Twelve South has always made interesting and creative products that catch your eye and are innovative. Their newest product has certainly lived up to the Twelve South standard. The BookBook Case for iPhone is one of the best cases I have ever owned.
The BookBook for iPhone also incorporates a wallet into the case as well. Not only does this case hold your iPhone, but it also holds your ID, two credit cards and a small amount of cash. It’s not really large enough to replace an entire wallet, but it is great for a night out on the town or a lifesaver for those times when you forget your wallet.
The BookBook is made of genuine leather with a great distressed look. The book style of the case makes texting a little bit easier because the surface allows for better grip. It has also made reading books in apps like iBook easier. The leather surrounding gives the phone protection from dropping and scratching when the cover is shut.
As with any case, it does have a few drawbacks but nothing that really prevents it from being an amazing case. One drawback is that, in order to keep the look of a book, there is no back hole for the rear camera.
To take a picture you need to actually push the phone from the bottom out of the case to reveal the camera. This makes taking quick pics a pain but something you can get used to. There is also a little bulk added to the phone, but heck, your back pocket thanks you because it’s also a wallet.
