Provides protection to your phone without needing a face cover that can sometimes impact your screen sensitivity and it's clarity. After using it on my Galaxy S6 I bought one for my S8 I liked the first one so much!
I bought the folio case because I've had to replace my phone screen twice and didn't want to risk a 3rd time. Something about the infinity edge leaves part of the screen open to vulnerability on other cases. I work on a pool deck so I needed something to protect my phone if it drops on the cement but also its screen. The folio is awesome because it covers that screen and I don't have to worry about another cracked screen when I pick it back up after a fall. I was afraid I'd look like a mom with a folio case (I'm 25 and nowhere near having kids), but the case is actually pretty sleek and my popsocket easily adhered to the back of the case. If you're clumsy like me and need protection for that infinity edge of the galaxy, get this case.
I bought this a few weeks ago and am very disappointed. The cloth/fabric on the interior of the flip cover gets dirty almost immediately. I work in an office environment and don't do terribly active things with my phone so I was surprised it already looks like an old case after a few short weeks.
It's a good case. I only wish I had bought it sooner. I had just gotten the Galaxy S8 in the mail, set it on my lap, forgot it wasn't in my purse, stood up, cracked the screen from top to bottom. After I got the case, I accidentally dropped my phone from standing height. No further damage was done to the phone. It didn't even chip where the previous chipping was located. I also love the card holder. It replaces my wallet on short store or gas station runs. The only complaint I have is a lack of any screen cover. The leather cover does It's job only as long it is closed and covering your screen. While using your phone, however, the screen is open to scratches, dirt, and the like. When all or said an done, it's still a great purchase.
The Strada cases are my absolute favorite. This is my third phone that I've purchased this case for. It protects my case and gives me a slot to keep my ID in which I need quite a bit throughout the day. Only downside is that they didn't come out with the blue leather for the galaxy s8 and I loved the blue
