Looks good...I love the worn look on leather, gives it character!!! I have an Apple Leather case but I switch cases almost everyday & sometimes I don't use a case, so my beige one still looks brand new.

Yea, I too love the vintage look. I am planning to buy brown leather case as I have seen the brown case looks pretty elegant once it starts aging!

I would like to see some pictures of the brown one that has worn over time. I'm interested in buying one but wanted to see what it would eventually look like. Thanks!

My black one broke around the head phone cutout below the leather but the leather is still intact. I'm using an Otterbox Symmetry until my 2 dbrand skins arrive.

Hmm, broke..? They seem to be quite sturdy. Did you try to plug-in a headphone whose jack was too big ?

Unfortunately I didn't. It's beneath the surface of the leather so it's still very usable though.

Wish I had a brown one, go for the natural leather look....


Mine is black and still looks new.... Wishing it had a worn look.

I have a blue and a brown, the brown has been hardly used. Here is my blue one I have been using it since November and had it on during a couple of grimy field trips. There is a bulge type defect that appeared during one of those trips, not sure what caused it.

I think it has held up very well specially for such a light color.

I had one since November '13 and i got a replacement on march cause it broke in the tiny piece above the lightning connector cut out. The guy at the Apple store gave me a new one and it has already signs of wear, I?ll post a pic later cause I?m using another case today.
