Twelve South BookBook for iPhone 4/4S

  There are a few companies that just dish out products that look seamlessly beautiful,Twelve South is one of those companies. Twelve South is known for making some of the most stylish and unique products for Apple devices. One of them is the BookBook for iPhone 4/4S,Also available for  iPad 2, MacBook Air, & MacBook Pro. Generally retailing for $60 but defiantly cheaper on other sites. (E.g. Amazon,eBay, and perhaps craigslist.) Hand made out of genuine leather,This case has a strong aroma of leather,In a good way of course. 

While you may be like many others like myself who find it very easy to be turned off by these flip style cases,You'll have a tricky time not being enticed by the BookBook. As insatiable of a need you may have to purchase this case by now,Trust me we are just getting started. As obvious as it may be,The BookBook is meant to resemble old vintage books that you would see in your local library or perhaps grandmothers house. While it pulls the vintage-distressed look off impressively you may be surprised to learn it also doubles as a wallet case with 1 ID card slot and 2 other card slots and one larger slot for cash,This should take some ease out of your life and kill two birds with one stone,Not literally of course - That would be inhumane, especially for review purposes.
Twelve South did a grea...Scratch that..Magnificent job designing this extremely beautiful case,Although like any other case this too has flaws or areas to improve. One of those being a camera cut out.Using the camera on your phone shouldn't be a huge deal,Simply lift your case up about an inch or so and snap a photo and voilá your done,That is if the leather band that usually retains the headset of your iPhone doesn't bother you. But if you never really use your camera on you iPhone in the first place then it shouldn't really be an issue for you,However if you are constantly taking photos on your iPhone, Don't fret! There are many tutorials on creating a camera cut out online. 


The BookBook is overall an amazing case,With unique features from other wallet style cases with the genuine leather and hand crafted build as well as the book like looks. During testing I couldn't let the BookBook out of my hands,It felt so nice and comfortable. I enjoyed this case so much that it will be taking over as my permanent case unless I'm testing another case.One draw back I found is that you can be mistaken for having or reading a small bible.Other then that I highly recommend this case to anyone,Even if you don't like or never tried a wallet style case!
