High Quality & High Value Review by Tom Claudy

First, let me say this is the 2nd i-carer iPhone 5 Flip Case I've ordered.
I prefer Flip Cases because the cover protects the screen, making the use of screen protectors unnecessary. With Flip Cases, after 5 phones, I've never damaged a display.
This particular I-carer Flip Case fits perfectly, protects the phone all around, uses a secure magnetic closure, has a nicely textured leather outer surface and soft interior. Plus it is very robust.
As downsides I've found, this robustness does carry a weight penalty somewhat detracting from the iPhone 5's lighter weight. Also the stiffness of the material does not encourage folding the cover back, which I like to do. But I'm confident this is just a breaking in issue.
Again, on balance I'm very satisfied with this case, which led me to now purchase a second one as a gift for a friend with a new iPhone 5.
Finally, it doesn't have the suppleness of a Vaja case, but at 30% of the cost, it's price performance is hard to beat! (Posted on 1/24/13)

I went through a few non-flip cases which were ok but I wasn't happy with the screen protectors nor did I really feel the phone was safe, especially in a pocket with other items or a car key. I can understand that some people feel that a flip case is too much hassle to open but it works for me. If you know you want a flip case this is a good minimalist choice. The case is very thin so it takes up very little extra space (important to me) but you need to realize it isn't going to protect as well as a thicker case if you drop the phone on a hard surface. If you dropped it from hand height on concrete I'd imagine damage would be a strong possibility; however, I'd take it by a long shot over nothing. For this case your priority should be to avoid scratching and small bumps...it does this well. The leather is stiff for its thickness which is good because it's more like a normal thin case. The flip cover will fold all the way backward if you don't like it hanging (but I'd wonder if constant use like that might wear the leather hinge-flap...it's just a piece of softer leather). Other good points are that the case does not cover the speakers or controls. The camera opening is there and looks ok but I haven't used it yet so cannot comment on any subtle issues. The leather seems like good quality but isn't up to, say, the higher-end thicker cover I have on my ipad -- by that I mean the luster is a bit lower compared to really nice expensive leather...however this case is [and needs to be] a stiffer leather so that may be why. It just doesn't reek of high quality leather if that's what you want but most if not all cases like that tend to be much thicker. The latch mechanism is pretty good -- easy to open and it stays put (could be a wear point but so far so good). Due to the softer leather hinge the cover can slide very slightly from side to side if you push it but it doesn't seem to harm anything and it doesn't move enough to expose the display at all. Overall I'm very happy with the case and I think you would be hard pressed to find a leather flip case this thin that is nicer. (Posted on 1/21/13)

I love this case. I wanted a leather case that covered the entire phone. Its made well and looks expensive. I want the wine red cover also. (Posted on 1/21/13)
