This is the absolute best iPhone case, hands down, and the only case you'll ever buy for you iPhone again- here's why. IN GENERAL I, myself, have bought 3 of these cases for each of my iPhones beginning with the 4s. I have gotten them in pink, red, and teal colors. Ever since I first bought this case I absolutely loved it and told everyone I knew about it. Each time I went to pay for something at a store and I reached for my credit card behind the phone I was already holding (of course) I received compliments on it and inquiry as to where I got it. Not including my family, who now all currently use this case, I have probably referred over 50 people to buy this case. (CM4 - if your reading and you want to give me this next case for my iPhone6 for free for all the sales I've given you, I'll take it ;) THE SPECIFICS Durability: - This case will last you the duration that you have your iPhone 6. The case is VERY well constructed and despite jamming in over 5 cards in it at a time, the case has never cracked, torn or needed to be replaced. Unlike other plastic cases that can chip or crack, this case never has given me a problem. Material: - The leather on the back is so much better than plastic or any other material because it a) doesn't show scratches or scuffs b) provides a much better grip to hold on to while you are using your phone c) enables you to stretch it to fit however many cards you desire to put back there (id say up to 7) d) does not slip out of your pocket as easily. The only thing to note is that once you stretch the wallet part to hold 6/7 cards and do so for a duration of time, it will no longer be tight enough to securely hold 1 or 2 cards as the material is not elastic. Color: - I have had the pink, red, and teal color. Since the teal color is the only one being currently offered I will comment on that. The teal is slightly darker than depicted and has more of a greenish tint than a bluish one as it's depicted in the picture. Over the years the color has never faded, however, the plastic portion, in particular, (on the sides and front lip) does get dirtier with time and use and therefore, obviously, is not as vibrant as it was when you first bought it. Overall Fit: - Unlike flimsy bendable plastic cases that get looser fitting over time, this case fits snugly on the phone and could never fall off on its on. - The lip over the front of the phone is high enough to protect the screen in the event that you drop it (I have done this numerous times), but low enough so that your finger easily glides over the screen and doesn't feel constricted by a case that has high protective walls. - The case perfectly aligns with the buttons and ports so that it is extremely easy to use and not obstructive in any way. EASE OF USE ON BUTTONS AND PORTS - The volume and power buttons are covered with a material that makes a reassuring `click' sound when pressed. Unlike other cases that typically have this problem whereby covered buttons are rendered difficult to use, this case has never inhibited the use of my phone and my buttons always reliably work on command. - The case leaves openings for the silence button, auxiliary and charging port. Each of these buttons/ports are easily accessible. Plugging the phone in to charge fits nicely in the exposed port and is not, in any way, made more difficult because of the case. A COMMON CONCERN ADDRESSED A common concern with combining the use of your phone and your wallet is that when you lose one, you've lost both and now, in addition to possessing your $300 phone, someone can also potentially use your credit cards and whatever else you have stored in this case as well. My take on this is as follows: I use my CM4 case to store 4 cards, namely: my license, my favorite credit card, subway card, and PATH card (I live in the Hoboken NJ/NYC area). On four separate occasions I have accidentally left my phone somewhere and was unable to remember where I had left it. Scenario 1- CM4 case NOT used: If my phone was in a regular case that didn't have the aforementioned cards in it, and assuming the person that found it wanted to return it to its owner, they wouldn't be able to because my phone is locked with a passcode. Therefore, a person finding my phone in this scenario would be unable to call anyone in my contact list to inform them that they have my phone so I would know where to retrieve it. In this scenario, unless my phone was returned to the front desk of the locations that I could remember to trace my steps back to, I would have no hope of being able to find my phone. This has happened countless times to SO many of my friends and I'm sure most everyone can relate to a situation similar to this. Scenario 2- CM4 case USED: Let's say you drop your phone on the street after getting out of a cab in NYC and don't realize it (this happened to me). You retrace your steps and call all the places you went to that day and are unable to find your phone. Because my phone had my cards in the back of it, and my license in particular, the person that found my phone was able to find me on social media and send me a message stating that they had my phone and was willing to set up a time for me to retrieve it. Alternatively, because my license had my address on it, I had a situation where the person who found my phone brought it to the concierge at the lobby of my apartment complex who then hand-delivered my phone to me at my door. Now, some of you are probably thinking "Oh, she was just really lucky", but I kid you not- this happened to me on 4 separate occasions. Even if the worst situation happened where I lost my phone with all my cards in the back of it and it was not ultimately returned to me, it is very easy to cancel a credit card (and even get reimbursed for fraudulent charges IF that does happen), and report your license as lost/stolen. The biggest hassle would definitely be paying a visit to the DMV to obtain a new license. IN SUMMARY: 1. Never put a debit card in the back of this case/ cash because you cannot get reimbursed for fraudulent charges 2. Your chances of getting your lost phone returned to you is SIGNIFICANTLY higher when you use this case and put cards in it that have your name 3. Having EASY access to cards you use constantly throughout the day and the increase chance that your phone will be returned to you in the event that you misplace it OUTWEIGHS the risk of losing your phone with your cards in the back and having to go through the hassle of having to cancel those cards. 4. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND BUYING THIS CASE
