Portraying itself as a high end luxury phone case - it's not. Build quality is OK. The most obvious fail is the fact that the cut-outs for the speakers at the bottom don't align with the speakers on the phone. The logo is not embossed, just painted on and looks a bit cheap. I expect will wear off too. The material is not leather-like, they call it plant-based leather, but it just feels like plastic. Perhaps it will soften up with use. The texture is nice and grippy and that's a big plus. The case fits well and feels like it will protect your phone.

I purchased the Travel Tech Kit for my coworkers for the holiday. All of the items are nice but I was hoping for a way to add a gift message (maybe I missed it?) and since it was a bundle I was expecting it to be packaged a little nicer than the three items bouncing around separately in a large shipping box. The shipping box for my "kit" was so large that it got damaged in transit and it just wasn't the "gift" experience I was hoping for. But again, the items are nice. The tech organizer is too small to hold my mac charge cord but it can hold most everything else I need.

Buyer beware! Purchasing direct from Native Union means that if it does arrive (my items did after 16 days), and for any reason you decide the products aren't right for you then you bear the (significant financial) burden of returning the items to Hong Kong, via France....this is not ideal in terms of convenience or, most importantly, environmental impact. I originally wrote this review in anticipation of the items going amiss in transit. I can confirm that the items did manage to wing their way back to where they needed to be so that I could receive my money back. As such I have amended my original 1 star review written in horror at the idea of having to return items across continents. I have now given three stars to reflect the arduity of the return process with this company overall as well as the variable quality in their products. Key to this is, for example, that I had to complete the returns questions three separate times for three separate operators! So, I maintain the hope that this review can serve as an authentic timeline for any unsuspecting shoppers, unaware of the significant commitment bestowed upon them by purchasing products from Native Union - which are just not really worth the hassle!

I had my native Union twin head 6.5ft lead as a gift in August. I had heard great things about the quality and was really pleased with the lead when I received it. The extra length was the selling factor for me as it’s easy to charge in my room as I only have two sockets available to me. Unfortunately only three months in my lead has broken, the iPhone charging piece has come away from the main body and became stuck in my phone! Really wanted to love this brand, but disappointed with the quality, for three months use. The present was bought in a independent boutique and so without the receipt the shop are unable to help.
