The Ideal Twelve South iPhone Case: Four Tailor Fit Options

Minimal, functional and simply beautiful – the ideal definition of the perfect iPhone case for your new gadget. In other words, any of the Twelve South’s exquisite phone cases. Their super thin and luxury leather covers protect the front and back of your iPhone from common hazards, like concrete countertops or from getting scratched from the keys in your purse. Twelve South has 4 types of Apple-inspired smartphone cases and each and every one has its distinct features.

Relaxed Leather

If you are the minimalist geek who wants his phone to be well protected but also look good, then the Relaxed leather case is the perfect match for you. This Twelve South iPhone case comes in two variants – with or without pockets. The former has everything the latter has, except plus two extra slips in the back for your ID and credit card. The case makes use of burnished leather, which gives its luxurious old-fashioned look. What’s even better with this type of case is that the leather only gets better over time – like a fine wine. Word of advice with the pocket case – when you charge it wirelessly, make sure you do so without the cards in the back as this can demagnetize the chips inside.

Book Book

If you want to have both a case and a wallet in one then the Book Book folio case is really a great option. It is rather bulky but it provides enough protection and it can hold up to 5 cards. There’s a window pocket which is ideal when you need to quickly show your ID and it also works with Apple Pay. You can also keep cash in it as there is a small opening for that behind all the pockets. The Book Book also has a kickstand and the phone can be detached together with the shell by just sliding it to the left. This is really an all-in-one case.

Journal

For a more stylish and more protective case than the Book Book, you can consider the Journal. This Twelve South iPhone case is just an upgraded version of the Book Book with one extra layer of protection. It has a bezel leather shell which will keep the phone safe if it happens to detach from the folio during a fall. It also makes for a great stand and it is made from a full grain leather which will form a unique patina as time passes by. It comes in Balck or Cognac.

SurfacePad

Much like the Relaxed Leather, the SurfacePad is a slim case that offers the same wallet-like functions as the previous. Although it doesn’t have the same number of pockets, it makes use of the “Wake to raise” feature in the coolest way possible – by opening the case. It can also act as a cool little stand, made from a full leather grain that also allows Qi wireless charging. The SurfacePad is the most pocket-friendly case out of all folio cases from Twelve South.
