DECODED leather iPhone case, a great alternative to Apple cases
Sunday, February 11 • Wesley Fabry
Along with the iPhone 15 series, Apple decided to stop using leather accessories. Their alternative is Finewoven, but that material was very poorly received. If you still want a leather iPhone case, the cases from Decoded Bags are an absolute must.

The best iPhone screen protector
Despite Apple providing the iPhones with a scratch-resistant Ceramic Shield, it is simply not possible to rule out that scratches will appear on the screen of your new iPhone. The ceramic shield protects against scratches, but certainly not for the full 100%.
For additional screen protection, you can apply a mesh screen protector to the screen. With the help of a handy installation frame, you can easily apply Spigen Screen Protector EZ FIT to your device.
These are Spigen EZ FIT screen protector is made of tempered glass which gives you an extra glass layer. The glass layer is highly resistant to scratches and will protect the iPhone screen from the impact of the fall in the event of a fall. Depending on the circumstances, the glass of the glass screen protector may crack or tear, but the screen of the iPhone itself remains intact.
