Official Leather iPhone 5/S case who likes it

[Stefano_B]

I like it. But it does scuff up too easy, and might loosen up over time, not good for 40$. Might return mine too.

I returned mine. I foresee the case getting too loose.

Did you see any evidence of it getting loose?

Mine hasn't seemed to loose. However I don't take it off very often either.

Just purchased one on the apple store online. See how it fits when it arrives I guess

I have a week-old Spigen Tough Armor case in black that I would love to trade for someone's black Apple leather case!

 

[anon(73368)]

I've had mine for 3 weeks and by far it's the best case I've owned. I have the black one and still looks like brand new. I've tried around 15 different cases low profile ones, protective ones and by far this tops them all!

Looking around, this will be my first case to buy.
I say first because I know me- I'm gonna get another case. And I'm also gonna go without a case, since well- the phone does look rather sexy.

I'm gonna say f-it to the scuffs and see what it will look like distressed and dirty. I've got some leather conditioner for my leather briefcase and cowboy boots that has served me well.

But now I have to select a color for my non-existent 5S

Brown I'm guessing will age the best, after some scuffs, some conditioner, it would look cool. But not sure about the color combo with the space grey.
Beige is too bland for me.
Black would look awesome with space grey, but then I'd be paying $40 for more of the same... kind of a waste.
Red looks good, spices things up, and I think it could age well, but it seems to be the "it" color for space grey iPhones- it's like all the reviews are with this combo.
Blue looks good, but doesn't look so good with space gray and I don't think it will age well.
I LOVE the yellow/space gray combo as a more playful option but again I don't think it will age well.

Looks like a trip to the Apple Store is in order!

We have the blue on my husbands iPhone 5, and I think it looks good. Seems to be wearing ok so far. I'd say the red one on my phone looks more worn in, but I also tend to grab my phone with sweaty hands while exercising.

Well I've decided to get the yellow one.
Somehow it doesn't fit onto my phone... oh wait, this is a case for the 5S!
Verizon is the only one who can fix this!
First time I bought a case for a phone I don't have.

Broke down and bought one just now. I immediately love it. The fit is very reminiscent of the Magpul Fieldcase which was my favorite 4/4S case. Thumbs up to Apple. Here are a couple pics of the brown leather on my white 5...

Sorry about the quality. I took these with my iPad 2

ok so just put the black one on last night- Loving it! My only concern is how protective is it- I saw a few people talked of drops and it holding up- any one else have a positive or negative experience? I know its not as protective as my life proof- And while I am careful with my phone- no one intends to drop it- things happen...

It's plenty protective to me as I've been rocking my 5 naked for the past couple weeks.

still loving this case!

Have you dropped it?

 

[Garz]

I've tried it twice now. It's overpriced and not worth the money. You can get a much better case for cheaper elsewhere. The one I'm using now leaves a gap between the bezel and top part if the phone. The first one scuffed up way to easy. I feel like I have to baby the $40 case.

Here's the pics I posted in the thread about this in the accessories forum...I love it.

Looks real dirty after just a few days of usage.

The blue looked great on my space gray but it started looking bad to me after about 5 days so I returned it for the black one.

My Apple store had them all out so I was able to try each one out. I agree, the red looks great but I was over seeing the space gray/red combo!

So I'm considering picking up one of these leather cases in black for my iPhone 5. My main concern is the lightning cutout. Can someone tell me if you can see the 2 screws that flank the port? I have 2 Belkin lightning cables and I won't spend $80+ on a case/new cables. Feel free to post a picture too - I can usually tell if the cable will fit as long as the picture is clear (all the ones I've seen so far are from awkward angles and it's hard to gauge). Thanks!!

Screws do not show.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply! Can you see any of the screws? I have a Belkin Sheer Candy that's been revised with oval cutout - I can see about 1/2 or 1/4 of the screw and my cable still fits.
