- p***i (239)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipped quickly. It was delivered from the post office in a plastic bag and said it had been damaged during shipping. The whole package was wet like it had been dipped in a pail of water. Even though the package was soaked the phone case seems ok. I have no idea how this happened. I still have not received the phone which I ordered elsewhere so I can't confirm that it fits. None of this was the fault of the seller and I like the case so far.Genuine Black Leather MagSafe iPhone 14 case for iPhone 14 (#387420976979)
