Reviews for ADOPTED Leather Wrap Case for iPhone 5

I must say this is the first real phone case that I will love to keep. Personally, I feel cases take the shine off iphones and make them look ordinary, but this is one case I'd like to have. It feels very comfortable and classy. It's pricy though, but who says iphone accessories are cheap?

I decided to retire my old plastic case and upgrade to something more stylish. Even though it's leather, this case is just as sleek and light as a simple plastic case. I drop my phone at least once a day, and the case has protected my phone just fine.

I do like the look and feel of this case and would give it 3 1/2 stars if I could but there are some limitations to the case as a whole. First the price is kind of startling, if it was 35.99 I would be inclined to recommend it to more people. Additionally, as the other review noted during my time owning the phone I recognize its protection flaws. It will protect against most major scratches and normal wear, but it does lack some of the protection of the other cases (I assume mostly to keep its slim size). I also wish that they would have done a matte finish on the inside of the case, although you never see it when I snap the phone in and out (rarely) the gloss finish seems to scuff up around the corners of the inside, something I think would be muted with a matte finish. All in all this case has potential, and likely because the company is so new it is initially over priced and inherently must work out the kinks. I hope to see other versions down the road and will not exclude ADOPTED in the future as I see it has promise.

This really can't be called a "case". It is merely a thin, silver colored, plastic snap in cover with leather strips attached to the back and sides. I wanted to like this case but when I actually put it on my iPhone, I felt like the victim of a scam. For this 75 cent piece of plastic and leather to cost $50 is ridiculous bordering on criminal. A phone case is supposed to look nice and PROTECT the phone. If you dropped your phone (and you will), this will do nothing to preserve it. Also, the leather is very slippery and therefore slips out of your hand easily. I returned it today.
