I gave this Father's Day get (with us on 10/10). Alone the package already is very chic. The product is therefore very useful as a gift. The Flipcover itself (brown version) is very well made: - It protects all around my cell phone - even at the edges. - No production stitching, glue residues or inaccuracies. - No plastic visible. - Very handy, slim, fits comfortably in your hand. - All makes a very classy impression. - To me it smells like leather, but only subtly. Only the inside of which is resting on the glass (clean) glued, which can fray over time at the edges, but I had with all other (more expensive) Flipcases also. To charge you just have to fold back the tab, thus it is at an angle, and is easier to read, during transport, the contacts remain protected. For me, more of a benefit. 5 x yes! Strong buy recommendation.
