Could Be Improved

Love the quality of the case; but, wish there was a snap or strap to better secure the top flap. I found that if case is upside down the iPhone would fall out.

Herman- Thank you for your feedback. There should be 2 velcro closures on the flap that should keep the phone from falling out, even if upside down. If your case doesn't include the ability to securely close the flap, please let us know. Thanks again.

But there is too much artificial patina used on the case.

Hans - The patina is a result of the minimal tanning process our vintage hides go through. The pouch will continue to patina in as you use it. If the patina process is not something you appreciate, I would suggest choosing our black pebble grain hides. These are a satin-finished leather that retains the same look year after year.

Best IPhone Case ever.

These cases are well made, great stitching, great leather. The only change I would make is to replace the Velcro with snaps, which is what I did.

iPhone 8 case

The looks, workmanship, and impact-resistance of our new MacCase are impressive and it's received many compliments. While it fits the iPhone 8 extremely well, ours has a beautiful leather Apple sleeve which made the fit overly snug until I stretched the MacCase a bit. Now it's perfect! And it was inexpensive.

Impressive, and one-size-fits-all!

My wife's durable leather MacCase (it holds her MacBook Pro and iPad simultaneously) has experienced about ten years of international travel and it's only gotten better-looking as it ages. Thus--when we recently purchased an iPhone 8 Plus--I had to check to see if MacCase makes a leather case for it.

Yes, indeed, they make such a case, and it's a handsome, well-made, and inexpensive one!! Unfortunately our iPhone--the Product(red) version--came with Apple's beautiful red leather case and it wouldn't fit easily into our new MacCase slipcase (and there was no way we were going to stop enjoying the red Apple case). So ... with a little ingenuity, a homemade oak stretcher, and a hairdryer, it was a simple task to enlarge the MacCase slipcase.

Additional Information

Expert Insight

Multi-award-winning designer and MacCase founder Michael Santoro on the iPhone case origin:

"We started making iPhone cases because we had beautiful leather left over from cutting our larger products and it seemed wrong to waste it. The quality of the material is identical to what goes into our MacBook sleeves and shoulder bags. We invented the rear loop attachment in 2008 because belt clips were too expensive to tool at the quantities we were making. The loop turned out to be a better solution anyway. It works with any shoulder strap, not just a proprietary clip."

What Is the MacCase Premium Leather iPhone Case?

The MacCase Premium Leather iPhone Case is a handmade leather slipcase for iPhone. It's made from the same quality, the same ethically sourced vegetable-dyed leather, and the same construction standards as every MacCase Premium Leather product. At $29.95 with a limited lifetime warranty, it's the most affordable entry point into the MacCase leather line. The case uses a simple, open-top slipcase design with a Velcro closure flap.

The non-scratch polyester interior liner protects the iPhone's finish. Front and rear sound holes maintain speaker and microphone performance. A vertical rear loop allows the case to attach to any MacCase leather shoulder strap, an attachment method MacCase invented in 2008 and has used across the leather line ever since.

Our iPhone Case Sustainability Story

The MacCase Premium Leather iPhone Case is made from the leather offcuts generated during production of MacCase's larger leather products, MacBook sleeves, shoulder bags, Flight Jackets, and Briefcases. Leather cutting always produces offcuts. Most manufacturers discard them. MacCase uses them to make iPhone cases.

This means every MacCase Premium Leather iPhone Case is made from material that would otherwise go to waste. The hides are the same ethically sourced, vegetable-dyed full-grain and top-grain leather used across the entire MacCase leather line. The iPhone case just uses the pieces left over after the larger products are cut. It's a genuine circular use of premium materials, not a marketing claim.

FAQs

How does the rear loop attachment work?

The MacCase Premium Leather iPhone Case features a vertical loop on the rear panel. Thread any MacCase leather shoulder strap through the loop and the iPhone case rides atop your bag, accessible without having to open the bag, secure without a clip, and perfectly matched in leather color and hardware. This attachment method was invented by MacCase in 2008 and has been a signature feature of the leather iPhone case ever since.

It works with the shoulder straps included with the following MacCase Flight Jackets and briefcase models:

• Premium Leather MacBook Case, the original MacCase leather laptop case, in production since 2008

• Premium Leather iPad Pro Bags

• Premium Leather iPad Briefcase

Premium Leather Briefcase

The iPhone case is also perfectly color-matched to all MacCase Premium Leather products: vintage brown matches vintage brown, pebble black matches pebble black.

What makes the MacCase leather iPhone case different from other leather iPhone cases?

Three things:

• The leather is the same ethically sourced, vegetable-dyed full-grain or top-grain hide used in MacCase's MacBook and iPad leather products, not a lower grade sourced separately.

• The case is made from offcuts generated during production of larger MacCase leather products, making it a genuine zero-waste product.

• And the rear vertical loop invented by MacCase in 2008, allows the case to attach to any MacCase leather shoulder strap, keeping your iPhone accessible alongside your bag without opening it.

Is the MacCase leather iPhone case made from the same leather as the other MacCase models?

Yes, exactly the same hides. The MacCase Premium Leather iPhone Case is made from the leather offcuts generated during production of MacCase's larger leather products. The quality, sourcing, and tanning process are identical. Vintage brown is full-grain, unfinished leather that develops a patina over time. Pebble black is top-grain with a semi-sealed textured surface. Both are ethically sourced and vegetable-dyed.

What is the protection rating of the MacCase leather iPhone case?

The MacCase Premium Leather iPhone Case scores 7.25/10 overall in the MacCase Protection Rating System. Individual scores are as follows:

• Impact 7/10,

• Scratch 9/10,

• Corner 8/10,

• Water 5/10.

The leather exterior and layered foam provide strong scratch and corner protection. Water resistance is moderate. The case handles light moisture but is not waterproof. The Velcro closure keeps the iPhone secure during carry.

Does the MacCase Premium Leather iPhone Case have a warranty?

Orders arrive in 7-10 business days. In production since 2010. MacCase has been shipping worldwide since 1998—28 years of continuous production. Questions?
