Autograph The Best

Steve Jobs may have intended the iPhone to be carried naked because of its Good Design, but he probably didn’t take into consideration the elements, butter fingers and our need to luxe things up. Thankfully we have a few designers who understand our needs and Truffol is one of them. Sexing up the iPhone5 / 5S and the Samsung GalaxyS4 is a much easier thing thanks to their latest Personalized Leather Skin Series called the Autograph.

For those who are picky about details (call it the Jobs Hangover), then you’ll love to know that the Autograph sources exclusively imported cowhide, from Santa Crocesull’Arno in Italy, trimmed to an incredible thickness of 0.6mm. The leather retains its pebble-grained texture, which apparently a big element in its design.

Autograph’s stainless steel inlay logo is electroplated with 18-karat Rose Gold on select leather colors. You can pick from the Standard and Card variants; the Standard variant affords a slim profile where as the Card variant accommodates up to one credit card or driver’s license.

As a special gesture, Truffol customizes the Autograph range by providing the embossing of (up to) three letters on the cover. Needless to say, the bundle comes with a complimentary screen protector. I know I want mine embossed as RS, what about you?
