Having splashed out on an iPhone X, I wanted a case that would do it justice in terms both of looks and level of protection. My initial choice was Apple's leather folio case. Without going into too many details, I was disappointed both in the utility and durability of this case when considering its very high price. After much consideration as to a suitable replacement, I eventually opted for Otterbox's Strada case. On balance, I am glad that I did so, albeit it is not without its niggles. I had a firm requirement for a foilo/wallet style case as I dislike stick on screen protectors but nevertheless wanted decent protection for the iPhone X's lovely (and delicate) screen.I was attracted to the Otterbox owing to their reputation for protective cases and the Strada looked to be a good combination of protection without excess bulk.For those of you who want a case which lets you leave your wallet at home, this is not the case for you (in my opinion). Whilst the inside of the front cover has a slit within which a card could be stored. I would say that this is the extent of what it could reasonably hold. For those of you with multiple bank/credit/store cards, this won't cut it. On the plus side, the minimal storage capacity leaves the front of the case pleasantly unbulky, which is what I personally was after.The front and rear exterior of the case is leather effect, with a hard plastic border around the edges and, on the rear, around the camera insert. Having previously used Apple's leather folio case, the leather effect material does not scream quality, but I expect that it will withstand day to day wear considerably better than Apple's offering. There is stitching around the edge of the case and a metal section in the middle right edge which bears the Otterbox logo. All in all, its attractive enough in an understated way but won't win you any envious glances (if any phone case does).The front cover includes a cut out in the top middle for the speaker. Nice to be able to use the phone for calls with the cover closed. Not something I could do with Apple's folio. The cover closes magnetically, with a small magnet in the tab on the right hand side which attaches to the Otterbox branded metal section. Pleasingly, when you tuck the front cover round the back, the tab with the magnet still makes contact with the metal section, holding the front cover in place.The phone buttons have corresponding 'bumps' on the exterior of the case. In this case (ha), the Apply folio wins with its machined metal buttons. That said, with the Strada case you need to apply too much extra pressure to change volume etc. A further niggle is the fact that opening closing the case doesn't automatically switch the screen on/off like the Apple folio does. I find it annoying having to constantly manually switch the screen off (when I even remember to do so).My final niggle is perhaps slightly unfair. The hard plastic which surrounds the edge of the case is slightly thicker than I expected it to be. While this is no bad thing in terms of protecting your precious phone, it has the unfortunate side effect of making it impossible to use my existing desktop charging stand as the lightning connector is too short to reach the phone through the case. That said, there's no reason I can't splash out more money on a new wireless charging stand to solve this issue (grumble, grumble). I suppose that on balance, I'm glad to have the extra protection as I have managed to drop my phone on several occasions since purchasing this case and it is no worse for the experience.Finally, I'd comment on the price. I got this case for approximately 20% of the cost of a new Apple folio case. Notwithstanding my niggles, its a bargain at this price. It may not be the world's fanciest case, but its good quality, a nice balance of protection vs bulk and a very reasonable price to boot. Recommended.

I just got my iPhone XS and I'm keen to avoid that £££ bill if I drop it on the floor.I had a wallet case on my old iPhone 6s and i used to chuck it about and generally take poor car of it. The wallet cases (I got through 5) took a beating but the phone survived for over 4 years with only cosmetic marks. I have also got used to not carrying a separate wallet.On the other hand - I really like the look of this phone and don't want to immediately hide it inside a bulky case. Perhaps there is a way of protecting the phone without hiding it?I couldn't decide and I've bought this case and also a thin clear plastic case so I can try both out.If you're having a similar quandary check out my review on the ESR Clear Case.The Review:It arrived the day after I ordered - I quite like the packaging.The build quality is pretty sturdy, leather outer, hard plastic back / rubbery plastic front, metal band and faux suede inner. I can see the seams in the plastic from the manufacturing process if I look closely - a small niggle. The leather can easily be scratched up with my nails. I should probably just cut my nails.The phone fits tightly and everything is positioned well as expected.The card holder is a little tricky to get cards in and out of. I tested it with 2 cards and a bank note in and it does close but I think it'll need to bed in as the magnet wanted to pop open (these always stretch and bed in)Here's the clever bit - the front flap of the case fits within the chunky outer frame so it does not add extra bulk on top of the protective case. My old wallet cases and this is actually thinner as a result despite this phone being thicker to start off with! Also the cards sit in a recessed area and are not jammed up against the phone screen so (hopefully) no more scuffed up phone screen.The front cover folds around the back and the magnet snaps onto the metal band on the back - this is good as I no longer have to deal with the flappy...flap thing I used to have on old covers.The 'hinge' part of the leather cover does crinkle up when you fold it round, not sure how this will age but I'm not sure I'll spend much time looking at my phone like this either.I have to admit that the thick protective case does take away from the elegance of the phone itself. when I put my phone in there I no longer have a snazzy new iPhone, I have an 'Otterbox' which is not nearly as impressive. Also it adds more bulk to the phone which is noticeable when using it, I can no longer reach the "Settings" app with my dumb for instance. There's the flap which you have to deal with when using the phone and can be annoying when taking pictures (this is nothing new to me though) Large handed people might appreciate having the larger sides, it definitely feels more secure to hold than the bare phone.A friend told me that it's a big phone already so putting it in a case would mean that it was no longer pocketable. I'm happy to say that this has not turned out so. It's not really worse than my old iPhone 6s with wallet case, although I might try and switch to 1 card as 2 cards is giving it a bit of a 'bulgy' appearance.iPhone XS Dimensions: 7x69x142mmOtterbox, iPhone XS, 2 cards & £20 note: 15x77x150mmPrevious wallet case, iPhone 6s, 2 cards & £20 note: 16x75x142mmVerdict - For now I've decided to try and get by with the clear plastic case as I want to enjoy (and show off) my new phone. I'm taking the Otterbox with me in my bag as a backup incase I have any scares with the thin plastic one and decide that I can't be trusted with such little phone protection.I'll probably switch to the Otterbox once the New Phone novelty wears off and I get bored of carrying a separate wallet. It seems like a well made and well thought out case for a good price.I'll try and return to add a longer-term review once I've given it a field test.

After dropping the phone on day 5 without a case and having my heart in my mouth, it was time to put the phone in it’s case before something worse happened.Despite the fantastic look and feel of the iPhone X I decided I didn’t really want to chance it. I normally go for cases which just protect the back and sides, and just protrude slightly. Which in hindsight aren’t great cases if it lands screen side down at an angle or hits a stone or something, smashed screen for sure.So for my X I decided to go for a full wrap around flip front case, not only that I wanted something that clearly had a bit of bulk to it.After a bit of research I went for the OtterBox series which had,had some fine reviews on a number of sites.Of course it was difficult to trust reviews at the time as the iPhone X had only been out for less than a week. How many of the customer reviews were legit? None of the major Apple sites had yet to get their case reviews up. Although since a number now have, the Otterbox Strada Series for the iPhone X has been picking up some fine reviews.At time of purchase the case cost £36.37 which compared to prices I’ve paid for cases in the past is quite a significant amount. However when you’ve got one of the most expensive phones money can buy, that apparently also smashes pretty easily, skimping on a case seems like a really stupid thing to do.The case is pretty much full on plastic with a faux leather type back and front. The back is very strong as are all the sides.The front is slightly more bendy than the back, but not that much, it still feels pretty stiff, and although I'm not going to do any drop tests, I am confident that at least from hip height the the phone would feel well protected. The front case stays in place by a small magnetic clip. There's also space to keep bank cards and what not, but I'm not sure why anyone would want to do this personally, especially when there's a small magnet nearby. Doesn't seem a good idea for those strips on the back of our cards!The depth of the case is also good, allowing the protruding camera lens to be protected as well assuming it doesn't land on anything that just happens to be pointing upwards right at the point of the camera lens. An added bonus means the phone now lies flat on a desk!It weighs pretty much next to nothing, and despite the bulk of the case, it doesn't really feel that it adds to much size to the phone. No one is really going to know you've got an iPhone X in your hand either until you use it, so a little bit of added security, obviously this may also be a down side if you like to show off, but in which case you're probably using the phone naked anyway and stumped up for AppleCare.The side buttons you do need to give a bit of a decent push in order to press them, but that's no real biggie really.The only major complaint is perhaps that in an ideal world the front flip would actually be on the other side, in order to not be on the same side as the volume buttons which can also be used as buttons to take photos. Meaning you need to hold the front flip up with your finger in order to use those buttons to take photos, something which is much easier to do that trying to press the on screen button. Flipping the front flap all the way over also obviously blanks the camera out completely, but that's to be expected regardless of what side they put it.Overall I'm really pleased with this case and would recommend it for anyone that is feeling they need some decent protection for their iPhone X

After 1+ Year Review: TL;DR: Meh on the aesthetics, but wow - the practical benefits (protection, and card holder): 5 stars.After 2 weeks Review: TL;DR: Love the aesthetics, and the practical benefits (protection, and card holder): 5 stars.After 1+ Year Review (Long)By far the best part about this case is the protection it offers. I have dropped the phone with the case on onto solid ground, which should have damaged the phone in every conceivable measure. (This includes dropping it from a speeding bicycle) I am glad to report that my phone looks brand new - even to this day. I have a friend who has the same phone, with the same case, who reports the sameIt also has a slot for cards.I consistently put 3 cards there (credit, debit, and library card) and I am glad to report that it hasn't worn out the slot. In hindsight, I didn't need to carry all that cards (Samsung Pay) and in my experience, I haven't come across any vendor (restaurants, hair salon etc) that doesn't support contact-less in the last year or so. Maybe the occasional cash withdrawal from the ATM, but I'm glad to know that they're there.The look is rather dull - it's a dull black blob that makes my sleek phone thick. Love or hate about the flip to open - I can't have it docked onto a stand but it has saved my phone when it fell (the flip closed as it fell.) In practical terms, I use this when I'm on the move, (or when I go out) and swap it out for a stylish case I prefer when in "safer" environment like office (where the carpet can protect the fall, the height is likely to be less than 80cm etc)Cannot recommend enough for the protection it offers - 5 stars.After 2 weeks Review (Long)I've been using this case for 2 weeks everyday. I appreciate the look of it (rather stylish) it holds 1 card (can hold up to 2, but didn't want to wear it out) I have ditched the wallet since I have Samsung Pay in the phone - but I've also been cashless since 2011.It feels sturdy so I feel reassured that even when I drop it, it won't break. I can't comment on its actual protective abilities though something I hope not to find out.The form factor is the reason I love it and I hate it - the flip part protects the screen no matter how it falls. It also gets in my hands' way so I take it off on when I get home. Would not dare leave 5 feet from my desk or room without it on though. 5 stars.

This case provides an excellent solution for protecting the iPhone 6S.The level of protection is good. The sides of the case rise to protect the screen from face down impacts. The phone is held securely. The access ports, camera and speaker are recessed with a chamfer to ensure protection without compromising access with the body of the case. The wake/sleep and volume buttons are covered by the case body but can be easily operated. The silent switch is not covered, but accessible in the same way as the ports. The function of the phone is in no way compromised by the case and the weight added, though discernible, only adds to the feeling of substance rather than suggesting bloat.I was concerned about the quality of the leather before purchasing the case.This was unfounded. The leather fits beautifully to the body and - surprisingly - does not look out of place against the plastic elements of the case. The stitching is not noticeably contrast - the colour is more accurately described as grey rather than white. The detailing is more subtle than the photographs suggest.I was also concerned about the fit of the folio flap and the security of the magnetic closure. Other cases with this design have had a great deal of vertical and lateral movement in the hinge and weak closures that spring open under pressure. This case has none of these problems. The closure is secure even when the case is dropped. The leather hinge has the correct amount of resistance - i.e. slightly too much spring at present, which I anticipate will ease with continuing use. The flap has minimal unwanted movement. This may change with use and if it does so I will add an addendum to this review.The card slot can easily accommodate a single card and a single note. This does not compromise the closure of the case. The card is not easy to remove, though again I expect that this will change with time and use. I would not consider this case to be a wallet replacement, but perhaps it may be useful to carry a regularly used card, such as an Oyster or main debit/credit card.Finally, the branding of the case is remarkably subtle. The photographs make the 'Otterbox' cartouche appear more garish and obtrusive than it is. Something to be thankful for.Overall I consider the design/production of this case to be better considered and more successful than the iPhone 6S it contains.

When I received my new Samsung S7 edge I thought this phone looks expensive and very fragile. I read multiple accounts on the internet of broken screens from minor bumps and drops. With my previous history of breaking phone screens I wouldn't even dream about taking it out of the house without a good case.I tried other combinations of cases and screen protectors but could not find anything that gave me the confidence that the phone would be protected enough.When the Otterbox Strada arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the case. Right from the start I was impressed with the packaging and the presentation, it felt like I had received a rather special case. I cant overstate the feeling quality,protection and attention to detail.The case is wrapped in premium leather which has been reinforced to protect the screen. The stitching is very neat and helps make the case look very stylish. The cover is held by a magnetic clasp which can hold the cover in both positions opened or closed. The magnet feels strong enough to keep the lid closed if the phone is dropped. There is a pocket for a credit card and a cut out for the earpiece, allowing calls whilst the case is still closed.Inside the case is a bumper style case which snugly holds the phone. It is quite a tight fit so I don't think it will be possible to fit a screen protector, Maybe a plastic screen protector could be trimmed to fit. I feel the cover/bumper offers enough protection for the screen though, The bumper is thick and covers all sides of the phone. There are raised areas at the top and bottom of the phone to protect the screen if it is dropped whilst the cover is open. Even with the bumper the edge functions work well. The cut outs line up perfectly and the buttons work well, a little stiff but I am sure they will wear in.The back of the phone is protected by the same material used for the bumper and covered with leather. There is a large cut out for the camera lens and flash which is also well protected by the back of the case.I feel that the level of protection offered by this case is very impressive and yet the case still manages to stay fairly slim. I am sure there are cases out there that can provide more protection but I am equally sure that they would be to bulky to use everyday and would not look/feel so good.I cant recommend this product enough.

For no reason that I can think of, my two year old Samsung S7 started to bulge in the middle. I decided that this was not going to be a good thing and replaced it with a S8.This of course meant that some of my existing accessories also needed replacing and my highest priority was to get a new case. Given the fragility of the S8, I felt that the case needed to enclose the whole phone but must also allow wireless charging.After a bit of looking around, I settled on the tan coloured Otterbox even though it was a bit more expensive.It looks good and I am generally very pleased. The whole phone is encased apart from apertures at the bottom for the headphone socket, microphone, media speaker and USB socket.There is also an opening at the back for the camera, flash and fingerprint senor.On that subject, I couldn't get the fingerprint sensor to accept my fingerprint with the case on (but that may just be me as I can never get fingerprint sensors to work reliably on any of the phones or tablets that I have tried).There is also a small hole in the front cover for the speaker so you could still use the S8 as a phone with the case closed (although I am not sure how you would answer an incoming call).It took a while to get used to the magnetic catch on the case as it does not lie flat on the side of the phone when it is closed. This seems to be intentional and the magnet is strong enough to keep the front cover in place.The front cover can be folded all the way to the back although this will prevent use of the rear camera/torch/fingerprints.Volume and power buttons do not have holes; instead there are tiny bulges which exactly match the locations of the respective buttons. It takes a little while to get used to them but they work well.In case you were wondering, there is no magnetic sensor to turn the screen on when the front cover is opened but I don't know if Samsung even support that function.For me, the main thing was that the wireless charger still worked and it keeps my phone in pristine condition.The one thing I haven't tried is dropping the phone from a height of 1m on to concrete to see how well the case protects it. If it ever happens, I will update this review and let you know how well it worked.As always, if I encounter any problems then I will update this review.

Ive always been a little unsure when it has come to cases. Im very choosy, much like a woman with her handbag or purse. If youre gonna choose a nice phone and spend lots of money then dont be scroungy with the case!This case cost me £25 on Amazon and there was only one other that I would have gone for which was the Snakehive which cost even more. Ive got a Samsung S10 so not messing about, youre only going to drop your phone once with a rubbish case and its game over.Pros:Fits well and the front has a magnet which keeps the flap open or closed when youre using it. I havent dropped it yet but it feels secure and sturdy,is real leather and have the confidence that if I was to drop it by accident then it would be safe.The flip covers the front of the phone screen well and the magnet is strong enough that it doesnt undo so easily that it may accidentally open up while sat on your desk or in your car. The flap is also quite thick so even if it was in your pocket and you hit the corner of a desk or some drawers then chances are your phone screen is ok.The parts where the buttons are covered on your phone are durable and work well. You have to press a little harder than you would but thats the price you pay for having peace of mind.Makes your phone look very business like and professional looking.Cons:The flap isnt magnetised so the screen doesnt go off like the samsung cases. This means that you have to either turn the screen off yourself or let the timeout do its thing.The magnet for keeping the flap open or closed is something you have to be aware of if you are placing it near screens or things which may be affected. Ive not tested this theory, I just know magnets and IT stuff dont mix.Case makes the phone more chunky but its a trade off. I would rather a more chunky positive feeling phone than one Im scared to drop but looks cool. This case does add some weight to your phone but not so much its a brick.The case doesnt fold back so that it sits up. You can fold the flap back and where it folds it raises along that edge so you have a small lift if required.Overall worth the purchase - dont try and scrimp on a case.....youll regret it after you drop your phone for the first time.

Having just had to replace my Samsung Galaxy S9+ after the screen smashed to bits from rather stupidly having no case and dropping it onto the pavement, I was looking for a robust but aesthetically pleasing case that didn't add too much bulk but provided good protection from drops and scrapes.I haven't used an Otterbox case before but had heard great things about them and really liked the look of this model in the 'Expresso' finish. I almost didn't buy it though as there seemed to be a fair few low-scoring reviews here on Amazon with complaints about the microphone. I then read through all the reviews very carefully and noticed that all of the low scoring reviews are for iPhone models andrelate mainly to the microphone being muffled/poor sound quality through the cases imposed restrictions, but the Samsung Galaxy versions all had positive reviews.This left me no reason not to try it and I couldn't be happier with my case for the Galaxy S9+. It fits perfectly, doesn't add much bulk or weight at all, it looks really good (much better than a lot of cheaper options I've seen on other peoples phones and has a professional feel and look to it which I was looking for), and most importantly it does seem offer great protection - I dropped my phone twice in quick succession in the park recently whilst stupidly trying to juggle two dogs, a child, my phone and an ice-cream and it doesn't have a scrape on it!Beyond this though I can't even really imagine dropping my phone outside of such silly occasions as above because now when just holding my phone (and not four other things at the same time) it now feels like it's part of me/stuck to my hand - the case provides a very natural, solid grip which makes it very difficult to drop.I've only had the case for two weeks but if the quality holds up over time (beyond expected wear and tear) then I'd have no reason to go elsewhere in the future if it ever needs to be replaced and would definitely recommend this as a great mid-range, quality phone cover for your Galaxy S9+ if you're looking for a case that looks the part but also offers good protection.

I spent a lot of time researching a wallet/folio case that would hold at least one bank card and offer good all round protection for the phone. The Strada certainly fits the bill. The phone fits tightly within a rugged polycarbonate shell with Themoplastic Elastomer (TPE) over mould. The sleep/wake and volume keys are protected by and operated through TPE buttons. The ring/silent switch, lightening connector, headset jack, camera lens and bottom microphone sit out of harms way behind recessed 3mm deep ports. Once fitted it's quite difficult to release the phone from the shell but, other than for a SIM change, I don't envisage a need to remove it very often.A book style genuine leather cover wraps around the shell and screen protector, the latter being reinforced with a rigid plastic stiffener. Inside the screen protector is lined with a soft microfibre and a neat vertical slot securely holds a card or note but nothing more. The slot is lined with an embossed polyester fabric to allow easy removal/insertion of a card. When closed the screen protector fits snugly over the screen and a concealed magnet closes against a polished metal inlay engraved with 'Otterbox' and built into the shell. When using the phone the screen protector can also be folded back behind the shell to neatly clip on to the other side of the metal inlay. Alternatively, once answered, a receiver/front microphone cutout in the screen protector allows the phone to be used with the case closed. The volume control can also be operated with the case closed as there are embossed buttons on spine of the leather cover which interface with the buttons on the shell. It's too early to tell how well the leather will wear, particularly around the magnetic latch, but all in all a well thought out case and highly recommended.

Lots to like with this case.The protective performance - the main thing - is excellent. The phone is safely encased in a thick all-edge rubber bumper, and slightly recessed into the case. I was concerned that the ridge at the bottom of the phone would impact on the "swipe up" gesture that's essential on the XS, but in use it doesn't have a negative effect. The protection is delivered without adding too much bulk to the phone - it's certainly not an overly-aggressive case that disguises the phone's look.Lightning port, speakers and mute switch have physical cut-outs, while the on/off and volume buttons have moulded overlays, and they all work nicely in the case.Materials seem good.The leather does initially feel slightly plasticky, but it bodes well for delivering long-term usage without degrading.One star lost for a couple of drawbacks that may well just be personal to me and my usage;The fact it can only hold one card is a real drawback for me, and feels like an unnecessary limitation considering the space that's available.It doesn't have any capability to act as a kickstand for watching videos, something that I do daily, and needs to be propped up against something. Again I think this is an unnecessary omission really.So lots of good stuff and a couple of frustrating things that may or may not be a problem depending on what you need/expect. This won't be taking top spot from my Snugg folio (which has three card holders, a cash section, and folds out to a stand - at less than half the price), but I'll certainly be using it on occasions where I need a bit more protection - something that it no doubt provides.

I was torn between this case and the Moshi-Sense Hardcover case but the Strada is a better case for numerous reasons. I really love my new case and think it looks smart. I cant really vouch for the drop protection and i am hoping i never have to find out if this case will save it from a great height but it dose seem to be well crafted and robust. The magnet works well and you know that it is going to stay closed. Unfortunately you cant get access to the mute button unless you open the case but i personally don't find this to be an issue. I did have to bend the cover backwards several times to soften the leather so that the cover sits better when holding it for a call but i am sure the leather will soften more over time.It took me along time to choose a case and i must have looked at fifty or sixty different ones before choosing the OtterBox Strada. I couldn't be happier and i am glad i chose this one. Some people will say you can only fit one card in the slot and it dose not support itself like an ipad case dose when open to watch movies etc and i do agree its a shame but a lot of these improvements have been brought to the iphone 6s plus Strada case and hopefully over time they will find a way to bring these improvements to the 6s case and others too. Its a wonderful case and i couldn't recommend it highly enough. Hope this helps people in making a decision. It works well with the JETech Tempered Glass Screen protector too which was extremely easy to apply and with no bubbles. The glass dose not go all the way to the edges but thats because the new iphones taper at the edge. Thanks. C

I've had this fitted some time now, so this is a long term review.The case fits perfectly and offers 100% protection to the phones edges, with the obvious exception of the socket cut outs. This is important to me, I am sad enough that I don't want the sides scratched by coming into contact with keys or coins in my pocket. I was surprised how many more expensive cases do not offer similar protection (including Samsung's own case).It grips very firmly and is very robust. I have dropped the phone twice from waist height and the phone and case sustained no damage at all, so it's already proved it's worth.It does affect the screen protector. I bought a relatively expensive glass protector,and the sides lifted when I installed the phone in the case. This is a known issue with Edge phones, indeed some screen protector sellers make a point of warning against this. It was liveable with, as the case offers full protection anyway, so I left it for 3 months until dirt started to collect on the exposed rear of it. I then fitted a Klearlook item available on Amazon which fitted with no problems.What did impress me when I removed the phone was there was absolutely no dirt between it and the case, proving that the case provides a total seal. In the past other cases have caused scratches on the rear of my phones by allowing dirt between the two which then rubs against he phone. No issues here.All in all I would definitely recommend the case, and would like to buy from this manufacturer when I next change my handset. Fully deserving of 5 stars.

Deserves five stars, a genuinely good case IMHO. I'm a bit of a veteran on the buying wallet type cases for the iPhone 6, this OtterBox is my fourth different case since getting my new 6 last year. Two went back to Amazon pretty quickly (Great Shield and Torro) one after the other because of the camera cut outs on both cases, they were both too small/deep causing flare from the flash and washed out pictures (you'd think designers would pick this up) The third case was good and lasted for eight months, it had been okay with numerous light drops but the plastic phone holder part cracked in several places after a heavier drop onto a hard floor from waist height. Fair enough,the case did it's job and at £7.99 I'm not complaining. I bought this case because of the straight five star reviews and OtterBox's reputation for tough phone cases, I'm not disappointed. It's very well made with a real quality feel, has a chunky all round non brittle holder for the phone to sit in, and the camera/flash cut out causes no obstruction, also, although not described as a wallet case there is a pocket inside the front cover with room enough for a bank card and some paper money. The magnetic catch works well and is quite firm, it will also hold the cover behind the phone for clear access to the screen. Some might think that £24.18 is a little pricey, but with the current minimum replacement cost for an iPhone 6 (16GB) being £539 and £80 - £100 to replace a shattered screen, I think it's money well spent, as this case must be one of the best out there.

After finally killing of my i5 though using and abusing the boss finally let me upgrade with a dire warning not to trash this so though i'd best get a case with decent impact protection. I didn't however want to carry a rucksack just for my phone and wanted something a bit more stylish. The perfect solution was the Otterbox Strada. Otterbox build and impact protection while looking good. I'll admit at first the case feels strange in the hand as the 'cradle' for the phone is made of plastic to provide the necessary impact protection but it then does have a leather panel on the back and the cover and hinge are all leather albeit a more hard wearing/harder then you might expect from the usual leather cases.(My friend has had 2 belkin cases like this that have worn in weeks however so think this is a better trade off) The phone 'snaps' into place very reassuringly with full access to all the buttons and with the cover closed you can still use the volume up/down keys.As an added benefit of this case (intentional or not) the cover is very rigid so when closed it provides impact protection for the screen as the cover actually sits clear of the glass by a good few mm. Would highly recommend, although it is worth noting that a single card OR a few notes can be carried in the sleeve anything more causes the cover to push against the screen and the magnet won't hold it closed.
