Looking for a stylish case for my iPhone I found after quite a short search on the BookBook. I like the contrast between modern smartphone and this old "Notitzbuch". Such cases are often cumbersome and at this high price you should consider the purchase twice. On eBay there is the shell sometimes very cheap. Reason enough for me to pursue the matter. And indeed I have found on the Internet a page that compares the original with a plagiarism. So here caution. The apparent bargains could prove to be a brazen forgery. But since this copy even the packaging etc. to the last detail you can see the difference immediately. Evidence of a counterfeit product are not genuine leather, embossed holes instead of the volume controls. There may be even more faithful fakes now. Only for security reasons I have therefore decided on a delivery through Amazon. I was not disappointed. The product is very well made and meets my requirements. The iPhone 4s is located very accurately. Everything is easily accessible, in theory you would have the iPhone no longer at exit. Only of course to take pictures as a recess on the back is missing. I knew that but before and for photo tours I have my DSLR. For a snapshot of the phone turns but also push out quickly. Top open the tab and push from below. Even when you plug in your pocket there are no problems. The iPhone is indeed thick, but still perfectly fine. Only women should perhaps rather resort to the handbag. As far as the BookBook is therefore Alltagstauglich. Protect should cover in case of a fall also, unless they would awkwardly open and prevents the display suffers damage. Safer than other cases but this is all, because they just covered all around the iPhone. The leather is very stable, yet still very soft. It feels good and smells pleasant. As far as I was therefore really satisfied.
After a short time I noticed, however, that the display during the call often not ausschaltete, which meant that you caused unintentionally by ear on controls. The automatic screen brightness had faults. Siri, which actually starts when lifting his ear, this function also verwährte. Here well-hidden part of the leather trim the sensor. This issue had also other Amazon customers, but not all. The obvious conclusion: either it is due to different versions of iPhone (4 / 4s), or there are minor differences in the processing of the envelope. Then I ordered a second envelope and lo and behold: the screen switches off automatically Siri work right away. For those who have this problem is probably just a new shell in question. Visually, both cases differ by the way clearly. The color of the reader is minimal different and the spine is very different "worn out". Thus, each piece is unique, which I personally find very appealing.
Conclusion: Great product, very good processing. Some models do not seem to quite fit. Caution: Many well-made counterfeits in circulation!
Conclusion in school grades:
Processing: 1 Optics: 1 Operation: 2 Protection: 2 Value for money: 3
