Top Tips to Protect Leather From Sun Fading

If you’ve ever owned a leather jacket or accessory, you’re probably well aware of what happens when it’s exposed to sunlight for any prolonged length of time.

There’s no better way to accessorize your genuine leather jacket than with a leather-clad smartphone. While many smartphone cases are made with leather, few handsets feature this luxurious material. However, that may soon change, as LG is preparing to launch its first leather-clad flagship smartphone, the G4. Most smartphone companies announce their latest devices at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) event. But this event has already come and gone for 2015, leaving some people asking the question: why didn’t LG unveil their G4?

Unique leather shell smartphone As noted by TechRadar, “We’ve received an invite for an LG announcement on April 28 and it doesn’t mess around with what we can expect, stating ‘LG invites you to the official unveiling of LG G4.’ You’re not going to get clearer than that.” That’s a pretty definitive statement that indicates LG is in fact preparing to unveil its G4 smartphone.
