Samsung Galaxy S9+ OEM Alcantara Case Cover - Mint Green | Premium Protective Phone Case for Galaxy S9 Plus | Perfect for Work, Travel & Everyday Use

This is, without question, one of the most luxurious cases I've ever had on a cell phone. Alcantara is of course the luxury material used most often in the interiors of high end sports cars and custom cars. My new Microsoft Surface laptop has it on the keyboard deck of the machine. Prior to purchasing the Surface laptop I did a lot of research on Alcantara as I was concerned about its life span and keeping it clean. What I found is that its so robust that it can only be cut with a laser... scissors will not work. And it can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a little (mild) soap. So when I decided to purchase the Alcantara case for the S9+ I had no doubt it would work fine. My Galaxy is the deep blue color so I gravitated tot he blue Alcantara case. Of course the only part of the phone you can see is the bottom edge where the speaker, headphone jack and USB-C connector are... but none-the-less, it looks very nice.The case actually has a nice amount of grip to it. This is not a case that will slip out of one's hand. The function buttons look to be metal and are a very dark blue. They work very well and have a pretty soft touch to them. Their is plenty of room as well at the bottom for the USB-C, headphone jack to fit without touching any of the fabric. Their is no impediment to the speaker either. The top lip and the two bottom corners rise above the screen (even with a glass screen protector on... as I have) so you can lay the phone on the screen side without the screen coming in contact with any surface. On the back side of the case the camera, sensor and flash/heart rate sensor are separated by a plastic frame that is "welded" to the material. It's very well done and protects those elements while laying flat (on the same level) as the fabric. So the frame doesn't stick out. A nice touch in terms of detail. The Samsung name/logo are laser etched into the fabric just below the finger print sensor. In the case of the blue Alcantara case the Samsung name seems to be in black, although that just may be the color of the fabric once you laser etch it. The interior of the case is also covered in Alcantara for extra protection for the glass phone back. The case itself is fairly stiff so should provide good drop protection should one ever drop the phone.The only thing I have noticed in the day or so I have had it on the phone is that it does pick up little specs of debris on the fabric. That said, all I have done is rub over it with my hand or on my jeans leg and anything on the case comes right off. After all, it is a fabric and will pick up little pieces of dust and debris. All-in-all, this is a beautiful case... with a very rich blue color. The quality is outstanding and I suspect with minimal care it will last a very long time. I would absolutely recommend this case if you are looking to have an extremely high end/high quality case on the phone. No doubt it will garner some attention.
