I own the I Phone 5 in white. Even if it is a black leather sheath provides the white / silver I Phone very good in it. Visually My Phone is thus protected very nice front and back. The only shortcoming is the "Side Impact Protection". Unfortunately, during a fall, the side edge of my phones is scratched and has an unsightly dent. Although it is small and only I see it, but it is now times since. With a bumper that possibly would not have happened. To hold the contrary, however, is that generally get minor scratches in a Car by dust and dirt, the edges and the back. It is therefore VLT. a disadvantage is that the site is generally not protected, but they have other cases to other shortcomings. For me no reason to deduct a star. Compromises you have to make all, and as I said optically makes the shell forth a lot.
The closure of the processing is also neat. By a magnet closes the shell and can be easily re-open. The lower "jacks" have Außsparungen for headphones and charging cable. Thus the device can be loaded and you can simultaneously listen to music through external speakers / headphones with it, and the machine is still protected. Needless to say, the camera is also recessed.
The seams are neat and look good. The plastic cup is clean glued to the leather case. Even after repeated remove the phone the bonding has no marks or signs of fatigue.
I am completely satisfied with the shell. Who cares that the page is less protected, which I would reply that at a Bumper often scratch the side panels and the rear by dirt and dust and thus over time the I Phone also gets scratches.
For me, the Leather Folio combines a reasonable level of protection, protects the glass surface and looks very classy. For a high-quality piece of technology, a high-quality cover for narrow money.
