Belemay Crazy Horse Leather Case for iPhone 15, Compatible with MagSafe | Waxed Pull-Up Cowhide, Full-Grain Leather, Unique Patina, Warm Touch, Metal Buttons & Raised Camera Bezel, Vintage Brown

SIX-MONTH FOLLOW UP: I'm very glad I bought this case over a plastic or silicone one. First of all, the fit is snug and precise. In fact, I hope I never have to take my phone out of this case, because I don't think I could do so without doing damage to it or the phone (HYPERBOLE - while it IS hard to get out of the case, and it feels like you're going to need to get medieval, it eventually comes off. I just hope I don't have to do it too often. I'm usually not a fan of having to use the buttons that are integrated into a case, because they make the buttons harder to press, IMO. The buttons of this case are hard plastic or metal (I'm not sure which). I've had the case for ~ 6 months and the buttons feel just like the iPhone's real buttons. I have stiff, arthritic and "slippery" fingers, and find it very hard to pick up small objects or flat objects like a mobile phone. With the Apple leather case I had for my previous phone, the edges were rounded-off (because the phone's edges were rounded-off). I sometimes had trouble picking the phone up. I even tried to rough-up the leather on the sides, to make it easier to grip. All that did was make it look scraped-up. This case has a suede-like finish, which also makes it easier and safer to handle. The leather seems to be of a good quality. I wasn't happy with how "lightly colored" it was, at first, but figured it would darken over time, without my having to do anything, and it has. It reminds me of an old baseball glove I used to have. I had to oil the heck out of it to soften the leather so my weak little hands could make it close. That old glove took on a beautiful, deep brown color, and that's what's happening to this case, even without slopping glove oil all over it. Since the leather isn't slick, it doesn't seem to slip out of my back pocket as easily as some cases I've had. I'm going to get a "Mag-Safe" bedside stand, so it'll be a test of whether the phone will be able to charge. So, if you have arthritic or slippery fingers and normally hate the side buttons on phone cases, but you like the feel of soft leather in a (very) snuggly-fitting case, this would be a good choice. I'm not easily impressed with phone cases, but this one is an easy 5-Star rating. 12-Month Follow-Up The buttons I mentioned in my 6-month follow-up ARE metal, not plastic. I got a Mag-Safe charger by Anker and use the Standby function in the phone to use my phone as a bedside clock/alarm. The magnet in the charger holds on well to this case, even though it is fairly thick leather. After almost a year of taking my phone out and putting it back in for various reasons, this case is finally being retired. See the photos. The place it broke has always been the weak spot in the case, I knew that WHEN the case "passed-on", that's what would happen. But every case I've ever bought has a weak spot. Now, 11 months might not seem very long for a phone case, but the case still looks very good. The leather has turned a deeper brown/tan color and any scratches I've put on it disappear like magic. One time, I fixed a scratch using the oils from my face. Sounds gross, but it worked. I just ordered a new case from this company and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. FOLLOW-UP to the 12-month follow-up for my old brown Belemay case. I just got my new Belemay case today and wanted to give it a different review, but Amazon won’t let me. So I’ll just append it to this 6-month review. I assume it will be just like my old one, but in a different color. I got it in what I thought was a dark gray, but it’s more black than I thought it would be. It came in a (totally un-reusable but very nice) little box, wrapped in a soft-ish fabric bag. Curiously, the box also contained a 1” square piece of either the same type of leather as the case, or some other similar material. That piece was in its own plastic bag, which measured 2¼ by 1½”, that even had a zip-lock-type closure. I have no idea what it IS much less what its function would be. But I figure there must be a good reason the manufacturer spent the money to include it with the case. If anybody figures it out, please let me know. Bottom line is that I really like this case and have NO concerns about recommending it to anyone who likes an “upscale-looking” leather case that fits the iPhone snugly and perfectly. Even though it may seem pricey, my first one lasted thru 12 months of use. It’s not slippery and helps people who have arthritis pick it up easier. Did I mention previously that the square bezel that surrounds the rear camera lenses is made of metal, and is raised just enough to protect your lenses from the scratches they would probably get otherwise. Great case.

If you're looking for a good looking, well fitting, and nice smelling leather case for your iphone, this one is hard to beat. This case fits my 15 pro max well- it gives a nice *snap* sound when you put it in, and there is little to no give along the sides once it's on, so you don't have to worry about the phone falling out during normal height drops. The buttons are metal and clicky, and stick out enough so they're easy to use without looking. There's enough of a lip on the face and around the camera's that none of your phone will be touching the surface you lay this down on. The cables I have plug in without a problem, and the cut outs for the speakers are great. And the magnets on the back are nice and strong- it has zero problems staying on my magnetic car vent mount all the time. The only thing I would change would be to have a slightly darker brown color available, but I'm sure that will come when the patina starts to happen. Oh, and the leather is smooth, but not like other cases where it's like the have a thin layer of oil or plastic on them, so it's not slippery. It's actually quite grippy for a leather case, which I really like. Best of all, it actually smells like leather. I bought 2 other top rated cases based on reviews on youtube where those were supposed to smell soooo much like leather, but neither did. (I'm lookin at you, Andar and Bullstrap.) So don't bother wasting your money on those IF you want a 15 pro max case that actually smells like leather. Get this one, and save some money. EDIT- I did find one of my USB-C cable heads to be too big to fit into this case, but it was an older cable, and the newer ones I got on Amazon do fit ok.

Let's start with a little game of "Guess the Quality." Is it: A) Top-notch, genuine leather that would make someone proud? B) A close relative of the leather used in luxury handbags and Italian shoes? C) A sad, wrinkly piece of plastic masquerading as leather, with all the durability of a wet paper bag? If you guessed C, you're a winner! (In the "I've been scammed" category, but still.) The case arrived looking fine. However after a few trips to the floor that gashed the case, and the "leather" developing more bubbles than a toddler's bath. But hey, maybe it was just a bad batch, right? Wrong. The seller, ever the optimist, offered a replacement. "Surely this one will be different!" I thought, as I eagerly opened the package like a kid on Christmas morning. But alas, it was the same sad story, with the added bonus of a new gash from the latest floor-fall. In the end, I decided to give the case a proper burial in the trash can, where it belongs. If you're looking for a case that will make you laugh (at its expense), this is the one for you. But if you want something that will actually protect your phone, you might want to keep looking.

It’s actually surprisingly resistant considering it’s leather, if you want something that looks good and feels good in your hands this is it. But if you use your phone outside a lot, drop it often, or leave it out in the heat a lot then the leather will suffer a little.

Writing this review 8 months later. This is by far my favorite case. I switch cases often, but always come back to this one! I’ve had no issues with the quality of this case, and I absolutely love the look and feel! It protects my phone during accidental drops. It’s super lightweight. Works great with MagSafe as well! I’m definitely shopping with this brand again when it’s time to upgrade!

This case is definitely worth the money! Much better than cheap cases, very good quality. Should have gotten a case like this a long time ago, I also like the fact that it is not bulky.

Honestly it looks really nice on the back, but after a few weeks the front/sides of mine are falling apart. The leather on the left side slightly above the action button looks like it is disintegrating, not sure if the leather is dry in that section, because I very rarely touch that part of the case so I don’t believe it’s wear and tear. There are many other small areas around the edges that the leather seems to be wearing rapidly, so I won’t be keeping it. For reference, I don’t do anything crazy, I have an office job and this sits on my desk or my nightstand at home for 80% of the day.

Case fits well on my iPhone 15 pro max. MagSafe chargers fit well and stay connected through the phone case. Most importantly, I’ve been looking for a case that supports wireless charging from my vehicle. Other cases either had interference from the magnets inside the case or simply sat to far away from the wireless charging pad. Turns out that this case does not have either of those issues. As soon as I placed my phone with this case on the cars charging pad, it began charging immediately. I did not have to reposition my phone to try and make it work. I am not being paid for this review and reflects my experience with this product. Update: my test was not conducted long enough. Turns out wireless charging did not work with this case. Time to look for a new one.

Esta es mucho mejor funda que la de Apple! Se siente la calidad extraordinaria! Si es 100% de piel! Se siente al tacto y el olor original a piel! Cómprenla! No se van a arrepentir! Mi funda favorita!!!

iPhone15ProMax用に購入 良い点 ・レザーの風合いは最高 ・耐久性あり(使用開始から半年経過しますが特に問題ありません。ちゃんと純正ケースのように巻き込んであるのでレザーが剥がれるなどはありません) ・汚れにくい(iPhone純正レザーケースであった黒ずみ汚れは比較的少ないです。色合い的に目立ちにくいだけかも知れませんが特に気になりません。) ・MagSafe対応(ちゃんと使えます。) 悪い点 ・分厚く重い(レザーケースなのである程度はしょうがないですが、せっかく軽くなった15シリーズのチタンボディが台無しです。) ・良くも悪くも傷つきやすい。(ちょっとぶつかったり、爪でなぞっただけで簡単に傷が入ります。が、時間経過ですぐ馴染むので自分は気になってはいないです。) 発売元に注意！ トラブルになってる方もいるようですが、購入前に出品者を確認してください。 中国発は避けた方が無難です。 当方はイタリア発を購入しました。注文から2週間ほどで問題なく届きました。 基本は海外発送になると思うので、外箱のボコボコ具合はご愛嬌です。

It is a shame that Apple doesn’t sell leather cases anymore. Their misguided “green” concept doesn’t really help anyone. Their world kills many cows for food. Why not use the hides to make useful cases? I bought a “neoprene” case that split in weeks, then I bought this excellent case. Yes, it gets scratched up, yes, it shows a bit of patina, but I’ve dropped the phone and the corners still held up. The case is easy to hold and I actually like the aged look it has achieved. I’d buy this again for my next phone.

Well made and looks beautiful on my 15pro black.

Me encantó, piel de excelente calidad , la dureza y firmeza al colocarlo permite proteger al iPhone muy bien !!! Ojalá hubiese en color negro y también lo compraría
