The iPhone boasts an iconic design, but it scratches easily. That makes keeping it in a case the best option, but which case do you choose? One classic option is a genuine leather case, which echoes the premium materials and careful design of the phone itself. Today, we’re looking at five of our best genuine leather cases for the iPhone 6S.

10. Olixar Genuine Leather Wallet
We begin with our most popular genuine leather wallet for the iPhone, by Olixar. The case is a great example of what you can achieve with a simple, careful design and excellent materials. The case is a little thicker than some of its more expensive peers, but still manages to include card slots and a media stand. It’s great value for money, and an excellent introduction to the world of genuine leather iPhone cases.
9. Redneck Red Line Genuine Leather Pouch
Redneck’s line of pouches are some of our most popular, offering an excellent example of a traditional form factor. The cases are made from high quality genuine leather and handcrafted in Europe, resulting in a premium product that fits the ethos of the iPhone perfectly. As well as being available in traditional shades of black and brown, the case is also offered in a cool blue colour.
8. Proporta Genuine Leather Contactless Case
Proporta have made an interesting addition to the world of iPhone leather cases, offering a case that includes built-in protection against card clash (def: when the wrong contactless card is read at a reader, potentially causing penalty fares on the Tube or money to be taken from the wrong card). The case is also good for the security conscious, as it prevents NFC signals from being read remotely by a nearby malicious party. Either way, it’s a good looking case with a unique capability.
7. Twelve South SurfacePad Leather Case
Twelve South’s SurfacePad is a cleaner, svelter version of their classic BookBook design (which we’ll see later). That includes a clean modern look, fine stitching and a choice of four bold colours. The case includes interior slip pockets and works as a media stand too, so you’re not losing out on practicality here. The case is made from luxurious Napa leather, making it one of the best-looking options in this list.
6. Occa Absolute Premium Leather Case
Occa’s brash Absolute Premium Leather Case is a breath of fresh air, with a bright red finish that contrasts nicely with the gold-coloured electroplated surround. (If you’d prefer something a little more subdued, then khaki or black finishes are also available.) The case is lightweight too, with its thin dimensions and lack of a flip cover ensuring you’ll still be able to keep your iPhone in your pocket or purse without difficulties.
5. SLG Genuine Leather Fabric Wallet
This wallet from SLG has a more youthful, modern look than most of its contemporaries, thanks to the inclusion of a beautiful fabric on the cover. It’s completed with a neatly stitched finish, a magnetic closure system and a slim profile. The case is a tasteful designer production, and is one of the trendiest cases for 2016.
4. Case-Mate Leather Charging Case
Case-Mate’s a lengendary name in the iPhone ecosystem, and for good reason. Their cases are some of the most protective and practical available, offering excellent resilience in a conveniently slim package. All of that applies to their leather case option, the Leather Charging Case. As the name suggests, this particular case also comes with a built-in 3500mAh battery, which more than doubles your battery life. Awesome!
3. Twelve South BookBook Wallet
The BookBook is one of the best known leather cases for the iPhone, and for good reason. Its leather exterior really does look like a classic tome, cloaking your iPhone from thieves and ne’er-do-wells. Open the case, and you’ll find your phone laid out in front of you, with an ID slot, three further card slots, and a pocket for larger items. The case also works as a media stand, which is perfect for keeping an eye on incoming notifications, watching videos or when writing with a Bluetooth keyboard.
2. Otterbox Strada Leather Case
The Otterbox Strada is a rather more modern interpretation of the classic leather case, but it still is made from good old fashion cow leather. The case includes a single slot for cash or cards, a strong housing to keep your iPhone protected and a screen cover to keep your screen in good condition. If you’re looking for a leather case that looks cleaner and svelter, this is a great choice.
1. Vaja Wallet Agenda Case
Our winning case today is the ultra-premium option from Vaja: the Wallet Agenda Case. This case is painstakingly handmade by master craftsmen, ensuring each example is totally unique. The case leaves no stone unturned when it comes to the details, either: there are careful cutouts for each button and feature, a wallet area for storing cash, cards and ID, and even an extra luxurious raw leather pouch to keep your encased phone within. This Vaja case looks fantastic, fits your iPhone perfectly, and is one-of-a-kind. If you’d prefer a slimmer case, you can try the related Vaja Grip case.
