones.

The saddle brown Apple leather case is what's currently on my iPhone 7 Plus

I use a leather case from Piel Frama (handmade and excellent quality) both for my iPod Touch and for my iPhone SE.

Elegant, under-stated, and classy.

I'm looking for a different leather case so I'll check out your recommendation.

I meant to write "under-stated", but they produce (to order) elegant hand made leather cases.

Anyway, I'm very happy with both of mine.

Underrated and understated are close enough for me! Thanks for the recommendation.

They are not cheap, but I like their classy elegance.

And I found their service good and they were easy to order from.

I expect to pay more for quality. Do you have a link?

Off hand, no; I just googled Piel Frama.

They have a good, and easily navigable website; the company is Portuguese, (I think).

I found out about them when researching good quality leather cases - as most of the stuff that was available was garish, or that awful silicone, and I wasn't all that crazy about the Apple leather cases.

But Piel Frama do have quite a lot of suff for Apple products, and I was surprised (and delighted) to be able to find a case for my iPod Touch (hardly anyone makes those anymore) and also, for my iPhone SE.

Actually, oops, mea culpa: They are Spanish, not Portuguese.

Their stuff is lovely and I am very happy with the two cases I bought from them; you'll find reviews online, as well.

I've never heard of them until your post but I will buy a case from there if I can settle on one and perhaps I'll get my wife a band for her AW. Being from Texas I enjoy leather products which can be expensive!

S, it is amazing how the Piel Frama craftsmen make the cases!
