Pros: A massively customizable premium leather case, offering a hybrid of hard and traditional leather cases with excellent fit and finish, multiple sturdy belt clip options, and an option for laser-engraved personalization.

Cons: Post-review changes to screen protector, noted in update below. Lacks protection for top, part of bottom, and Click Wheel; initial $70 price tag is high, even by handmade standards, and company’s $60 non-custom version no longer available. Quickly grows to be even more expensive, with additional costs for belt clip and Click Wheel protection.

A Note From the Editors of iLounge: Though all products and services reviewed by iLounge are "final," many companies now make changes to their offerings after publication of our reviews, which may or may not be reflected above. This iLounge article provides more information on this practice, known as revving.
