Leronza Exotic Leather Collection: Which Crocodile Design Comes on Each Gold Phone, and What It Costs

Exotic Leather is the Leronza collection where crocodile leather is set into a plated back panel in 24K Gold, Rose Gold or Platinum. It runs across seven phone lines and the gold iPhone case range. The catch is that the collection does not use the same four designs everywhere. The iPhones get one set of names, the Samsung phones get a different set, and some names, WildGrace in particular, describe quite different backs depending on the phone underneath.

Our earlier guide to exotic leather, mother of pearl and carbon fibre on the iPhone 18 Pro compared the three materials on one phone. This one stays with leather and follows it across every phone that carries it: which designs exist on which device, what each design looks like on each phone, what each one costs today, and where the practical differences are in colour, charging and sending in your own phone. Every detail comes from the live product pages, and every price below is pulled live from the catalogue.

Which design comes on which phone

Each phone line has four Exotic Leather designs, but they are drawn from a pool of six names. Exotic Noble appears only on Apple devices. WildGrace Link appears only on Samsung. Knots & Leather is a Samsung design that also exists as an iPhone case. Exotic Royale is the only design available on every line.

Two things follow from this. If you have set your heart on a particular look, check that it exists on your phone before choosing the phone. And if you are comparing an iPhone with a Samsung, the closest match is not always the design with the same name, as the next section shows.

What each design looks like, phone by phone

The descriptions below are condensed from the individual product pages. Where a design changes from one phone to another, the differences are listed.

WildGrace

On the iPhones, WildGrace is the leather-first design. On the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max almost the whole back is black crocodile leather, with the scales running the length of the phone, inside a plated border. The iPhone Air version covers the back almost edge to edge, with a plated Apple logo sitting directly on the leather, a polished plated camera plateau and a small GoldPrivé nameplate at the base. On the iPhone Duo, almost the entire back plate is one panel of black crocodile, outlined by a slim metal border that meets a signature plaque at the bottom.

On the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra, WildGrace is a different design. The leather becomes a band pinched at its centre between two fields of finely pyramid-textured metal, each meeting the hide along a chevron edge. The Fold8 page describes it as an hourglass of hide. It shows far more metal than the iPhone WildGrace, and it is closer in spirit to the iPhone’s WildGrace Victory. The Galaxy S26 Ultra has no design called WildGrace.

WildGrace Link (Samsung only)

This is the Samsung answer to the leather-first iPhone WildGrace. On the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra, black crocodile covers nearly the whole back, outlined by a slim plated border, and a heavy curb-style chain runs down the right-hand side in your chosen metal. On the S26 Ultra the leather runs right up around the cameras. If you want the most leather on a Samsung, this is the design to look at.

WildGrace Victory

The metal-forward leather design, built around textured plating. It changes noticeably by phone:

• iPhone 18 Pro: a broad band of grid-textured plating across the top of the back, with black crocodile filling the rest.
• iPhone Duo: grid texture at the top and the bottom, with a horizontal band of black crocodile across the centre.
• iPhone Air: leather set between two hobnail-textured plated sections that meet it in chevrons, forming an arrow.
• Galaxy S26 Ultra: a wide band of black crocodile between two finely textured sections, each ending in a pointed chevron.

The Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra do not carry WildGrace Victory, but their WildGrace, described above, follows a very similar pattern.

Exotic Noble (Apple only)

The tailored design: leather framed the way a jeweller frames a stone. On the iPhone 18 Pro, a tall panel of black crocodile is enclosed on every side by plating, with a small emblem beneath the camera plateau that can be swapped for initials through the customisation service. On the iPhone Air, the leather panel sits between finely ribbed plated rails beneath a polished section that points down in a chevron. On the iPhone Duo, the crocodile sits in a ribbed gold border.

Exotic Royale (every line)

The ornate design. A band of engraved baroque scrollwork sits around or above the camera, with crocodile leather beneath it. On the iPhone 18 Pro, two small fixings mark where the metal meets the leather, and initials or a date can be engraved on the band. The iPhone Air version adds a polished chevron band and side rails with small screw fixings, and the product page calls it the most ornate leather design made for the Air. On the Samsung lines, the S26 Ultra, Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra versions are shown with brown crocodile leather rather than black.

Knots & Leather (Samsung and cases)

Built around personalisation. On the Galaxy S26 Ultra, about two-thirds of the back is a raised lattice of interlaced metal strips, with the cameras set into it. A slim polished divider separates the weave from a vertical strip of black crocodile on the right, and that divider is reserved for your name or initials. The Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra follow the same layout. On the iPhone case, the design becomes a leather back beneath a knot-quilted metal plate.

Live prices with a new phone

These are starting prices with a new phone included, at the smallest storage size and, on the iPhone 18 Pro, the 6.3-inch Pro. 24K Gold, Rose Gold and Platinum cost the same, so the metal never changes the figure. Larger storage and, on the iPhone 18 Pro and 17 Pro, the Pro Max size cost more.

What the price table shows

• The phone sets the price, not the design. On the iPhone Air, Galaxy S26 Ultra, Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra, all four leather designs on that phone cost the same. Choose on looks alone.
• On the iPhone 18 Pro, 17 Pro and Duo, WildGrace is the cheaper entry. The other three designs share a higher price on each of those phones, so the leather-first design is also the least expensive way into the collection on those phones.
• The Fold8 Ultra is in a different bracket. The cheapest Fold8 Ultra leather phone, at $ 7,580, costs more than the most expensive iPhone 18 Pro Max leather configuration, which tops out at $ 6,290 with 2TB of storage. If you are choosing between Samsung foldables, our Z Fold8 against S26 Ultra comparison sets out what the extra pays for.
• The case is the lowest-cost way to own the look. A leather gold case for the Pro starts at $ 1,690, and the Pro Max size at $ 1,790. The full range is in our gold iPhone cases guide.

Sending in your own phone

On five of the seven lines you can send in your own phone and pay for the customisation only. The send-in starting prices are:

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Duo leather listings are sold with a new phone only. Before sending a phone, read our step-by-step send-in guide. The Z Fold8 product pages note that when you send your own phone, shipping and customs in both directions are at your cost, so add those to the comparison before deciding that send-in is the cheaper route.

Leather colour and type

Crocodilian skins are covered by the international trade rules administered by CITES. If you are buying a phone to ship across borders and want to know about the paperwork, ask the team before ordering.

Charging, water and daily care

Leather changes the feel of the phone, not what is inside it. In every case the work is on a new back panel (and, depending on the phone, the frame or camera surround). The display, chip, cameras and battery are not opened, so Face ID, Apple Pay, Galaxy AI and software updates behave normally.

For care, the product pages give the same advice: wipe the leather with a soft dry cloth, and keep water, oils, perfume and solvents away from it. The iPhone 18 Pro WildGrace page notes that crocodile develops a gentle sheen where your fingers rest. The plated metal needs only the same dry cloth; our gold iPhone care guide covers the plating in more detail. The customisation carries a two-year warranty, and our warranty guide lists what voids it. Every phone is made to order, so returns are not accepted.

How to choose

• Most leather, least metal: WildGrace on an iPhone or iPhone Duo; WildGrace Link on a Samsung. On the Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra, WildGrace is a textured, metal-heavy design, so do not pick it expecting the iPhone look.
• A name on the back: Knots & Leather has a divider reserved for engraving. On the iPhone 18 Pro, Exotic Royale’s band can take initials or a date, and Exotic Noble’s emblem can be replaced with initials.
• A colour other than black: the iPhone Air, where the leather colour is your choice at one price; the Samsung Exotic Royale in brown; or a case in one of eight colours.
• Lowest outlay: a case first; then, on a phone, sending in your own where it is offered; and on the iPhone 18 Pro, 17 Pro or Duo, WildGrace.
• Wireless charging matters to you: confirm your exact build with the team before paying, and do not choose a case, which blocks wireless charging entirely.
• Want diamonds or no leather at all: compare the Ecstasy diamond collection, which uses a fully metal back.
