Pros: - Good protection of back without getting in the way.
- Thin material, so it doesnt add extra weight and bulk
- Well cut, holes for camera and all buttons/ports/speakers in perfect place.
- Sticks very well even on the corners and its still 100% removable.
- Material feels nice to touch, it says 100% genuine leather and it feels/smells like real leather.
- Etched (using laser?) logo and text on back looks nice.
- Has better grip against clothing, so doesnt accidentally slide out of my pocket so easily.
- Comes with screen protector for front, and a nice little cleaning cloth.

Cons: - Apple logo is cut out, looks cool, but it means the logo can get scratched.
- Its harder to install than expected. Came with no install instructions, just a small square of plastic with "installation card" written on it. There were only removal instructions printed on the box. I put it on crooked the first time and had to peel it back off. I think it might have stretched slightly when I did that so the corner is slightly out of shape. It did sorta relax back to its original shape after a while, so not much complaint.
- It offers a little less grip against skin than the normal back of iPhone, maybe its easier to slip out of hand?

Other Thoughts: This is a HardCE IMAT II for iPhone:

You can try putting tape or some clear protection over the apple logo before you install it if you worry about the logo being scratched. The cover looks different to the product photos, check out my uploaded pics to see the one I got.
I didnt use the screen protector that came with it because its plastic and doesnt feel as slick to touch as the default glass.

Bottomline: Its a thin, clean, nicely cut piece of leather with some amazing 3M adhesive on it which attaches nicely to the back of Iphone for protection. Get it if you want to add light weight, good looking protection.

Ownership verified by DX Pretty good!

Pros: This is the Hardce iMat II for iPhone. Covers the whole back. Very easy to apply. Edges seem to stick farely well (so far). Adds protection and grip to the iPhone. Classy looking too. The leather feels nice, but probably not genuine leather but looks and feels like it.
Comes with front crystal protector, application card, and dust cloth.

Cons: Would look cleaner if there wasn't an apple logo cutout.

Other Thoughts: The back says iPhone and Hardce at the bottom. Very good coverage of the back. This adds complete protection for the item.

Bottomline: Great item, good value. Recommended. Be the first to have this item!
