Here are the criteria:

1. It’s for an iPhone 4.
2. $50 or less because I’ll be upgrading to the 5 at some point and will have to buy a new case then.
3. I’d like it to be brown leather, but not one of those “sleeve” cases where you remove the phone entirely every time you use it.
4. It’s good quality and gets good online reviews.

It’s 59 here but I’m sure you can find it on sale somewhere.

Also like the bookbook very much. No wallet now, just the bookbook.
