You might be wondering:

Can a leather goods store really give me an unbiased answer about the durability of leather cases?

The answer is YES.

For 2 reasons.

First of all, we are well-acquainted with leather; having worked with it and made leather cases for years, since .

Secondly, our experience with hand making cases over the years has been deeply influenced by some very important people.

Who are these valued geniuses who influence our design choices?

You know it&#;

It is our customers!

We have heard back from hundreds of customers over the years. About what they liked and did not like. About what we could change or improve. Our customers have always been totally honest with us about what does and does not work for them and their phones.

We are so thankful for our customer response because that has allowed us to improve our design over the years until and make all of our customers happy. Read on to see what our customers have said over the years.

So, do leather cases actually work?

We can confidently say, thanks to our customer&#;s responses, that our leather cases do indeed protect delicate smartphones from damage. And none better than a Hand and Hide leather case. Read below to see the 3 main reasons our customers love their wallets and depend on them for the long life of their device.

3 Reasons Leather Wallets Are the Best

There are 3 main reasons we believe that Hand and Hide cases are better than the competition out there.

1. Durability.

2. Aesthetic.

3. Functionality.  

Let&#;s address each of these topics with responses from our customers.

Just How Durable is Leather Really?

It isn&#;t enough for you to hear us say that our cases are durable. Why not hear directly from many of our ecstatic customers who took the time to come back and review their Hand and Hide case.

These happy customers were so overjoyed about the longevity of their cases that they had to share their experience and help others like you have the confidence to buy from us.

Leather Case Reviews:

&#;I think the cases made by Hand and Hide are beautifully crafted with quality materials. I drop my almost daily and it is perfectly protected in its Hand and Hide case. In fact, I have no doubt that the case will long outlast the . Any ideas on how to recycle these great cases?&#; - Catherine Clement 4/21/. Samsung Galaxy S6.

&#;This is lovely, high quality, and protects my from frequent bumps and drops :)&#; - Heidi 1/8/. iPhone 7.

&#;Second time purchasing a cell case, and I must say that the quality is simply excellent. Last case lasted 3 years of continuous daily use, and could last another 10 years. A bit pricey perhaps, but worth every dollar.&#; - Aly Bernd 6/5/. iPhone 7.

&#;I had already used a wallet case for several years and loved the idea of having everything in one place. It was a Pad & Quill case, made with a leather cover but a wood case. After dropping it several times, the wood began to crack. I made a new case myself out of a harder wood and that lasted, however the closing mechanism was an elastic cloth band that wore out quickly and also needed replacing--several times. Eventually, I dropped the when the band had come off, the case opened and the screen cracked. That&#;s when I started shopping for a new one and found Hand and Hide. Everything about it is better: Without the wood it is lighter and smaller, it holds as many credit cards but doesn't bulge as much, the snap closure is clearly not going to wear out and means I don't have to worry about damage. Finally, it is beautiful. High quality, beautifully conditioned leather, hand stitched with heavy thread. Just looking at the photos, I was a little worried about how secure the leather mechanism to hold would be but it is solid. Also, made a call to Hand and Hide to enquire about some details and they were super helpful. Worth every penny. Love it.&#; - John Michel, 1/27/. iPhone SE.

Are Leather Cases Attractive?

Another thing our customers mention a lot of the time is how many compliments they received on their new case. Additionally, a good chunk of our business is returning customers. So you can bet that they have taken those compliments to heart.

Here are some sweet compliments from our returning customers:

&#;I highly recommend this company. This is my second purchase from them, I bought a case from them in early and it aged beautifully. I used it every day for 4 years and it&#;s in better condition now than it was when I bought it because the leather is soft and broken-in. I was sad to replace it when my old died.&#; - JR, 4/3/. iPhone 7.

&#;Love my custom iPhone wallet case. I sent my own mandala design for engraving and it looks spectacular! Ordered red and the plum color. They just get better with time!! Repeat customer here!!&#; - Julie Locklear, 8/28/.

&#;I am addicted to exquisite leather craftsmanship and this case fits the category. The hide is high end, subtle yet sturdy. The stitching is perfect. This case is elegant and low key. A piece of art. Congratulations.&#; - emc, 6/29/. iPhone 6s.

&#;My husband has gone through several iPhone cases, but this one is built to last. It&#;s heavy-duty, but slim enough for his front pocket. Very well made, real leather, and monogramming is a nice touch. Several of his friends have said, &#;nice case.&#; I think they&#;re jealous.&#; - jannasperie 2/9/. iPhone 4.

&#;I truly love this item. This is my second wallet. I had the exact same one for my iphone 4S. When I decided to upgrade to the 6 I knew I had to purchase this wallet first. I take it with me everywhere and am constantly receiving compliments on it. It is expertly made. The salesperson at BestBuy told me that it was the best quality wallet case he&#;d ever seen. Thank you for making such a fantastic wallet!&#; - Meleah Boyle, 11/17/. iPhone 6s.

Are Handmade Leather Cases a Practical Choice?

One of the things that our cases have that most other cheap manufacturers of cases don't bother with is a wallet side. Our cases are all designed with a functional wallet half for convenient storage of cash, cards and ID, right next to your . As life gets more complicated, it's important to make your days as simple as possible.

Hear directly from some Hand and Hide case owners about how our wallet pockets have improved their life.

&#;Very nice case. Leather is soft and of very high quality and the construction is excellent. I am replacing a a very nice slip case that cost much more and I like this case better. Price was excellent for such a high quality product. Very good service as well. Pleased with purchase.&#; - Randy Joliff, 9/4/. iPhone 4.

&#;I bought a customised iPhone wallet/case over a year ago, and have used it every day.it is excellent quality and still looks as new.I will certainly be buying more products from hand and hide including another iPhone wallet/case once I upgrade. I live in the U.K. And have not seen such good quality at a reasonable prices.&#; - Sophia 2.24.. iPhone 6s

&#;Excellent craftsmanship. The case fits my like a glove. and provides complete protection. Well worth the money. Big box store versions don't even come close to comparison.&#; - Kesingertodd, 3/2/. Samsung Galaxy Note Edge.

Are you in the market for the recently launched iPhone 14? Then you&#;re likely searching for add-ons as well to elevate your experience with the latest and hottest gadget.

The iPhone 14 has just hit the market and is, by default, the talk of the town thanks to its improved features. Because Apple devices are premiumly priced, it goes without saying that such expensive investments require some TLC.

Contact us to discuss your requirements of customized leather case. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.

A leather case is, therefore, an accessory you&#;ll want to have to protect your investment from damage. The following features make a leather iPhone 14 case worth all the hype in :

• Protects your device from drops and scratches
• Increases functionality by being MagSafe compatible
• Adds to your &#;s aesthetics
• Lasts as long as your iPhone
• Offers hassle-free maintenance

1 - MagSafe Compatibility

If you&#;ve used any of the iPhone 12 or 13 models, then you&#;re likely already familiar with MagSafe technology. 

If not, MagSafe is a magnetic technology that&#;s built into the internal systems of the iPhone 12 and all successive models.

The technology involves the use of magnets placed around the charging coil inside your iPhone. 

These magnets allow MagSafe-compatible accessories, like chargers, sleeves, wallets, car mounts, and grips, to snap seamlessly and securely into place.

A leather case that&#;s MagSafe compatible ensures your accessories attach easily and stay in place.

Leather Case for iPhone 14 &#;&#;

A good leather case will also ensure that your charger is firmly attached to your iPhone to enhance its charging efficiency and facilitate faster wireless charging.

Popov Leather&#;s iPhone 14 cases have a built-in magnetic charging ring that aligns with the device and facilitates fast charging speeds. You&#;ll never have to remove this case to charge your wirelessly or otherwise.

2 - Minimalist Design

Minimalist leather iPhone 14 cases speak subtle simplicity and sophistication. A leather case is also your best bet if you prefer a case with a timeless and professional look.

The subtle allure of leather means you'll never have to question the appropriateness of your case in either formal or informal settings. 

Additionally, the timeless appeal of leather means your case will never go out of style; and with Popov Leather cases, they could easily last forever.

Several design elements other than the material used come into play when making our minimalist leather cases. They include:

• Hand-sewn using Tiger thread: At Popov Leather, we take it stitch by stitch. We use the best thread on the market&#;Tiger thread&#;to create beautiful, natural-looking stitches.
• Customizable: A minimalist leather case leaves enough room for simple customization, like engravings.
  We can add a subtle touch of personality to your leather case by engraving initials, significant dates, or an affirmation you live by. Check out our suggestions for engravings.
• Color variety: We have a selection of four unique leather case colors&#;Black, English Tan, Heritage Brown, and Natural.
  With each of these options, you also get to choose your preferred thread color from two options&#;a bold color, like red, for the English Tan cases or something toned down, like black, for your Black cases.
• Black full leather TPU case: Popov Leather cases are not made entirely from leather. Rather, leather is sewn onto the back of a black polycarbonate case for added protection and MagSafe compatibility.
  The bumper case is simple and its color blends well with the leather without sacrificing the minimalist design of the case.

3 - Foolproof Protection

High-quality leather cases, like the Horween leather cases from Popov Leather, will effectively protect your iPhone 14. 

The combination of TPU and leather offers drop protection by absorbing shock from accidental falls and keeping scratches and scrapes at bay.

The TPU used for the cases is soft, flexible, and sturdy and won't break like plastic cases do in the event of a hard fall.

Other features that add to the functionality of an iPhone 14 leather case include:

• Raised ridges around your camera to prevent possible cracks in case of accidental falls.
• Multi-layered design that includes the TPU bumper, leather patch, and microfiber interior to provide ultimate protection.
• The volume and power buttons are covered to keep dirt and dust away.

Fact Box: Did you know a high-end iPhone 14 leather case can protect your with a natural water barrier? That's right!

It may not be 100% waterproof (so it won't prevent damage if dropped in a pool of water), but it is water resistant and will help deflect subtle raindrops or minor splashes.

You can make your leather case even more water resistant by conditioning it with the Popov Leather Balm, which buffs to a beautiful shine and offers superior waterproofing and long-lasting protection.

4 - Durable and Ages Gracefully

Full-grain leather iPhone cases are meant to be worn. They provide sufficient protection and conveniently house one non-negotiable everyday carry (EDC) item&#;your .

So, I can't emphasize enough why a leather iPhone 14 case in needs to be extremely durable. Popov&#;s leather iPhone 14 cases are made using full-grain leather, which is the highest quality and most durable leather variety.

It stands the test of time and is mostly used to produce heirloom-quality products. The material ages gracefully by forming a patina with every use.

Patina is the signature sheen that forms on high-quality leather when it's exposed to the elements. Leather absorbs moisture, oils, dirt, and grime to form a patina and gain a special vintage or antique charm. 

The patina is a lovely mark of individuality that ensures no two leather cases are alike and is a hallmark of quality.

Furthermore, quality finishes, which include hand-sewn edges, ensure your leather case never unravels or comes apart. Handsewn leather cases will serve you better than machine-sewn pieces. Here&#;s a table comparing the two stitching methods.

Machine-Sewing Hand-Sewing Fast production Slow, but offers superior strength and durability Thinner and cheaper threads are used Thicker and higher-quality threads are used Uses the lock-stitch method Utilizes the saddle-stitching method Once a stitch is broken, both sides loosen and several stitches unravel When one side of a stitch loosens the other remains intact

5 - Soft to Touch, Comfortable to Use

It goes without saying that we're obsessed with our phones. According to research, the average American checks their once every four minutes&#;that's about 344 times a day.

That's a lot of time to have a device in hand. So, you need it to be as comfortable as possible.

A high-quality, full-grain leather case is a dreamy accessory that's soft to the touch, comfortable to hold, and easy to grip (meaning it won't be slipping through your fingers).

Even with their multi-layered structure, leather cases don't add much bulk to your . They add just enough to make your iPhone easier to grip and use.

Being a breathable material means that leather cases help to maintain the thermal balance of your , allowing heat to escape and cool air from the environment to penetrate. This quality prevents the from overheating when you've been using it for a long time.

Flexible leather cases are also great because they're easy to slip onto your , and the buttons remain very responsive.

6 - Easy to Maintain

As I&#;ve mentioned above, grime, grease, oils, and dirt will have a field day on your leather case as it forms a patina.

You can reduce the buildup by wiping your leather case with a slightly damp cloth, warm water, and a leather-safe cleaner. 

Our Leather Scrub is a good choice because it&#;s made using all-natural ingredients, is gentle on all leather finishes, and doesn&#;t leave any residue.

You can follow that by conditioning with our Leather Balm which offers superior waterproofing, long-lasting protection, and a beautiful shine.

&#;&#;Leather Scrub and Balm

Treating your leather case this way will prevent it from drying out or cracking, and will maintain its buttery-smooth texture for longer.

Get Your iPhone 14 a Case That&#;ll Last a Lifetime

The beautiful and breathable texture of a full-grain leather case for an iPhone 14 in will make you never want to put your device down. 

Again, our leather cases are heirloom quality, and you can enjoy yours for as long as you&#;ll have your in hand.

I'm proud of the products we create. That&#;s why I don't fret over the unlimited lifetime warranty that&#;s offered on each and every Popov Leather product.
