The iPhone X is one of the most spectacularly designed iPhones since the original iPhone was launched ten years ago. Its front completely occupied by the screen, the rear glass, either in white or black, and the frame in polished steel or glossy black, ccomplete an imposing terminal that resists being hidden under a cover. So let's at least do it in style.
Twelve South, as is customary for the brand, offers us its premium quality leather cases that will help your terminal to be pristine over time, and it will also do so with style. The Journal sleeve, with its wallet design and space for cards and bills, and the RelaxedLeather sleeve, with a more conventional style and also space for two cards, they dress our iPhone X in the best possible way.
Journal pretends to be a top-quality portfolio. Made of leather and available in two colors, brown and black, it has the feel and robustness of leather, with a reinforcement on the spine for maximum protection. The iPhone fits in a rigid case that protects it and the cover acts as a card holder with space for the identity document (with window) and for two cards. There is also a compartment under that card holder for bills, so you can leave your wallet at home and only carry your iPhone in your pocket.
The case also acts as a support to view multimedia content comfortably. The case is quite rigid at the beginning and the lid does not close completely, especially if you add the cards, but from my experience with this type of covers, with the passage of time the skin will adapt and the case in the end will be like a glove adapted to your iPhone. The sensation when carrying it in your pocket is the same as that of carrying your usual wallet, thanks to the small size of the iPhone X. Its price is € 84,99 in Amazon, well below that of the similar official Apple case.
RelaxedLeather offers us something more conventional, for those who do not want the design of the cover with a lid. Its skin has a grainy touch and with the passage of time it will take on the personality of this type of material. The case is rigid and the interior is lined with microfiche to protect the delicate surface of the iPhone X. It has two slots for two cards, so with less volume than the previous model it will also serve us to go without a wallet on the street, with cash in our pocket, yes.
The touch of the buttons, which are perfectly covered by the case, is very good, without losing the feeling that you are pressing it, which is quite welcome. We will not have problems with the screen protector if we want to put it on, but we can be calm without it by placing the iPhone face down because the edges of the case protrude enough so that there is no risk of scratching the screen of the device. It is available in a wide range of colors (black, navy blue, green, brown, wine red and gray), each and every one of which will improve with the passage of time and the use of the case. Their price varies between € 50 and € 60 depending on the color, and they are also available in Amazon.
