## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Poor Manufacturing Quality
  

*by E***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2014*

I ended up buying two of these. The first (the black one) was of very poor quality. The plastic camera hole surround barely fitted into the leather and on other parts of the case some of the leather had been rubbed or scraped off. I returned it and decided to buy another one.The second (the brown one) was decently built although still nothing like the quality shown in the product shots on Amazon and Twelve South's own sites. I used it for a few days but had a couple of problems.The first problem was with the camera. I like to use the volume buttons as a shutter release as it jolts the phone less than clicking on the screen. Unfortunately to do this you have to hold the front of the cover up otherwise it will cover the lens. This seems like a design trade off to have the case open in an intuitive direction but it was one I couldn't live with.The second problem was that when making calls with the back folded over the noise cancelling mic is covered. This, according to callers, made my voice very faint and indistinguishable. This is a design flaw that should not have been overlooked and was my main reason for returning it. Which is a shame as I really wanted to like this case.

    Beware: the cool look does not last.
  

*by I***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 May 2015*

I was initially so excited about this product as it really looked very good quality. However, after almost a year, it got completely destroyed: the back support is broken, the colour on the back faded away, the leather got torn on the edges, and the stitches fell apart. The ageing does not fit into this product as the manufacturer claims. If you think that £50 is equivalent of a year, then go for it. Otherwise, I would simply recommend you buying 5 cheap leather cases with the same price.

    Looks good poor quality
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2019*

This looks good but quality is poor. This is my second one and both have split within 6 months
