Before my iPhone X even arrived, I got the Benuo Vintage Book Series leather wallet case for it.
Benuo makes cases for lots of phones, and I have been impressed with their products. This one is a genuine leather wallet folio with a hard shell for the iPhone X, which you can spot by the vertical camera cutout. The distressed, tobacco-colored leather looks great, and it also works as a kickstand and a wallet. It is still listed on Amazon, and the button goes right to it.
- Rich, distressed tobacco-colored leather
- Works as a kickstand with adjustable angle
- Card slots turn it into a wallet
- Soft lining will not scratch the phone
- More protection than a snap-on case
- Bulkier than a simple case
- I had not used it with the phone yet in this first look

The hard shell
The phone sits in a brown hard case with cutouts for the volume and mute switch, a full cutout on top, the side or Siri button, and a full bottom cutout with an extra divot for the Lightning cable.
The vertical camera cutout is the telltale iPhone X sign. That shell alone looks like it would be a nice case, with a ridge around the camera.
The leather
The shell is attached to a distressed leather wallet folio. It has a little gloss, cut seams that look burned at the edges, and a rich tobacco-like color. I love it.
There are little branded plus and minus marks so you can press the buttons through the case.
Kickstand and wallet
There is a pressed ridge so you can fold the case back and use it as a kickstand, with some flexibility in the angle.
Angled slots inside hold business cards or credit cards, and the inside feels super smooth, so it will not scratch your phone.
Worth it?
You protect a phone that costs eleven or twelve hundred dollars, and you carry it in style. It gives a lot more protection than a snap-on shell by itself.
If you like the look of a vintage leather book, this is a great pick.
