Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 555 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the excellent quality and craftsmanship of the products, particularly the genuine leather phone cases, which are noted for their durability, attractive appearance, and ability to age beautifully. Many consumers appreciate the superb protection these cases offer, often highlighting their longevity, sometimes outlasting the phones themselves. The ordering process is frequently described as easy, and the delivery service is generally fast and efficient, with products arriving well-packaged and as scheduled. However, some people were dissatisfied with specific issues. A few customers reported problems with product fit, such as camera lens protectors not fitting or cases being too tight, leading to damage. There were also instances of incorrect items being shipped, despite accurate labeling on the packaging, indicating a quality control issue. Additionally, a small number of reviewers experienced delays in delivery or found the adhesive holding the phone case to the leather cover came away after a couple of years.

Immediately cracked

Purchased a case and put it on. It was extremely tight fitting. Noticed the cut out for the charging port had immediately cracked. Contacted Snakehive to request a return as it was quite an expensive case and you wouldn’t expect to crack immediately. They refused the return request. Seriously? Never again. Absolutely disgusted.

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for your review, and I’m really sorry to hear about your experience.

I completely understand how frustrating this must have been, especially when you were expecting a high-quality product. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

We would really like the opportunity to look into this further for you and see how we can help. Please could you contact us directly at sales@snakehive.co.uk, and our team will be more than happy to assist.

Just to clarify, our returns policy does not cover items that are damaged or broken, which is why a return may not have been processed. However, we’d still very much like to review your case and see what we can do to support you.

We hope to hear from you soon and have the chance to make things right.

Best regards,
Team Snakehive

Wrong case

I ordered a Pixel 10 Pro XL case and received a case for a Pixel 10a. The difference isn’t subtle. The case is significantly smaller and the camera cutout doesn’t come close to lining up.
It’s completely unusable. What makes this worse is that the box is labeled Pixel 10 Pro XL, which means this isn’t a simple picking error; your quality control failed at multiple points. Instead of fixing the problem, your support team who I have been in contact with via email required me to take and submit several photos to prove something that is incredibly obvious. Before you respond and tell me to email you, I already have.
Customers should not be doing your quality control for you after you send the wrong product.
The case I received appears to be well made, but that’s irrelevant because it’s not the product I ordered, cannot be used, and there has been no resolution; no refund, replacement, or exchange has been provided. This was a frustrating and unnecessary experience.

My third case from Snakehive as well as…

My third case from Snakehive as well as having bought 2 for my Mum. Arrived promptly and the same top quality as the last two. My last one lasted for 5 years. I’m not sure if this one will do quite as well as I got a suede one instead of the vintage leather.

We’re delighted to hear your previous case lasted 5 years and that your new one arrived promptly with the same great quality. The suede finish does offer a slightly different feel compared to our vintage leather, but we hope you’ll still love how it looks and performs over time.

Looks lovely - but lasts about 2 years or so

I contrast to the many terrific reviews, I have now owned two Snakehive leather iphone cases.

Both have fallen prey to the adhesive holding the phone case to the leather cover coming away after a couple of years.

Whether this is normal ‘wear and tear’ for a phone case that is (for me at least) used to a normal level is a matter of opinion. But I would expect more than a couple of years from a product that is sold on quality.

To put it bluntly,I might as well buy a cheapo case from Amazon if that is the average lifespan of these cases.

I have stuck it back together using superglue, but I am disappointed to be having to do that so soon.

Quick and easy order process

Quick and easy order process. Love the tempered glass camera cover and the fact you get two! I picked the green leather case with a kickstand. It does the job but the kickstand could be a bit sturdier? The previous one I had was thicker, and I do think this one looks sleeker but functionally would be better a bit thicker imo. Feels lightweight and looks chic so deffos dont regret the buy and would buy again as quality appears good!

I love Snakehive cases since I first found them quite a while ago, I love being able to pick new colours to suit my moods Even if the inside is darker, the linings are sunshine. I have quite a few now. I don’t change them because they wear out but because I just feel like it
