got it last month and I must say I am very impressed how well it is made. I have had other folio style cases and they would start to fall apart with in a week the threads unraveling but this case has surpassed them all.
I've always had otterbox covers, I had the strada cover for the S6 and loved it, but I don't know whether it is actually down to the large size of it , but the front flap let's too much rust and debris through the gaps. Maybe it's because of the edge shape, but my S6 case didn't do this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey John Michael,
We apologize that this Strada series has been encountering some dust and rust! While the open design of the case isn't necessarily dust-proof, rust is something we rarely see with our products. If the unit is looking a little worse for wear, our stylish Otters would love to get you into a sleek new replacement. Please feel welcome to give them a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll set up a warranty claim in a matter of minutes!
I bought this case 1 month ago for my new Galaxy S9+ and it is a great case. Every time I upgrade my phone, I always lean toward the Strada Folio. This is the 3rd one I own and other 2 are still in great shape. Sleek, stylish and have saved my phone a few times around accidental drops.
I had the same cover for my Samsung S7 and when I upgraded to the S9+ this is the first case I purchased. It protects my screen with the cover on it. Love it
I had the plastic flip cover case for my Galaxy S8 and opted for an Otterbox this time out. I really like the sturdy build and leather, and the magnetic clip is handy for keeping the cover closed and open. My only issue is that the phone doesn't detect when you close the cover and the screen stays on, unlike with my Samsung flip cover that put the screen to sleep immediately. The buttons on the side are also a bit stiff and it can be difficult to tell where the volume buttons are without turning the phone sideways to take a look.
