I just recently switched over to an iPhone 5 and was umming and ahhing over buying a phone cover because they sell for around $20 for very basic plastic ones here in the local malls. Knowing I can get them for a lot cheaper overseas stopped me pulling money out of my wallet. Thankfully I needn't bother as I was sent a couple of phone covers at pretty much the exact right time that I was on the lookout for one.
I chose the flip open style as shown below because it is made of good quality leather and has two handy open viewing panels that show you the time and grant you access to the swipe/answer call button without having to open the actual case up in a rush.
The case I was using for my former iPhone 4 was this Michael Kors one and while the card slots were handy and the cover was indeed very stylish, overall the whole having to open it open just to answer a call was getting annoying. I think we all prefer the easiest access possible, especially during those times our phones are ringing whilst being swimmingly lost among the crap filling up our handbags.
I was sent the Labato phone cover in rose and black - kind of a His & Hers affair considering both my hubby and I have the same phone model. Obviously he laid claim to the black while I grabbed on to the very girly pinky rose.
The chic packaging also comes with both a front and back clear protective sheet to put on your phone and a cleaning cloth for your phone. That's pretty awesome considering here they charge $10 just to put one of those screens on your iPhone.
My Husband's cover.
The leather is handcrafted and hand moulded to perfectly fit your iPhone.
Colour contrasting with my new bag from Dareen Hakim. Yes it says "Habibi" (My Love) on it. Yes my husband raised an eyebrow or two at the fact my bag is obviously flirting with any stranger it passes by. If you love the bag (and let's face it - if you have good taste you will) then make sure you come back to the blog later today as I will be having a giveaway for one of their amazing clutches!
