The case is decent, but the leather and wood on the back feel like the material you'd find in a budget shelf from IKEA.
The design is fantastic and the case of high, durable quality. However, it’s bulky and doesn’t quite have that form fit. It’s close, but the edges aren’t clean. I’m using it and will continue to do so, but I’m not excited, per se, about it.
Convient très bien sur mon telephone, très bonne qualité, Je suis Satisfaite :)
Love these phone cases! This is my third one ive bought since my iphone 12, iphone 14 and now my new iphone 16. They’ve all lasted working on a ranch and in the resturant industry. Great cases.
This was my third time purchasing a case from Keyway, having been very happy with the quality and design of the previous two cases. Unfortunately, the quality of this case was significantly lower than expected. I am not sure what has happened in the last years that the quality has gone down so much. They also included some promotional stickers with the case, I am not sure what to do with these other than throw them out; it's unnecessary additional waste and plastic.
Hi Alannah,
Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that this variety didn't meet your expectations! If you would like to set up a return, please reach out and we can work that out. This being a public review though, I would love to clarify a few things. The materials and structure of the 'shell' part of our cases has not changed in many years. The same TPU/Polycarbonate combination with knurled grip is used, but we have improved the overall build with the addition of magsafe compatible magnet arrays and a microfibre liner. The particular design you've purchased is different than your previous orders though. This design is a print on a cotton canvas backer, as opposed to a engraving on a painted walnut veneer of your previous order, so there will definitely be some fundamental differences to the look and feel of the design. If you're looking for something more in-line with your Cross Country and original Blossom cases, I would stick with the designs that are lasercut veneer instead of canvas. I hope that helps!
This case is fantastic. Fits well, doesn’t add a ton of extra weight and feels good in the hand.
Looks great and fits perfect. Comfortable in the hand and the colour is gradually changing.
Really nice case, has a premium feel for a good price. Definitely will by more so I can alternate.
When I first got this case I really liked it. Within days it became clear the material was cheap. Anything in the pocket scratches the leather and it is discoloring in places.
Hi Chris, Thank you for your review and feedback, I'm sorry to hear that the case wasn't what you were expecting! With that said, the wear you are experiencing is what is expected for this type of leatherand for this case. As outlined in the product description and listing photos, the leather used on these cases is a Full-Grain Oil Tanned hide which is intended to develop a patina over time, show scratches, and change colour. The type of leather you might be looking for is a Chrome Tanned, corrected-grain leather with a scratch resistant coating, similar to an upholstry leather. Feel fre to reach back out if you have any questions about leather options!

I really wanted to like this case. The leather is really nice. But it was impossible to use the mute switch on the phone since the hole was tiny. I kept having to remove the case just to mute my phone. So I no longer use the case.
I have been buying Keyway since the 12. Every case I get is a keyway. And I love them always. They are slim enough, look good enough and have no downside.
This is my second leather case from Keyway. The first was “slate.” It had about a week of patina before it just turned black.
So I bought the whiskey one. It had about 3 weeks of patina before it too just became an almost-black brown. .
I’m pretty sure these are likely just chemically treated so it gives you a patina early but then just keeps going until it becomes black. Does not at all behave nor age like natural leather.

A little slippery to hold, the case could benefit from a slightly rougher edge or ridges to keep the phone under control
I've had this case on my phone for the last four years or so. It still looks great. I have worn the leather smooth but my phone has survived a number of falls in the case.
The leather quality is very cheap not strongest like my first explore case by keyway

I bought the same exact case again for my new phone, because it’s just so slick. The texture of the materials, with the wood detail- so beautiful, and had I not upgraded my phone, the original case I bought would still be in use. It survived two years of rigorous use, and barely even looks worn. Apple just upgraded the camera, and the old case no longer fit. All the keyway cases are beautiful. It’s really hard to pick, but the K1 camera is sort of my signature phone look. Love it.
I like the feel and it fits so good and the looks for sure 👍
Wood case looks good, I had one from this company when their logo used to be a golden K (I preferred that one but not a big deal) for my iPhone 10xr. I got a new one from keyway for my new iPhone 14 and right out of the box I noticed some of the wood pieces were not glued in or formed properly so bits are sticking out if that makes sense. Specifically the tips of the trees are coming out and poking me. Not that big of a deal but I don’t think this case will last much longer and will probably snag on things like my pocket and the tips of the trees will pop out
Well crafted and stylish. Support is phenomenal. Highly recommended.
