Looks and feels like a million bucks
Although I preferred the smaller sized iPhone 7, the Plus had some camera features that sold me on the larger size. In many ways, upsizing made carrying the phone riskier, as it doesn't fit comfortably in my pocket and it felt easier to drop. I did a lot of homework before buying a case to protect it and decided on the Shieldon because of it's classy, sleek and minimal look. Although I mostly carry a wallet, I prefer only taking one piece when going out to a restaurant. I love the three card slots, but didn't want an ID window. I also didn't want the closing tab as I figured it would get in the way, and also ruin the look.I'm totally thrilled with this case. It has lived up to my expectations. Very smart. Feels great in my hands. The leather is faultless and has a total sense of luxury that I've never felt with a phone before. The iPhone fits snug inside and the whole unit feels weighty and strong - not flimsy.This adds to the experience of carrying the phone.The case is magnetic. With three cards and some bills inside, there is some weakening with the magnetic contact, but this is only slight and it was something I expected. It does not bother me as the case stays closed and nothing will fall out. When folding back the cover, the magnets keep it secure so you can easily use the phone without it getting in the way.One of the features of our currency in Australia are the different sized bank notes. Anything up to a $50 fits without folding, as does the $50 but it is a tight fit.I bought two - the brown (tan) and also the black. The two wallets and freight cost a little more than one of Apple’s leather cases (not wallets). I couldn't be happier with my purchase and wholeheartedly recommend this product to anyone who wants quality, stylish and functional protection for their phone. Thanks to Shieldon, their designers and manufactures, I have am able to tick everything off my must-have list.The case acts as a great stand and is also useful when taking timed shot with the camera. I have even used it to time-lapse.I should add that I don’t carry cards with a magnetic stripe in this case as the magnets could render the cards useless, however I use pay wave feature and this is not a concern for me.It’s been a couple of months now and I still get a buzz when I pick it up.

Great quality wallet case at affordable price.
I'm giving this a 5-Star rating because of the quality of product for the money. The Sena case was no longer at a reduced price, Sena, Vaja, and Pad & Quill cases are typically north of $100. I purchase this case so that I would have protection while I made up my mind. After getting this case so nicely packaged and using it, I am no longer in the market to buy a new wallet case. I'm going to keep using this one and if it wears out, I will simply order another one. I believe that this is genuine leather. If it is synthetic, it's a very good one. The fit and finish is superb. It looks great. When closed, it's not that much larger than the phone itself and you can keep 2 credit cards. Although there are 3 slots, the flap won't stay closed with 3 cards or with folded money stored. I have decided to give up on this feature so that I can continue to use this slim wallet case. I need only 2 credit cards anyway. I rarely use cash. So I have to have my driver's license, insurance cards and cash in another wallet somewhere that I can retrieve them if I need to. Even with this shortcoming, I'm sticking with my 5-Star rating.

Excellent case, great value!!
I purchased this product for a different phone, and after buying my new iPhone 7 Plus, purchased this case a second time. In my opinion, it is such a great value for the price!! The case is attractive and very well made, and comes in a presentation "drawer" and sleeve that looks like you paid much much more than you really did. My only complaint would be the "feel the nature" slogan that comes embossed on the inside of the case, which just seems weird and looks out of place - fortunately no one sees that when the case is closed - so not a deal breaker for me. Another reviewer mentioned about the front flap that covers the camera. Basically I'm pretty sure most all leather covers, when folded (all the way back), cover the cameras - so you simply learn to hold the cover open while taking your photos. I actually like the front cover to use as an added thing to grab to steady my hands as I take a photo - so it's a non issue for me, and I'm a photographer that values the camera on my phone very much and constantly take pictures. Buttons are easy to access as well. Two thumbs up. Thank you Shieldon.

Loved it but didn’t fully work for me
I bought an 8+ and wanted a portfolio case so I could get rid of my wallet. After a bunch of reviews it was between this and another brand.Pros:Look is amazingAppears high qualityHas an amazing feelHolds 3 cards and cashiPhone 8+ fits perfectlyFront fold attaches to back of iPhone, no dangling when foldedCons:Two big cons that I couldn’t overcome. The phone is secured in with no ability to detach the phone unless you take it from the case. Some phone portfolios have a case that has a magnet that allows you to detach your phone for various reasons (handing it to someone without also giving your credit cards/annoying when taking photos). The big deal for me is when you put 3 cards in the wallet was the magnet was not very good with closing. The slightest pull would pop open the front, which was a dealbreaker for me.So I really loved this case, but I needed to be able to detach the phone portion without removing the phone from the case and to have a secure magnetic hold.If you don’t need those two things, then pick up this case!

Awesome case
I like a case that covers the screen to protect it and also it prevents pocket dialing. The quality and feel of the leather is excellent. I like the inside flap having 3 place holders for cards and it can even hold a few dollar bills. The magnet holds the flap closed or all the way open. The stitching is well done. The nice plastic holder for the phone holds it snug but it is easy to remove the phone without potentially scratching it. I did have a phone case that has a thin plastic holder that scratched the case when I took the phone out so this is a concern of mine. Overall I really like the case and would recommend it to anyone who likes this kind of case.

Way better than expected.
Very happy with this case. There is always a level of concern when something says “made of leather”, but this case actually is. It’s sturdy and it’s very easy to remove the phone without it being detrimental to the integrity of the part that holds the phone in place. I had this issue with my previous flip case which led me to have to buy a new one. The part that holds the phone in place is in this case is made of rubber...so it’s very flexible.If you prefer a flip case for your iPhone then this case is an excellent buy.
