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.
