How to Keep Your iPhone Leather Case Looking New: Tips and Care

Today, smartphones are a fundamental part of our daily lives. Whether it's to organize our tasks or to stay connected with friends and family, these devices have become essential tools. To protect them while giving them a personal touch, many people choose cases that not only offer security, but also reflect their style. Leather cases, in particular, are known for their durability and elegance.

When choosing a leather case, the quality of the material is key. So if you're looking for an option that combines durability with a sophisticated design - not all types of leather are created equal - the Alex Goldfinch Excellence Leather iPhone Case is made from full-grain leather, the strongest and most durable type. Unlike genuine leather, which comes from the innermost layers of the skin and is of inferior quality, full-grain leather retains all of the natural structure, giving it greater strength, a refined texture and a unique patina over time. This layer of natural shine that forms on the leather makes it even more special over the years, giving it a character of its own.

The aging process of leather, known as “patina,” is one of the most appealing aspects of this material. With regular use, the case will develop a patina that not only makes it more unique, but also reflects its history. To achieve an even and attractive patina, it is necessary to use the case regularly and follow certain care guidelines. Avoiding harsh chemicals and maintaining a cleaning and moisturizing routine will be key to ensuring that the leather ages harmoniously and remains in excellent condition.

While the Excellence iPhone Case is made from the finest materials, leather is a living material that requires minimal care. Read on to discover how cleaning, moisturizing, and protecting your case are essential to prolonging its lifespan.

1. Regular Cleaning

Leather is a natural material that can accumulate dust and dirt over time. To keep your case clean:

• Use a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove surface dirt.
• Avoid cleaning products with harsh chemicals, as they may damage the texture or color of the leather.
• If you have more difficult stains, use a leather cleaner and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Keeping leather clean not only preserves its appearance, but also prevents premature wear.

2. Leather Hydration

Leather needs hydration to prevent it from drying out or cracking. Here are some tips:

• Apply a leather conditioner once a month.
• Use a small amount and spread evenly with a clean cloth.
• Allow the product to absorb thoroughly before using the cover again.

Moisturizing the leather ensures that it remains flexible and in excellent condition for a long time.

These are general guidelines for leather, the Excellence Case will be in contact with your hands for a long time. The oils from your hands will naturally lubricate the case on a daily basis. In principle we recommend moisturizing the leather after cleaning at a frequency of approximately one month.

3. Protection against water and humidity

Although leather has some water resistance, it is not completely waterproof. To protect your case:

• Avoid exposing it to heavy rain (The material used by Alex Goldfinch perfectly withstands light rain and humid environments)
• If you prefer, you can apply a specific waterproofing spray for leather (make sure it is suitable for your type of cover, this will delay the patina process)
• If the cover gets wet, dry it immediately with a dry cloth and let it air dry, away from heat sources.

Avoiding exposure to high humidity is essential to prevent stains and deformations.

4. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun

Direct sunlight can cause leather to lose color and become more brittle. To care for your cover:

• Do not leave it in the sun for a long time.
• Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.

This simple care will help maintain the colour and durability of the leather. However, with the upper material used by Alex Goldfinch you don't have to be so careful about prolonged exposure to the sun.

5. Careful Handling

Although leather may show signs of wear over time, you can reduce damage by following these tips:

• Avoid contact with sharp objects that may scratch the surface.
• Keep the case away from products such as perfumes or creams.
• Always place it on clean, smooth surfaces to avoid scratches or stains.

If the case has small scratches, these can be removed by gently and continuously rubbing the area with your fingers in circles. If the scratch is deeper, you may need to apply a leather repair product. But don't give up! Leather has incredible properties for regenerating its shape.

Taking care of your case on a daily basis ensures that it maintains its stylish and functional appearance.

An Alex Goldfinch leather iPhone case is an investment worth taking care of. With these simple tips, you'll not only extend its lifespan, but you'll also be able to enjoy its impeccable appearance for a long time. From cleaning to protecting it from the sun and moisture, each of these steps is essential to keeping your case looking like new. If you make these care routines a part of your lifespan, your leather case will remain as good as new, combining functionality and style for years to come.
