Hi everyone. Forgive me if I've overlooked the answer in this thread or another, but I'm struggling to find what I'd really like for my forthcoming iPhone X: a nice piece of leather, suede or Alcantara cut so that it covers only the back of the iPhone and is adhered with a residue-free adhesive.

What I'm trying to accomplish is this: When I put down the iPhone X on a hard surface (e.g. desk) - backside down - I want a material that's thick enough to prevent the protruding iPhone camera from coming into contact with said surface. In the past, I've used TwelveSouth's SurfacePad, which did the trick (no...I don't want a Folio style for the iPhone X). I also once got my hands on the suede backing from an Element Case and used that on my iPhone 5. Neither are an option today.

Here are a few examples (the first of which may be what I'm looking for, but I haven't yet received a response from the manufacturer indicating if the Alcantara is thick enough):

Any other suggestions??

Thanks!
