The title says it all. It is a very nice case. Keeps the iPhone protected and looks very good. The leather is very premium feeling compared to the regular leather. It has a waxy smooth texture that after rubbing back into the surface protects the leather well. I also like the shape of the grip and the lip around the screen. The grip is easy to hold with the concave groove that follows the length of the phone. The lip around the screen is really nice as well. The shape of it gradually falls towards the screen making it easy to swipe and its not overly thick but still protective; your thumb and fingers don't get hung up on it like on some other cases where the contour is more pronounced in the centre of the lip. The buttons are really very premium feeling. The ones that have the relief lines make it easier to know where you're holding the phone and they're all very responsive. Even the camera button works great, though maybe a bit too sensitive as others have stated. It's not a deal breaker and can be worked with by setting the button less sensitive in the iOS. All in all, I'm happy with it.
Only downside for me is that I wish the chromexcel leather was offered more regularly. It really does feel nice. Even the colour has a complex richness to it that the regular leather phone cases don't have. I'd also like to see them sell it in the traditional phone case. I'd buy one in a heartbeat!

Great look and feel to this case - I have used every version of this case since the iPhone X. Bumper is well placed to absorb drops and minimize damage to the leather backing. The case has easily survived drops on smooth flooring and carpet, but concrete will of course damage the leather upon direct impact. Would definitely recommend!
