There are literally hundreds of thousands of iPhone cases on the market these days; from hard shells to soft rubber cases, there’s something to suit almost every style and personality. Admittedly, while they’re great for accessorizing and brightening up your handset, they’re not always practical when it comes to protection, which is why we were pretty excited to stumble across the Micro Field Bag.

Manufactured by Pad and Quill, a company who make beautifully crafted leather and canvas bags and laptop cases, the Micro Field Bag has all the benefits of the original Field Bag, but in miniature. Made from full grain leather, 18oz waxed canvas and stitched together with the same thread that’s used in parachute construction, it’s pretty obvious that this case is made from tougher stuff than your average bumper case.

Designed to completely enclose your iPhone, the Micro Field Bag features a secure snap closure and will protect from bumps, knocks and even scratches to the screen – something that other cases don’t necessarily do. As well as the protection issue, there’s also the added bonus that it’s a beautifully practical piece of kit; there’s an access hole for headphones, meaning that you can still listen to music even when the case is fully closed. Our personal favourite element, though, is the fact that they’ve also squeezed in three slots for multiple credit cards or cash – as well as being an iPhone case, the Micro Field Bag also manages to store those essentials from your wallet.

Visually, we love it. Designed to be rugged but beautiful, there’s a choice of three colours; charcoal grey, olive and navy blue, all finished off with whiskey leather, and embellished with a cherry wood ampersand in the centre of the top flap. It manages to be compact enough to fit in a small pocket, tough enough to withstand some big knocks, and still be aesthetically pleasing – everything an iPhone case should be.
