Leather: The Best iPhone Protector

With the iPhone still ranking as the most popular phone, there is a wide variety of options to consider for protecting an iPhone. For several reasons, leather is the clear, responsible choice.

Snug Fit. Leather holds its shape remarkably well. Over time, fabrics stretch and plastics warp, but leather stays true to its original shape. This not only looks better, but a snug fit makes for a more effective protector.

Looks the part. A leather iPhone case looks tons classier than a bunch of the new bulky options made out of cheap plastic. Plus, leather is always in style and fosters a lot more of a grown-up look than the childish designs found on most of the other options.

Cleanliness. It is overwhelmingly easier to clean leather than other materials. Fabrics hold in dust and dirt, and plastics will be stained, but leather does not absorb dirt. With a leather iPhone case, debris can be wiped away with nothing more than a clean cloth.

Protects the iPhone. Leather is the best suited to actually protect the phone. There is an awfully good reason that bikers wear leather: it does the most to protect them when they fall. Leather helps to protect the iPhone from scratches. A rock can cut right through a fabric case, and a plastic case may not fare too well, either. In addition, a leather iPhone case will absorb much of the impact of a fall, making the rare accidental drop on the floor a lot less scary.

Waterproof. This will give so much peace of mind when a heavy rain storm comes out of nowhere. It is true that soaking an iPhone in rice tends to work well when it gets wet, but prevention is so much better.

A leather iPhone case is both fashionable and functional. Indeed, leather is a timeless classic, and it seems that the iPhone will soon become one, too. They are just meant to be a pair.
