Hi Paul, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent purchase, and we are very sorry to hear that you have experienced this issue. I can confirm that our cases are compatible with wireless charging and contactless payments. However, as all of our cases are handmade & due to the thickness of the premium leather we use to manufacture our cases, we are currently unable to guarantee that our range of iPhone cases will work in conjunction with all magnetic chargers, including the MagSafe wireless charger. When charging your iPhone using a magnetic or MagSafe wireless charger, we would recommend that you remove your phone from the case in order to optimize the wireless charging function. We would love to provide a solution for you so please do contact our Customer Services team directly at sales@snakehive.co.uk with your order details. We will look forward to hearing from you :) Kind Regards, Emily

“Initially I didn’t like the material or colour and didn’t think it felt like real leather. But it does smell like real leather and it feels quite thick so should be long lasting and provide good phone protection. The inner card pockets are stiff so holds cards safely, no fear of them dropping out. The only downside for me is the colour and look of wear. I went for the turquoise colour and just after a few days use, it looked quite battered and worn. Not looking new at all for long Perhaps a different colour will wear better but too expensive to buy again.”

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback, and we're so sorry to hear that you're not totally satisfied with your new case. Our Vintage Leather Wallet cases are made from genuine soft Nubuck leather and especially when new they will naturally show marks which will add to the character and over time the case will develop a rich patina. Wear on the cases will vary on each case depending on its use. To clean your case we recommend that you carefully wipe the cover with a nubuck or similar soft cloth using a circular motion. Brush with a nubuck brush to remove dirt and dust. Spray with a nubuck cleaner, from leather retailers or online, and work well into the leather. Allow to dry thoroughly and then use brush to restore the nap to its original condition. We would love to provide a solution for you so please do contact our Customer Services team directly at sales@snakehive.co.uk with your order details. We will look forward to hearing from you :). Kind Regards, Emily

“Very good quality however front cover slightly bent so case doesn't close completely ,hoping leather will soften over time , and charging port cut out is not perfectly positioned so lead catches some times”

“Case good and nice colour but the case won’t fold comfortably in the hand to take a call. Its very stiff and won’t also fold to watch a video. The top cover also bowed upwards with is annoying. Rather disappointing overall.”

“Not too happy with the initial description, it does not say nubuck and as a working male it marks easily. Would not have purchased if known at the time.”

“I love the snakehive phone case , it looks good and is good quality. This is my second one but unfortunately it’s going to have to go as my phone ( iPhone 12) will now not charge via wireless charging. I’m not sure if they have changed the design since my previous one as that used to charge fine , maybe it’s the phone?”

Hi Peter, Thank you for your message and for your purchase with us. I'm very sorry to hear that you are unable to use your wireless charger with your new iPhone 12 case. Historically our cases have always been compatible with wireless charging and contactless payments. However, as all of our cases are handmade & due to the thickness of the premium leather we use to manufacture our cases, we are currently unable to guarantee that our range of iPhone 12 cases will work in conjunction with all magnetic chargers, including the MagSafe wireless charger. It is for this reason that we do not advertise our iPhone 12 cases as wireless charging compatible. When charging your iPhone using a magnetic or MagSafe wireless charger, we would recommend that you remove your phone from the case in order to optimize the wireless charging function. I hope that this information is helpful however please don't hesitate to contact us directly with any further feedback or enquiries. Kind Regards, Emily Snakehive

Hi Ms Rogers, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback on your recent purchase with us, and I'm sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with your new case. I can confirm that we have not changed our manufacturing process and the card slots will be the same size as your previous case, however it is worth noting that the leather on your previous case would have stretched over time and with use. As your most recent case is new, the leather may need a bit of time to stretch that you can insert and remove your cards with ease. If you have any further feedback or enquiries, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Services team directly at sales@snakehive.co.uk. Kind Regards, Emily Snakehive

“Although I think the product is very nice I’m still perplexed as to why I need to let the suede rub off to reveal the leather. It’s not budging much & I can see it’s going to take a long time. I really wanted a leather case & im feeling slightly disgruntled at the minute. Would I buy again on this basis .. no I’m sorry I wouldn’t.”

“Whilst the customer service was great, am sorry to say that I’m not impressed with my case at all I’m afraid. I didn’t realise it was suede (and the display pictures make it look like normal leather) and to say it’s not wearing well is an understatement. I used the suede brush this morning to try and improve the back & front cover (but to no avail) , and have already used a suede spray reviver in black which has ended up discolouring the inside of the case-as per the pictures below. Unfortunately wouldn’t purchase another case and my husband won’t now be making a purchase either”

“Generally the product is good and the iPhone fits well except for one thing. There is a transparent plastic strip that keeps the phone in place. This is OK but the standby button on the phone does not work well when you have to press it through the strip. There is no"feel" and you don't know whether you have activated the switch or not. It was a reasonable price and was delivered quickly”

Hi William, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback on your recent purchase with us. As the plastic phone holder (TPU) is new, it may be a little stiff to start off with however over time and with use, the plastic will become more soft and pliable so that you can press the buttons with ease. Please do kindly update our Customer Services team directly if you have any further feedback or enquiries: sales@snakehive.co.uk :) Kind Regards, Emily Snakehive
