Our Verdict
The $70 Sena Sarach Flip is a stitched leather flip-folio case for the iPhone 4, available in black, red, brown, or tan. The case has a top-flip magnetic cover which keeps the iPhone’s screen securely protected when closed, while cut-outs along the sides allow for easy access to the device’s ports, buttons, and camera.
The interior of the cover theoretically provides space for a credit card or two, but I was unable to fit either my transit card or a credit card more than halfway inside it—I had more luck slipping cards into the back interior of the case itself.
My only real complaint with the case—besides the increased bulk—is that the leather sides occasionally interfere when trying to type or swipe along the screen’s edges. The velvet interior also allows your iPhone to slide in and out a little too easily for my comfort, and the device could easily slip out if held upside-down with the cover open.
Those issues aside, the case is well-crafted, durable, and makes a nice addition for your iPhone 4.
