I’m not dragging the thing around in the dirt. I hold it, put it in my pocket, put it on a table, charge it… the case has an easy life. I dropped it a few time. It has a couple scuffs and scratches, but nothing major.

The main thing that happened was the edges all got dark. It felt like it took a year for that to happen, with whatever they treat it with. It looked brand new for many many months, way longer than I thought.

The leather is extremely thin. It has to be for the case or else it would get really bulky. That alone leaves it pretty vulnerable compared to a thicker, higher quality, leather. I’m sure if I took a lighter to it, there would be some kind of coating on it to make is all uniform as well.

I suppose I could get one from Saddleback. That would probably be better leather, but using MagSafe might be a problem. It says it still works though.
