Bought a Burgundy iPhone 17 pro case…

Bought a Burgundy iPhone 17 pro case which wore down within two weeks. Customer service handled the issue swiftly. A new one was sent but after a few days of light use, same problem. Conclusion: very poor quality casing.

I like my new case but am unhappy about the "hidden" tariff fees

I ordered a new iPhone 16 Pro case from Decoded not realizing it was shipping from Europe. I later returned to read the page for the item on their website and there it was...the small print regarding tariffs that "may be" added to the cost of the item. The case arrived in good time but no import duties were charged until, one MONTH later FedEx notified me that I owed them another 45 dollars for tariff and customs fees. This seemed rather steep given the item was 60 dollars. While I like the case, had the additional tariffs been clearly noted on their website I probably would not have ordered it. While Trump's tariff wars are clearly to blame, being paid by the consumer despite his assertions otherwise, Decoded should have made things clearer - they did not!

Dear Lizabeth,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it is to receive unexpected import and customs charges after delivery, especially when they arrive weeks later.

Our products are shipped from the Netherlands, and while we offer free shipping, import duties and customs fees are determined by local authorities and collected directly by FedEx. These charges are outside our control and are not received by us. At the time of your order, this information was noted on our website, including on the product page. That said, we regret that this wasn’t clear enough beforehand.

Your feedback is taken seriously, and we try to improve visibility of information that international orders may incur additional duties. We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the case itself and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

Kind regards,

Mathijs | DECODED

This is a cleverly designed iPhone…

This is a cleverly designed iPhone wallet. And the concept of making the case enclosing the iPhone separable from the wallet cover is brilliant. Unfortunately, the connection between the enclosing case and the wallet itself is not secure and, if one holds onto the wallet without also securing the enclosing case, the iPhone falls to the ground, depending on the height, possibly hard. Don't rely on this case to protect your iPhone.

DECODED messes up U.S. mailing addresses

DECODED sent an invoice to me stating my correct shipping address then sent a note stating they shipped the case to NOT that address. They haven’t responded to my 2nd note about incorrect shipping address. The first was to let me know the email was not monitored by a person. And now they send me this How Did We Do email. I’d give it an F.

It's a great product

It's a great product. Specifically, the magnet.
My partner placed the phone on top of the car when he was need to zip his jacket. He sits in the car, and drove away. The phone was still on the top of the car, when he reached his destination.
The product cost much more, than expected, on the end. Taxes, shipping and duty. $35 CA just a duty😒, but it worth it.

No free shipping because you pay customs fees

If you live in the United States, this is an international transaction and there is no free shipping since the company passes on the customs fees of $54.00 to the you, the customer. Complete rip off! Very regretful purchase!

Dear LuAnn,

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that unexpected FedEx charges are frustrating and apologize for the inconvenience.

As stated on multiple sections on our website, import duties and customs fees for international shipments are determined by local authorities and charged directly by the courier. Unfortunately, these fees are outside of our control and are the responsibility of the recipient.

We aim to communicate this as clearly as possible and we’re sorry that you did not come across this information during the purchasing process.

I hope this helps clarify the situation. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions via support@decoded.nl

Kind regards,

Dear Sin,

According to the track & trace, the package has succesfully been delivered last Friday January 16th at 14.34PM.

Due to poor weather conditions during the period of your order, some delays occurred with the carriers in delivering parcels. This is something we have little control over and is considered force majeure for both us and the carrier. I understand that it’s frustrating to have had to wait so long for your package, and I hope for a bit of understanding.

In any case, I hope you’re happy with your new case and wish you lots of enjoyment with it!

Kind regards,

Mathijs | DECODED

High quality phone case

High quality phone case. The delivery came well packaged and relatively in good time. I really love the design and feel of the case and it’s very premium! It was also one of the only cases I found that cover the camera (Iphone 17promax model) and don’t look tacky or cheap. Highly recommended for premium classic cases !

Disappointing durability for a €50 case

The case looks great out of the box. After only three weeks of normal use, the leather started wearing off at the edges. Now, after three months, it looks like it’s been through years of heavy abuse. I work in an office environment and handle my phone with care, it’s either in my pocket, on my desk, or in my hand. So this level of degradation is completely unacceptable for a premium product.

Good quality

It has amazing quality, it doesn’t feel cheap at all and has resistance. It feels like thick leather and it’s very hard to take off which is really good when you drop your phone or anything. It worth the money I can tell it will last me for YEARS. It has a sleek lol as well and very aesthetic.

I am very happy & satisfied with decoded !

For years, I used genuine Apple cases. They would get damaged for the slightest reason, often in less than a month. Your cases are significantly more durable; in addition, they are very tasteful and elegant.

Furthermore, I needed to ask a question and request some help, and your response was immediate and truly helpful.

Based on all of the above, I am very satisfied.

Thank you very much!

It's been a week since the order…

It's been a week since the order arrived at DHL Lisbon, and today is January 8th and they still haven't delivered the item, which is a shame. I don't feel like buying anything from your website anymore with such a bad delivery service.
