Besides, leather is a high-quality material resistant to water and stains, making it ideal for protecting your phone from the elements. By its color and creation, handmade leather phone cases look genuinely sophisticated.

What is leather Patina or leather discoloration?

Leather Patina or leather discoloration is a process where leather changes its appearance due to passage of time. This appearance changing process occurs due to the leather object being exposed to suns rays and oxygen causing it to age naturally and take a darker more beautiful form.

or the natural aging process of leather.

Patina is formed when the leather is exposed to oxygen, heat, the Suns' radiation and water. Oxygen causes leather to oxidize, heat causes the pores of leather to open, Suns' rays cause leather to discolor and moisture causes leather to swell. As the leather swells, the patina is pushed to the surface. The matte finish serves as a protective layer for the leather. It helps to prevent the leather from drying out and cracking. The patina also gives the leather a unique appearance that is different from other materials.

Leather with a developed patina is often used in high-end products, such as furniture, clothing, fashion accessories, and our leather phone cases. The patina gives the leather a luxurious look and feel. Leather with a patina is also very durable and will last for many years with proper care. The leather is treated with oils and dyes that give it a deep, rich color, and the surface is often left with a soft, velvety feel.

So leather is the way to go if you're looking for a phone case that will make your phone look great and last a long time. Keep reading to learn more about leather fabrics and their importance in a sustainable world environment.

What Should You Consider When Buying A Leather Phone Case

When buying a leather phone case, consider the type of phone you have, whether you have a Samsung S20 or perhaps an iPhone 12 Pro Max - depending on the model of the device should your phone case choice vary. After that, consider the level of protection you need, if you require the mobile phone case to have special features like a back strap, a card holder slot or if it needs to be extra waterproof, depending of course on your activities.

Finally consider your aesthetic style preferences that are the most important factors in your selection. You should also check the quality of the leather and stitching, as well as the overall design of the case. Additionally, it is important to make sure that the case will fit your phone properly and that there are cutouts for all of the phone's functions.

Of all the case form factors out there, wallet cases are among the most unique and functional.

Wallet cases have been around since the early 2010s, ranging from simple affairs that use adhesive to stick to the back of a device, to fully-featured protective cases that serve many purposes

There’s a wide range of styles that could all be called wallet cases. Each phone case maker has their take on how a wallet case should look, feel, and function. Some use a band of fabric that snugly holds cards and cash. Others are more complex, employing folding panels and locking mechanisms.

Whatever the style, there’s no denying the benefits of a wallet case. But, humor us here, don’t purchase that cool case you’ve had your eye on yet.

There are a few hidden negative sides to wallet cases too. It's up to you, discerning consumers, to decide the pros and cons of a wallet phone case.

Should You Get a Wallet Phone Case?

Pros of a Wallet Phone Case

Here’s a challenge: find someone who’s never left their phone or wallet at home, at work, or sitting amongst the tortilla crumbs after leaving Chipotle.

A wallet phone consolidates the stuff you’re carrying, which can be a huge benefit whether you’re a purse-carrier, pocket-user, or fanny pack-wearer.

Having fewer individual items to carry minimizes the chance you’ll forget anything because it’s altogether. If you’ve got your phone, you’ve got your ID. If you’ve got your Amex card, you’ve got your phone. Simplicity at its finest.

Here’s another benefit to carrying a wallet case: the added bulk from the wallet element, plus that stack of credit cards adds protection for your phone. In the event of a drop, it could be that additional shock-absorbing mass makes the difference between a cracked screen and a consequence-free drop

The front flap of wallet phone cases is multi-functional. Manu phone case manufacturers design the front flap to protect the screen, and store cards and cash.

This style of wallet case tops the list of contenders if you’re considering one. However, let’s consider the negative side to a wallet case before making any final judgments.

Cons of a Wallet Phone Case

So, we’ve already discussed how handy a wallet phone case can be by consolidating all your daily items into one convenient item. However, what are you to do if that one item goes missing?

If someone steals your phone, they’ll have access to your Facebook, call log, credit cards, and more. This could mean trouble, all because you had all your important information, conveniently packed together for a thief to snatch up.

A running theme of wallet cases seems to be that their positive sides also become their negative sides

Remember a few paragraphs ago when we were talking about the added drop protection offered by the added bulk of a wallet case? Well, that added bulk also adds—added bulk.

You may have trouble fitting a wallet case into your pocket or purse comfortably.

Additionally, the fun and convenience of everyday phone usage may be sapped by the need to tote around and grip the beefy monstrosity that is your iPhone X.

Finally, if you’re someone who likes to use Apple Pay, Google Wallet, or other NFC functions of your device, those features may be hampered by a wallet case, which may block the sensors used by those applications

Ironic, isn’t it? Sorry, you can’t use Google Wallet because of the wallet on your phone.
