I am impressed with the look and feel of the soft brown leather of the strap. No break-in required here. The strap is cosmetically flawless and very soft and pliable. The laser etched dragon on purple-heart wood makes it even more special. It is just what I needed for my new Purple Nebula Magistic John Petrucci signature guitar. :-) Thalia products never disappoint.

I've had it a few months now and it is holding up very well. The sides have a nice textured surface for grip (though I've managed to drop it a couple times and it has protected the phone just fine!). The inlayed logo looks very cool and has not suffered any real damage. I was kind of concerned about this, but with the exception of a few minor surface scratches, it still looks terrific. I do not baby this thing. It gets tossed on my workbench, etc. and keeps on looking good. Nice cushioning on the sides and just enough edge to help protect the screen, but not be obtrusive.
If you want something unique and durable - you've found it. Thanks, Thalia.

Beautiful

Bought the Purpleheart and Mother of Pearl Dove phone case for my wife...she absolutely loves it. The wood colouration is fabulous and the Mother of Pearly inlay dove is perfect!

I ordered the Black Ebony with Hawaiian Koa OM inlay for my Galaxy S9...it's beautiful! Not sure how resilient it's going to be though, the Ebony has bulged and developed a crack between the inlay and the camera lens. It still looks great and I'll keep it on the phone for as long as it lasts...
