Galaxy Note 9 Leather Case Bible Verse Series Vegetable Tanned Full Grain Leather Flip Wallet Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 9 with Magnetic Closure - Retro Cognac

This was my third purchase from iPulse for leather wallet cases, as I have like the quality and usefulness of the previous cases. I must say that this case is the best so far, and they seem to improve the quality and function of these wallet cases.So I just received the case a few days ago, and it comes packaged pretty well, wrapped up in plastic then inside of a pouch made to protect the case, and then packed with foam and covered with more plastic wrap. Pretty much guarantees case will be undamaged.As for the quality of the case......very nice looking and feeling Italian Leather with good looking stitching, an ID slot plus two credit card slots and a full length area for some cash and or receipts. The side that hold the phone is soft and bends just enough to easily install or remove phone, and is made from a soft enough material to prevent scratching. Also this iPulse case has raised function buttons that are covered and line up perfectly with power switch, volume up and down and also Bixby buttons. Previous iPulse cases just had cut out openings for buttons. This newer design is better I think. Plus the bottom of this area appears a little thicker to better provide protection if dropped.The magnetic closure strips works well and just close and keep the case closed when you are not using phone. Great idea that works well. I had another brand of case that was premium leather but had no closure device.....and phone did a face dive on the screen on my slate floor. $100 later with insurance I had a new phone. This iPulse case will probably protect against that.I carry my phone in back pocket most of the time, and remove it from pocket when sitting. My previous iPulse cases have held up well and even look a little better with some character in the leather with use. When sitting on my desk or in front of when out it just looks like a high end leather wallet.....and pretty classy in my opinion.Last thing.....this model case has several holes drilled for earphone speaker and can now be used on a call when closed....and that adds protection and maybe a little more ease of use at times.

Even though my new Note 9 was over a grand (512 version) and I want good protection, I also wanted a "wallet" so that credit cards, cash, ID, and phone could be carried together at all times. Additionally, I wanted to be able to use my wireless charger and have access to the S pen - AND I wanted to be able to use the case as a stand when watching videos. BUT... $40? ...when "wallet" cases can be had for about $12? Fact is, I searched and searched and NONE had ALL the features I wanted - regardless of price - until I found this one. IT'S WORTH THE PRICE! Real leather, quality stitching, phone protection, wireless charging, S pen, easy (working) fingerprint access, video stand, secure clasp, credit cards, ID, cash, AND speaker holes. It doesn't interfere with my screen protector. NICE and COMPACT- even with ID, Costco card, two credit cards, and a few bills. Very classy look. I'm ordering another one right now - not because I don't think this will last, but because I carry this all the time in my front pocket and don't expect it to last forever. I just don't want to think about settling for something less should I one day decide to replace this and find it's no longer available. Delivery was quicker than notifications indicated it would be. Packaging is such that it would make a GREAT GIFT! Five Stars because I can't think of a single thing which would improve this product.

It isn't cheap nor does it look cheap - yes, you do get what you pay for. Mine is black the Samsung Note 9 512 GB is blue. I added a screen protector (impact-rated glass) since tripping sometimes happens with the phone in use - in this product's case, with the wallet top panel open. Does the phone land back first or face first? I didn't want to beg my odds so I got the glass - I do recommend it anyway.As other reviewers have stated:1. premium feel2. premium look3. Real leather, not bonded/"pleathers"4. Heavy stitching5. 4 small slots for CCs (inc. windowed pocket for the ID cards6. Full-length slot behind the 4 slots on the left side panel for larger items/quick receipt stash7. Fit is amazing - buttons are exactly over the Note 9's buttons and work flawlessly8. Port/S-pen openings are exacting in their dimensions - no issues with plugging in the USB-C power plug or pushing to unload/re-load the S-pen9. Magnets (2) find their own counter-part and close tightly. You have to use some slight force to open your case. Perfect calibration on magnet choice for closure/protection.10. Slim enough to fit your pockets (front/back or what you carry your stuff in)This is not a "Mil-Spec" Otter Box. Nor is it designed to be that. However, the essentials are in place with great materials and design for an office/professional, sophisticated, and finished look. It will do the job while looking great.

A really beautiful and high quality product that is well worth the price and wait as it was shipped to Singapore. Hope iPulse has casings for other phone models.
