Proporta™ Aluminium Lined Leather Case Review

Here at MyGreatiPhone.com, we believe that the best devices on the market, whether it is an iPhone, iPod or even your SatNav, deserve to be protected by the best quality cases on the market. This is why we are proud to be associated with Proporta™, the premier provider of quality cases and accessories for your favourite device.

We will be reviewing some of the best iPhone cases that Proporta™ has to offer, showing you every aspect of each case, making sure you make the right choice when it comes to protecting your precious device.

To start us off, we just received a great case from Proporta™, their Aluminium Lined Leather Case.

Packaging

Immediately you can see that the packaging is very well put together and the attention to detail is incredible, right down to the little rubber tab with the Proporta™ logo on it that you use to pull open the two sides.

The card like packaging is very sturdy and the case itself is featured in a clear plastic box. When you open the seal on the side and pull the box apart, the first thing you notice is that the two sides are magnetic! What a great quirky little design feature, perfect if you need to put the case back in.

You will also see that instead of the usual boring plain cardboard interior you get when opening products of this sort, you get a nice laminated and patterned interior, again showing the Proporta™ logo. This just echo’s the quality you know you are going to get with the actual product itself.

The Case

So on to the case itself. The case is primarily made from real leather, that has a sort of sleek, snake-skin design to it. Displayed on the front as a metallic badge is the brand name, “Proporta”. The white threading around the edges is very good quality and goes around the entire length of the case. Again the attention to detail is shown with the little red fabric label, showing the logo.

On the back you can see there is a hole cut out for the camera so it can still be used while seated in the case. In the center is a screw which holds the aluminium plate in place which covers the whole length of the case minus the hinged area which needs to move, it causes no obstruction at all when putting the case in or taking it out of your pocket.

Design

When you open the case, the quality and design shine out like a beacon. The top flap is covered in a great looking cream leather, with a cut-out showing a strip of brushed metal sporting the brand “Proporta” engraved into it. Hidden in the top flap is a magnetic strip that acts as the “clasp” you would find on most cases similar to this one. This is especially nice as it means that when you take it out of your pocket, there is no extra flap of material with a studded button on to get caught on while on the way out.

The bottom half is lined in a beautifully designed pinstripe material, which is a far cry from the bland plain black lining you would normally see. The section that houses your device is more of a matte effect leather with black stitching. On the inside of this is a black felt material to treat your device with the TLC it deserves.

Fit

This case allows full access to all functional parts of the iPhone such as; headphone jack, volume rocker, silence switch, camera, and speakers/dock while the device is seated inside it, thus keeping your iPhone protected even during use, like all good cases should.

The only minor issue that i can see is that the home button is slightly impeded at the bottom, but not enough to effect full functional use of your iPhone.

All in all, I can still give this case 5/5 for protection, usability and of course outstanding design.
