I bought this case after I read this review, and couldn't be happier. The Trend-head, Metro, Hipster crowd may hate the look, but the case does a great job of protecting phone while maintaining a little of the much-preached individuality amongst all the "different" cases on the market.

The quality of the leather is suprisingly good. I have had mine for several months and, like a good leather product should, it has formed to the phone nicely.

The only negative I can offer is that the "siding" could have been made to fit a little tighter as it loosens up a bit over time.

Did Belkin miss the market? Absolutely...and I couldn't be happier.

@LOL Lawrence

I mention in my review I am not a big fan of these types of cases, however it is a functional case and does protect your iPhone. I have a friend that absolutely loves this case because it is not the “typical” case and like leather. Remember, if we all liked the same things, the world would be a very boring place!

BTW, Belkin did not pay me. However, if you know someone there that can cut me a check, that would be great

How much did belkin PAY you to hype this? Omg I am NEVER trusting your reviews AGAIN. YOU’RE just in it for the money. Some poor innoccent soul will dump money the worst case I have ever seen. So ugly, I know your review is a fake, and that belkin got dooped internally. LOL.

So who decided that a leather case is more “eco-friendly” than plastic? Yes, plastic is made from oil, and is not very biodegradable… But then again, cows emit an enormous amount of greenhouse gases. I’m not saying that using leather makes you evil – I have a leather iPhone case myself (no, not this ugly one). But which case is the most eco-friendly is a tricky question.

Jeez that’s fugly!!!! Why would anyone in their right mind put this pos on an iPhone???? IMHO the casemate premium signature is the best leather case around.

Good god that thing is butt-ugly! And ill-fitting too. Look how the aperture around the connector port gapes open. If the iPhone needs a case at all, something I’m not at all convinced of, it should be of the thinest, finest glove leather in order to add the absolute minimum of bulk.

I have an old leather shoe with holes in the sole. I bet it will protect an iPhone really well. Wow! What a great product concept! I'll scavenge shoes the donations shops refused and start converting them now. That's pretty eco-conscious, isn't it?

I'll call it ShoePhone.com

This is a joke. THE ugliest, tackiest case(?) I have ever seen for the Iphone. Goodluck trying to sell that Belkin. HaHaHa it is a joke, right!!?
