They can't seem to get the colors right. The case for the S8 was a congac color on the outside but the inside was cream color. The outside was beautiful but the inside got dirty quickly and looked bad.
The new one for the S9 is a horrible dark brown but the inside is black. I wish I had ordered the black instead but now I am stuck with the brown one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Roderick,
We're sorry to see that you're feeling so disappointed by the color variety available for the Strada series!

We'll definitely pass your feedback along to our product design team for further consideration, and if you have any additional questions or comments, please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269!
I brought this case about a month ago and have been very unhappy with it. The exterior of the case scratches up really bad and looks bad because of that. Not sure of the material it's made if but doesnt much to scratch and cant get rid of them.

Hey there,
We sincerely apologize that this Strada series has retained some severe scratches! We have to admit, we're slightly surprised, since this isn't something we typically see with that product. Our friendly Otters are confident that a brand-new replacement shouldn't give you any such trouble going forward, so please don't hesitate to give them a call at 1-855-688-7269. They'll get a warranty claim rolling right away!
I would prefer the product if it had more slots for cards or if it was available in store when I got my phone. I also hate how you can't access the volume buttons on the phone when you close the case, you can only hit the lock/unlock button which is useless. I feel like I overpaid for a product that's just okay and if I could go back I'd definitely spend longer looking at other designs and styles of cases. I was hung up on wanting my cards in a case and this was the only option the dude at bestbuy knew.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dear Bird,
We apologize that you're not falling totally in love with this Strada series! We have to say, this is certainly a curious situation, since the volume buttons should be accessible even when the folio cover is closed. Please feel welcome to call our Otter detectives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly troubleshoot this to solve the mystery!
I bought this as as good overall cover, I am stoked the feel of the case and the leather is sleek and clean looking. Not bulky and looks professional. Thanks ob.
