The processing of cases is as usual by Apple and at 40 also provided excellent. The shell is made of pleasant, fine leather that is characterized by a special coloring black throughout, making it to keep the color even when signs of wear. All recesses (mute switch, headphone output, speaker output, Lightning connector, camera) are cut with millimeter precision, highlight the precision stampings for the holes of the speaker. No fringes, no seams, no. On the back of the Apple logo is easily punched, but it is so inconspicuous that it is easy to overlook (I see this as an advantage understatement).
The iPhone fits perfectly naturally in the shell, it just sits like a glove. Unlike other reviewers I have the Sleep button press not particularly strong - all covered buttons (volume up / down and the Sleep button) can express themselves pleasantly light and still have a good pressure point.
The edges of the case extend beyond the screen to 0.5 to 1 mm, thus you can be smart and put problems with the display downwards on the table, without having to fear a scratch screen.
Once you put the iPhone into the case it feels thus heavier, wider or more cumbersome to no whit. On the contrary, I think it is the case even better in your hand, something like an iPhone 5c. Also design-wise nothing is lost (unlike the many cheap cases) Genuine Case - whether front or back, the phone still looks stunning.
Disadvantages so far I could find a few:
Of course, the display is not protected by the shell. Here you have to either install a screen protector or watch a little more on his cell phone. Personally, I use no film and never stick bowl and iPhone in the same bag - so far the screen still looks like on the first day.
A second minor complaint is dust that settles on all openings. If you have the phone in your pocket is often the camera and headphone port quickly very dusty and sometimes needs to be cleaned.
Conclusion: To 40 you get a tailor-made, high-quality case made of the same design "forged" as the iPhone 5 (s). Whether these are justified 40 must each decide for themselves. I personal have with this case found the perfect one for me to Suncase- and KAVAJ cases.
Edit: I've now used the case a few months. Although it had to take some minor scratches sees it still excellent and is by and stayed with black - the "continuous" coloration becomes apparent. However, this seems to be an advantage of black cases, the blue Case of a friend, it is already too strong discoloration / signs of wear at the edges.
