KORDIZ Impact Leather Case for iPhone 17 Air – Full-Grain Leather MagSafe Case with Camera Control Button – 360° Shockproof Bumper – Rugged Patina-Ready Protection – Slim Grip Cover (English Tan)

Excellent case that fits the iPhone perfectly.
As someone who usually goes for $5-10 phone cases, ordering one that was significantly more expensive had me wondering what you’re actually getting for that additional cost. But now that I’ve been using this case for a while, I can confidently say: I get it.Looks are subjective, of course, but this case looks phenomenal on the iPhone Air, and I can already tell that it’ll look better once the back leather starts to wear in.The inside of the case is also soft to the touch and should offer ample protection against fine dust, dirt, and grime getting into the case and wearing away at the phone. The outside of the case feels great in the hand and holds snugly onto the phone so you don’t get any of that weird give when gripping the edges of the case, like some less precisely manufactured cases are susceptible to.If I had any nitpicks, it would be that the side camera button is a bit easy to accidentally press with this case as it blends the button in with the edge of the case quite well, so it’s not as pronounced (and thus easy to avoid) as on some other cases. But that’s also likely a me-problem. Overall, I think this is a fantastic case and well worth the cost due to its quality.

Solid Drop Protection/Not Genuine Leather
iPhone Air cases need to offer great drop protection. Reason is that the Air is the lightest iPhone Apple has ever made. So for me, iPhone protection is the most important feature for a case.Kordiz advertises that their case has ‘TPE Protection.’ Most of us, (including myself) have no idea that that means. Thank God for research.TPE Protection stands for “hermoplastic elastomer, is a flexible and durable material used in iPhone cases that provides good protection against drops and impacts. It is known for its excellent resistance to oils, chemicals, and UV radiation, making it a popular choice for phone cases that need to be both protective and stylish”. Clear, concise and makes sense.Now as to is this really a leather case? Well the answer is no. It is an alternative to leather in products like artificial leather. So Hermoplastic is not genuine leather. And to be direct, the back of the case does not have the feel of leather.Based on my picture, you can see that the back of the base gives ample protection for camera based on its elevated ‘lip.’So I give four stars. If it was genuine leather, I would have offered 5 stars. But if hermoplastic is not an issue for you, this would be a very solid choice for an iPhone Air case.

Questionable quality
This phone case is handsome looking in its color and texture. It is extremely lightweight however and I question whether it is actually going to protect my phone. I’m not sure about the quality as it seems extremely thin and it looks like the leather part would scratch easily. It feels good in my hand and it isn’t slippery and it fits the phone nicely. However I think I would opt for a more sturdier case. I think this case is very high priced and would be able to get a better quality at a much lower price.
