Serious question - who the heck buys these types of cases? Bulky, unattractive, giant button cut outs (dust!!!), and tacky laser engraved logos. It screams Mall Kiosk. Seriously, on a design scale these types of cases are the polar opposite of the iPhone they're protecting, and I just don't get it.
I know Pad & Quill are known for quality but that leather case reminds me of arts and crafts leather projects from summer camp. Harsh? Hyperbolic? Yeah, probably but I just can’t not see it. So that being said, if my kid brought it home from summer camp, I would love it. All other situations ?
