Review: Hansmare Leather Skin for Apple iPhone 6/6S
Another in my occasional series of iPhone 6/6S case reviews - I'm all for leather when used tastefully and you can't fault the finish here, which is heavily textured leather laid on a plastic substrate - there are no rough edges (despite the relatively low price) and there's a definite premium feel:
It's a typical in-situ design, of course, with the aim here to both look good and also aid protection and grip. It achieves the latter to some degree with the texture, though the 'genuine leather' was coated with something that made it slightly more slippery that it should have been.
Moreover, the Hansmare case makes a song and dance in its promotional material about the edges being raised up enough to protect the iPhone in the event of a fall face down - but I'm sorry, this isn't what's found in real life - the sides barely made it flush with the glass surface and there's really very little protection:
Sorry Hansmare, back to the drawing board - higher quality leather, please, no extra coatings and sides that rise another millimetre and curve around the phone slightly.
You can grab this iPhone 6/6S case for about £14 from Mobile Fun UK. It's not a bad accessory and would certainly make a change for some owners - though it's only available in black and 'mint' and a red or blue version might be even more striking.
