Naturally, you’ll want to protect that large screen and expensive investment. We covered some of the best overall cases for the iPhone 11 Pro Max, but if leather is your thing, here are some great protective case options for the smartphone made of premium leather materials.

Made of soft, handmade PU leather and a gold electroplated frame, this case is perfect for anyone who wants their leather fix without having to buy a full-on wallet-style case. It’s lightweight and fairly thin, although it offers a good level of grip, thanks to its luxury texture. The combination of PU leather and underlying TPU means that it will stay in one piece after falls and impacts, while the leather back will stand up to scrapes. Importantly, it also includes precise cutouts for the iPhone 11 Pro Max’s buttons and ports, while it’s easy to slip on and off the phone.

You’ll get iPhone-specific features, too, such as opening the case to automatically wake the phone and closing it to put it to sleep. It has a space to hold cash, small notes, and cards, and the case can stay on the phone while wirelessly charging.

It’s a slim fit design case that offers simple protection along with good grip, so the phone won’t slide out of your hands. A raised lip lift further helps protect the phone’s screen, and a camera cutout means you can still comfortably snap photos or shoot video while the phone is housed inside.
