Leather Care Guide


SIMPLE LEATHER CARE SUGGESTIONS

Our leather originates from leading Italian tanneries serving global luxury fashion brands. Whilst leather is a resistant material it is nevertheless subject to wear and tear by external agents. Keep in mind that the main purpose of the mobile phone case is to protect your device from falls and scratches. Given the frequent use of the mobile phone (on average 100 times/day) the vast majority of us will accidentally drop it on the ground provoking damages to the case (or the screen protector) such as corners and edges. The case is also subject to constant contact with humidity and dirt from hands, pockets in trousers, jackets and bags as well as being placed on different hard surfaces in various locations. The use of hand lotion and hand sanitizers will also damage the texture and alter the color of the leather. The mobile phone case is simply subject to intense wear and tear and will age faster than any other small leather goods. There are a few simple tips that could be useful for keeping your case in great shape over time. 



THESE ARE GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS THAT APPLY TO ALL OUR CASES


AVOID MOISTURE
Keep your leather product away from water and moisture. Don't place your leather product on any wet surfaces as leather absorbs fluids and moisture and will age a lot faster as a result of this.
Be careful with hand lotion and sanitizers as the leather will absorb any substances that are still humid on your hand and make the case darker or altering the color. Make sure the creams have absorbed in your skin properly before touching the leather.  


CLEAN
The leather can be cleaned with a mild soap or a leather cleaner product using a damp cotton cloth or a soft bristle brush.
After cleaning, wipe the leather with a damp sponge


RESTORE
Brown, black or grey cases can restore some of its original looks by applying matching shoeshine. Apply the shoeshine gently with a humid sponge. Let the shoeshine stay for 10-15 minutes on the leather before wiping it off.
After treating the entire surface, buff it with a soft cloth until the shine is restored.


AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT AND SUNLIGHT
Avoid excess heat. Placing your iPhone for a prolonged time in the sun will not only activate the iPhone heat shut down function, but also affect the leather and the edges. The iPhone and the case should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
