A black crocodile phone case in genuine skin from France, matte finish
The back of the case is a single panel of genuine crocodile skin from France. It is real exotic skin, not embossed leather and not a printed pattern, so every scale has its own depth and edge. Large squarish and rectangular scales of uneven size sit in staggered rows, broken by narrow bands of fine, pebbled grain, with soft rounded grooves between the tiles and fine natural creases inside each one.
The finish is matte black. The skin carries no lacquer gloss, only a faint, dry sheen on the tops of the scales, so the pattern shows through texture and side light rather than shine. Because the pattern comes from the skin itself, the size and layout of the scales are unique to each case and differ from the photos.
A full-width camera window in a raised gold-tone metal surround
The top of the case back is one open camera window that spans the width of the case inside the black rim, so the whole camera plateau of the iPhone stays uncovered. A raised, polished gold-tone metal surround frames the window and stands proud of the back, and the crocodile panel begins directly beneath it with a straight top edge.
A TPU and polycarbonate shell with gold-tone metal buttons
The crocodile panel is inset in a shell of TPU and polycarbonate and runs edge to edge inside a matte black bumper frame, with no stitching. The frame wraps all four edges of the phone with softly rounded corners and rises into a thin lip. The volume buttons and the side button are gold-tone metal, matching the camera surround against the black frame. The case is a single shell, with no card slot, strap, ring or flip cover.
MagSafe compatible, for iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro models
The case is MagSafe compatible, so it works with MagSafe chargers, wallets and mounts while the phone stays in the case, and the crocodile back stays clean, with no ring printed on or cut into the skin. It is made for the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, and each case is cut for the model you choose, with the camera window and the buttons placed for that phone.

Caring for matte genuine crocodile skin
- Wipe the back with a soft, dry cloth; a soft, dry brush lifts dust from the grooves between the scales.
- Keep it away from water. If it gets wet, blot it at once and let it dry at room temperature, away from heaters and direct sun.
- Avoid solvents, alcohol-based cleaners and the creams, oils or waxes made for ordinary leather, which can leave a shine on the matte finish and settle into the grooves.
- Buff the gold-tone camera surround and buttons with a dry microfiber cloth to lift fingerprints.
