6 Tips For Extending Your Case's Life

Your genuine leather phone case is one of a kind and has character that can only be matched by your style. Here are simple steps to care for your leather case, so it will last as long as possible.
Proper care will enhance the aesthetic qualities that make leather so desirable. Follow these tips to keep your phone case in top condition now and for many years to come.

1.Basic Cleaning

Most people don’t think about cleaning their leather phone case more than once in a blue moon — if ever. The good news is that it’s a quick and easy process that involves minimal work on your part. It’s best to avoid using soap, as many soaps can leave a harmful residue. Although not recommended, if you need something more powerful than water, you can use a very mild soap or clothes detergent. Mix one part soap to eight parts water in a spray bottle.
When you clean your phone case, always make sure the surface is dry before you put it back on your phone — wet leather attracts dust and dirt like a magnet. You should give your case a once-over every few weeks, or whenever you notice stains. A simple wipe down with a barely-damp, clean cloth is usually all you need.
Allow your leather phone case to air dry naturally — don’t apply heat, and keep it out of direct sunlight.

2.Conditioning

There's plenty of natural leather out there, so you can be sure that if this is your preference, you'll find something to suit you. But the fact that leather is a natural product means that it needs to be cared for. Just like your skin, which can get dry and flaky without moisturizer, leather can dry out and crack when not properly maintained. The good news is that there are many products available to help keep your leather soft, supple, and looking as good as new!
To condition your leather, start by cleaning it with a damp cloth. Then apply a thin layer of conditioner or oil using a clean cloth. If you're using a conditioner (e.g., Lexol Leather Conditioner), apply it sparingly: just enough to coat the surface of the leather. Using too much will leave your item shiny and sticky—not exactly what you want! If you're using oil (e.g., mink oil), rub it into the surface of the leather until all traces of oil are absorbed.
If you live in an arid climate (i.e., one where humidity levels are low), condition your leather every three to four months to make sure it stays nice and soft as the seasons change.

3.Waterproof

It's unlikely that you'll be exposing your phone to wet environments, but if you do happen to get caught in the rain, it's nice to know that your leather phone case isn't going to get ruined. Leatherette cases are great because they're durable, lightweight, and offer the same level of protection without the extra weight. But when a genuine leather phone case gets wet, the natural oils can rise to the surface and then eventually evaporate, causing the leather to lose its soft, supple feel.
Undoubtedly, a waterproofing product is a great investment for anyone who is hoping to keep their case looking its best over time. This one-time expense will help you avoid having to buy a new case prematurely. Plus, waterproofing products are mostly affordable, and gets an observable difference, especially if you live in a wet climate.

4.Proper Storage

Here's the deal, you don't have to worry too much about proper storage for your leather phone case. That said, there are a few things you should keep in mind if you need to store it for a long time.
That said, you should still know how to store a genuine leather phone case properly. Leather is a natural substance that needs to "breathe" in order to maintain its look and feel. If you plan on storing your case for more than a month or so, never put it in an airtight container, as the buildup of moisture may cause discoloration and/or mildew. Additionally, you should keep your case out of direct sunlight and away from heat so it doesn't dry out and become brittle.
If you're going to be storing your leather case for any length of time, cover it with pillowcase or some other kind of breathable cloth.

5.Polishing

Polishing your leather phone case is kind of like polishing your shoes — you'll get that fresh, like-new look. And, if you're the type of person who loves customizing their gear, polishing your case can be a fun way to slightly alter the leather's color. However, it's important to note that polishing your case usually does get rid of the patina that comes naturally with age. So it's up to you whether you prefer the fresh, like-new look of a polished case or the well-worn and loved look of a non-polished case.

6.Avoiding Stains

Leather is porous, which means it’s absorbent. In other words: your genuine leather phone case can easily get stained. Keep your phone case looking as good as new by being mindful of where you put it. For example, if you’re eating dinner and using your phone, keep it off the table. Be aware of your surroundings, and if your case gets dirty, clean it quickly before the stain absorbs.

If you love your phone, treat it right with a genuine leather phone case. Not only will it protect your device from scratches, scuffs, and drops, it will also improve the overall look of your phone. A genuine leather phone case is the perfect accessory for anyone who wants to add a touch of class and sophistication to their everyday look.
