The In-Genius leather iPhone case by Tuff-Luv has several features. First, there is a reinforced screen cover flap. On the inside of the screen cover are two slots to hold cards or cash. Second, is the tab fastener for the flap that both holds the flap securely fastened, and can be used to quickly eject the contents of one of the inner slots. Last is the slim line hard shell base that holds the phone securely in place.

Using the product
This is an attractive well built case although one friend who saw it did not like the silver TL logo insignia placed on the outside. The snap closure is very secure and well built and gives the feeling that it will not come apart or be short-lived. The stitching is neat and well done. The hard shell case that composes the bottom of the case is covered in the same material as the flap so it looks the same and is easy to grip. The inside of the hard shell is covered in something soft so it does not scratch the phone. It is also easy to insert and remove the iPhone.
The case is ⅝-in thick. The tab-pull that allows easy removal of a card or cash from the upper slot on the inside of the screen cover is quite ingenious and handy. I’ve not seen that in any case before and it certainly simplifies the whole process of digging out a credit card quickly when needed.
Do I recommend it?
I do. If you want or need a case that provides complete coverage for your phone but allows fairly easy access this one might just be what you are looking for.
