Our Tuff-Grip technology utilizes high-quality leather, covering a durable clip-on shell which increases grip while keeping the slim-line hard-shell form factor. This provides a tactile surface that is smooth, sleek, & pleasant to the touch, as well as the executive look, feel, & subtle fresh scent of genuine high-quality leather. We recommend the purchase of our patented Topcoat screen protector to complement this case, for added screen protection (sold separately).
