Belemay Compatible with iPhone 15 Leather Case Magsafe - Top Grain Vintage Crazy Horse Leather - Metal Buttons & Camera Bezel Bump - Slim Fit & Soft Feel - Premium Phone Cover (6.1-inch) Retro Brown

SIX-MONTH FOLLOW UP: I'm very glad I bought this case over a plastic or silicone one. First of all, the fit is snug and precise. In fact, I hope I never have to take my phone out of this case, because I don't think I could do so without doing damage to it or the phone (HYPERBOLE - while it IS hard to get out of the case, and it feels like you're going to need to get medieval, it eventually comes off. I just hope I don't have to do it too often. I'm usually not a fan of having to use the buttons that are integrated into a case, because they make the buttons harder to press, IMO. The buttons of this case are hard plastic or metal (I'm not sure which). I've had the case for ~ 6 months and the buttons feel just like the iPhone's real buttons. I have stiff, arthritic and "slippery" fingers, and find it very hard to pick up small objects or flat objects like a mobile phone. With the Apple leather case I had for my previous phone, the edges were rounded-off (because the phone's edges were rounded-off). I sometimes had trouble picking the phone up. I even tried to rough-up the leather on the sides, to make it easier to grip. All that did was make it look scraped-up. This case has a suede-like finish, which also makes it easier and safer to handle. The leather seems to be of a good quality. I wasn't happy with how "lightly colored" it was, at first, but figured it would darken over time, without my having to do anything, and it has. It reminds me of an old baseball glove I used to have. I had to oil the heck out of it to soften the leather so my weak little hands could make it close. That old glove took on a beautiful, deep brown color, and that's what's happening to this case, even without slopping glove oil all over it. Since the leather isn't slick, it doesn't seem to slip out of my back pocket as easily as some cases I've had. I'm going to get a "Mag-Safe" bedside stand, so it'll be a test of whether the phone will be able to charge. So, if you have arthritic or slippery fingers and normally hate the side buttons on phone cases, but you like the feel of soft leather in a (very) snuggly-fitting case, this would be a good choice. I'm not easily impressed with phone cases, but this one is an easy 5-Star rating. 12-Month Follow-Up The buttons I mentioned in my 6-month follow-up ARE metal, not plastic. I got a Mag-Safe charger by Anker and use the Standby function in the phone to use my phone as a bedside clock/alarm. The magnet in the charger holds on well to this case, even though it is fairly thick leather. After almost a year of taking my phone out and putting it back in for various reasons, this case is finally being retired. See the photos. The place it broke has always been the weak spot in the case, I knew that WHEN the case "passed-on", that's what would happen. But every case I've ever bought has a weak spot. Now, 11 months might not seem very long for a phone case, but the case still looks very good. The leather has turned a deeper brown/tan color and any scratches I've put on it disappear like magic. One time, I fixed a scratch using the oils from my face. Sounds gross, but it worked. I just ordered a new case from this company and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. FOLLOW-UP to the 12-month follow-up for my old brown Belemay case. I just got my new Belemay case today and wanted to give it a different review, but Amazon won’t let me. So I’ll just append it to this 6-month review. I assume it will be just like my old one, but in a different color. I got it in what I thought was a dark gray, but it’s more black than I thought it would be. It came in a (totally un-reusable but very nice) little box, wrapped in a soft-ish fabric bag. Curiously, the box also contained a 1” square piece of either the same type of leather as the case, or some other similar material. That piece was in its own plastic bag, which measured 2¼ by 1½”, that even had a zip-lock-type closure. I have no idea what it IS much less what its function would be. But I figure there must be a good reason the manufacturer spent the money to include it with the case. If anybody figures it out, please let me know. Bottom line is that I really like this case and have NO concerns about recommending it to anyone who likes an “upscale-looking” leather case that fits the iPhone snugly and perfectly. Even though it may seem pricey, my first one lasted thru 12 months of use. It’s not slippery and helps people who have arthritis pick it up easier. Did I mention previously that the square bezel that surrounds the rear camera lenses is made of metal, and is raised just enough to protect your lenses from the scratches they would probably get otherwise. Great case.

If you're looking for a good looking, well fitting, and nice smelling leather case for your iphone, this one is hard to beat. This case fits my 15 pro max well- it gives a nice *snap* sound when you put it in, and there is little to no give along the sides once it's on, so you don't have to worry about the phone falling out during normal height drops. The buttons are metal and clicky, and stick out enough so they're easy to use without looking. There's enough of a lip on the face and around the camera's that none of your phone will be touching the surface you lay this down on. The cables I have plug in without a problem, and the cut outs for the speakers are great. And the magnets on the back are nice and strong- it has zero problems staying on my magnetic car vent mount all the time. The only thing I would change would be to have a slightly darker brown color available, but I'm sure that will come when the patina starts to happen. Oh, and the leather is smooth, but not like other cases where it's like the have a thin layer of oil or plastic on them, so it's not slippery. It's actually quite grippy for a leather case, which I really like. Best of all, it actually smells like leather. I bought 2 other top rated cases based on reviews on youtube where those were supposed to smell soooo much like leather, but neither did. (I'm lookin at you, Andar and Bullstrap.) So don't bother wasting your money on those IF you want a 15 pro max case that actually smells like leather. Get this one, and save some money. EDIT- I did find one of my USB-C cable heads to be too big to fit into this case, but it was an older cable, and the newer ones I got on Amazon do fit ok.

It is what it is, but it does the job. I like the soft smooth feel of the leather as opposed to a plastic case, and the Magsafe works perfect through it. I did notice it tends to wear very easily and if it is scratched, you will see it very obvious at first, but then it will fade nicely. I think it adds to the charm of the case, I like the worn and weather beaten look, but if you're someone who prefers something pristine and without blemish, you may want to pass on this one.

I particularly appreciate the attention to detail, such as the metal buttons and camera bezel, which add a touch of sophistication to the case. Despite its slim fit design, the case provides reliable protection against daily wear and tear. Overall, the Belemay Leather Case is a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their iPhone 15 Pro Max experience. Its precision craftsmanship and premium materials make it a worthy investment for long-term use. Plus, the retro brown color adds a touch of vintage charm to your device.

Let's start with a little game of "Guess the Quality." Is it: A) Top-notch, genuine leather that would make someone proud? B) A close relative of the leather used in luxury handbags and Italian shoes? C) A sad, wrinkly piece of plastic masquerading as leather, with all the durability of a wet paper bag? If you guessed C, you're a winner! (In the "I've been scammed" category, but still.) The case arrived looking fine. However after a few trips to the floor that gashed the case, and the "leather" developing more bubbles than a toddler's bath. But hey, maybe it was just a bad batch, right? Wrong. The seller, ever the optimist, offered a replacement. "Surely this one will be different!" I thought, as I eagerly opened the package like a kid on Christmas morning. But alas, it was the same sad story, with the added bonus of a new gash from the latest floor-fall. In the end, I decided to give the case a proper burial in the trash can, where it belongs. If you're looking for a case that will make you laugh (at its expense), this is the one for you. But if you want something that will actually protect your phone, you might want to keep looking.

I’ve tried nearly half a dozen cases and narrowed it down to this case, and the RKS leather case for a good leather to make up for Apple not producing one this year for the 15PM. This case fits tightly, and regardless of what another reviewer states, the MagSafe works just fine with this case I guess they have never used MagSafe because they all get warm, but I’ve had no issues even with an Apple battery pack MagSafe fitting nicely with this case. I will say the buttons are tiny, and a little harder to press than some other cases I’ve tried. the leather feels genuine and I am sure it will age nicely. I ordered this at pre order day and received one and sent it back thinking I would keep the RKS but have since ordered a new one, It actually came in a box unlike the pre order one and the buttons do look and feel better. Also I feel like it has a bit more lip than the "pre-order" one I initially received. This is a keeper. Highly recommend for the price. Update: added a little Blackrock leather conditioner and it soaked it up nicely. Gives it a little darker shade and feels less nice in the hand. Hands down this case is the one to buy for the 15PM. Added the leather conditioner and it feels great. 10/11 - this case just keeps getting better the more you use it. After applying a little leather conditioner it feels fantastic and I like the look. Very glad I settled on this one.

The case was nicely packed and attractive. The tan leather quickly looked scratched and old with use, but the case was functional even after the lower button fell off and was lost. The buttons are apparently glued onto impressed areas, and you can still press that area to case the corresponding iPhone button to be activated.

I really liked this case when I got it back in November, 2023. It developed a nice patina and was mostly durable. However, it has recently started to fall apart. The leather is breaking and cracking. Wouldn’t buy this brand again
