Test of the Ottterbox Strada iPhone 6 protection in leather, with flap

When we
evokes the Otterbox brand, it is immediately the notion of protection thanks to
tough cases that come to mind. For good reason, the brand has
specialized for years in this field producing varied products and
very protective that we have seenin these
articles
.

But with their latest product, it's a shift towards a case that combines
protection from all angles with leather, a
first.

After several weeks of use, here are the photos, details and
our opinion on this iPhone 6 protection:

Beyond a simple shell made of plastic material as the brand offers
usually, you realize as soon as you unpack the appearance much more
elegant and worked of this model.

In fact, a rigid leather cover will be used to protect the screen, a shell in
protective plastic will serve to accommodate the machine, while the rear
is almost entirely covered in leather, as an extension of the face
avant.

Stitching enhances the whole and gives it a certain
cachet.

The manufacturing appears to be of very good quality: the leather is
perfectly well cut, the seams are precise and parallel to the edges
protection while the plastic part is clean and without
burr.

Inside the front, it is a soft woven fabric that will come into contact
of the screen, with a space reserved for sliding a business card per
example. As for the back of the iPhone, it is protected by a layer of
flexible and shock-absorbing material in the event of a fall.

Last aspect to note: the closure is carried out using a magnet
located in the facade, it sticks to a shiny metallic part,
it also has the most beautiful effect.

As for setting up, simply slide the machine into the
plastic shell (slightly flexible). This is done relatively easily, without
that we want to remove it and put it back on a daily basis.

Once inserted, the machine is perfectly protected on the back well
heard, on the sides but also around the screen. Borders return
indeed on the side of the screen.

When the cover is closed, everything is perfectly aligned. At
passage, note the opening provided to allow speaking on the telephone with
the hood closed if desired.

Openings are of course provided for the camera and its flash,
for the lever for switching to silent mode but also on the bottom of the
machine for microphones, speaker and charging socket.

The shell is rounded and therefore fits very well in the hand. We appreciate the
possibility of folding the flap to the rear when in use. She comes
thus sticks to the magnet from the other side and does not beat in a vacuum.

In the pocket, the case is discreet and pleasant also thanks to the
rounded.

Our opinion

In conclusion, we retain a product that offers a lotmore than
cachet
than the usual Otterbox protections,without for
you might as well lose protection
. On the contrary, it is one of the
among the most reassuring protection solutions sinceeven the screen
is here sheltered from shocks
. The shape and materials used make
protectionpleasing to the eye but also very comfortable,
both in the hand and in the pocket. Brief,a faultless one that we don't
can only recommend
. Adopted!
