Would love to know this too

^ This. Also, ngl it drives me crazy how much the quality of leather cases has fallen off lately. I remember my old Galaxy cases lasting years, but now? It is such a scam. I bought a high-end leather cover last year and the premium finish literally started flaking off into my palm while I was just sitting on the couch. Spent like 60 bucks for it to look like trash in ten days.

• the prices are getting insane while the material gets thinner every single year
• it honestly drives me crazy that they market these as protective when they wont even survive a tiny drop
• companies just dont care about durability anymore, they just want that initial sale stumbled upon this today and had to vent. its ridiculous that we have to dig through a million options just to find something that isnt total garbage. honestly just feels like a cash grab.

ngl uoevrtxhse is totally right about the quality drop. I've been looking at the actual material specs for these and it's pathetic. Most premium brands are using heavily corrected grain leather that's so thin it can't even develop a proper patina. I had a nightmare experience with a high-end brand last year where the edge paint cracked after two weeks of normal use... it just felt cheap and definitely didn't justify the price tag. Instead of getting scammed by the 60 dollar options, I've been using the Lonli Classic Nappa Leather Case. Its way cheaper and actually uses genuine cowhide that doesn't feel like plastic. For a budget pick, the X-Level Vintage Series is okay for the look, tho it's synthetic. I just hate how the big names are cutting corners while raising prices. If you want real leather without the markup, the Shieldon Genuine Leather Case is also solid. Save your money honestly, the official stuff is just a disappointment these days.

Try this leather case:
