Introduction

 

Executive leather hip case

 

The C.E.O. Premiere is a stylish, premium leather hip case for iPhone 3G. This classically designed case features textured, perforated leather with elegant contrast stitching and an ultra-slim permanent belt clip. Constructed of soft textured Nappa leather, this versatile case can be worn on the hip or slipped into a purse or bag. The secure enclosure flap holds the iPhone safely in place when not in use, while the opening on the bottom allows the iPhone to be easily pushed out of the case when needed. Side openings allow access to headphone minijack and sleep/wake button, without obstructing the speakers.

What I Found

I love the smell of real leather and this is as real as it gets!

The quality craftsmanship becomes obvious with a lifetime guarantee for the Hip case.

 

The reason why the cover is so strong so that the iPhone won’t fall out, is because it has a very strong magnet that goes the length of the inside cover underneath the leather and another not-as-strong magnet in the outer overhanging part of the case. The under magnet is so strong, that a table knife can pick it up and not shake loose. Yet it is not so strong that you cannot pull the iPhone out, if necessary, with one hand.

 

I like the heavy-duty belt clip that grips tightly to pants or belt. There is no airgap between the clip and the side of the case. 

 

Conclusion

 

If you want that professional, sophisticated, learned look about you while using an iPhone, why not get this one? A lifetime guarantee for $35. Soft leather that doesn't crack and looks classy.

 

Mareware also is planning to release a FlipVue case for the iPhone 3G that combines protection and ease-of-access for $30.
