Review: Waterfield Designs iPhone Suede Jacket

iPhone Suede Jacket

So this will be the first time I’m writing a review on this site. I couldn’t resist though, especially regarding a company that makes such amazing products, Waterfield Designs.

If you’ve never heard of Waterfield, they are known for their amazing SleeveCases. If you have a Mac laptop (or even a PC laptop), you have to check out their sleevecases. They are very well made and offer lots of protection.

Anyway, this review isn’t about the Waterfield sleevecase. It’s about a new product they recently introduced, the iPhone Suede Jacket. Now many other companies are making cases for the iPhone, but most of them are bulky or take away from the pure elegance of the iPhone.

The iPhone Suede jacket is different. It focuses on pure simplicity. This case is really well made, and the suede (it’s actually a very soft microfiber called ultrasuede) is very soft and nice. At first, the case felt a little too tight for the iPhone, but after using it for about a day, it loosened up just the right amount. Also, the suede is a great material because it actually cleans up the smudges from the screen every time you slide the iPhone in and out of the case.

In terms of protection, this little sleeve will not protect the iPhone if you drop it, but it will protect the iPhone from the various objects you have in your pocket or purse (keys, etc).

The cost was $9, but there’s a whopping $7 shipping charge. However, they really listen to their customers, so I’m hoping they’ll drop the shipping charge soon enough.

If you’re looking for some basic protection for your iPhone that adds no bulk, I highly recommend this case!
