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. Its neutral tan color will begin to fade into a lighter, more beige-like color. Granted, some people prefer the look of faded leather, but others want to keep the original look of their leather products. So, how can you protect your leather from sun fading?

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? While we don’t have an official answer to this question, LG has begun sending out invitations for an April 28th announcement, which we believe will be used to announce the leather-clad G4 smartphone. 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. So, what kind of features can you expect to see in the upcoming LG G4? The device will reportedly be available in several different variants, including an all-metal body, and a body style with a leather back (see image above).
