Glass Camera Control
An integrated glass button provides the same high-fidelity response as your iPhone's own sensor. Tactile precision through the rugged construction — every photography feature accessible naturally.
Authentic Horween Leather
Sustainably sourced and minimally treated USA leather develops a rugged patina over time. Rather than correcting blemishes, we embrace them as signs of a life well-lived — the leather looks better the more you use it.
Fortified Perimeter
The TPU camera ring and reinforced corners act as a structural shield. Raised edges (1.85 mm sides, 1.11 mm bottom) ensure your screen and lenses stay guarded from surface contact and scratches.
Smarter MagSafe
Equipped with nickel-plated neodymium magnets delivering up to 1100 gf of pull — a remarkable hold for a leather case at this drop rating. Flawless compatibility with MagSafe and Qi2 chargers, plus a recessed anchor for wrist straps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rugged Leather vs Modern Leather (Horween)?
Modern Leather is the slimmer daily option (10 ft drop). Rugged Leather is the heavier-duty version (15 ft drop) with a thicker TPU bumper and reinforced corners. Pick Modern Leather for slim daily use; Rugged Leather if you regularly drop your phone or work in tough environments.
How does the leather hold up to rough use?
Horween is exceptionally durable — the same leather used in NFL footballs and luxury watch straps. Rough use accelerates the patina rather than damaging the leather. The protective frame underneath handles the impact while the leather develops character.
Is it bulky?
It's substantial without being unwieldy. The 3.3 mm TPU bumper and reinforced corners add real thickness compared to the Modern series, but the leather wrap and refined edges keep it from feeling bulky in pocket or hand.
How strong is the MagSafe hold?
Excellent — 1100 gf pull. The Pro Max is heavy, and the magnet array supports it cleanly with mounts and chargers, including stronger upgrades like vehicle vent mounts and bedside chargers.
Does the leather develop patina even on the rugged case?
Yes — the leather is full-grain Horween, not coated. It develops the same character patina as the slim Modern Leather case, just over a more rugged frame. Marks buff into a rich, lustrous finish over weeks.
15-foot defence. 100-day patina.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch.
These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds.
The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one.
My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.
