Considering getting one. Never had a leather case before. Wondering how easily it slips in+out of jeans pockets.

I had the Apple leather case for my 5s, and it was absolutely fine getting in and out of my jeans pockets (also my slacks, pants, etc.).

Provided better grip when holding, good protection, slim and easy to use.

Drop Protection

I am a soon to be new Iphone user. I am coming over from Android. How well do the leather cases protect the phone in the event of a fall? I know the bottom is exposed in this version of the case and that area will be prone to damage, but will I need to be fearful of a waist high drop? Is the leather case more for looks and grip and the silicone case for drop protection? I am interested in your previous experiences with the leather case and your opinions on how the new version will fare.

Thanks

I've always done otterboxes on my iPhones, but with the size of the plus, I'm giving the apple leather case a try. I think it will still be thinner than my naked galaxy.

I just hope it comes in time. I ordered Saturday thinking there was plenty of time, but it's still sitting in California.

Def grabbing one of these for my space gray 6+.

Question for space gray guys- what do you guys think about Midnight blue vs Black?

I really like the blue, but I think the black with the black face may look sleeker and also the black always shows the least amount of damage.. thoughts?

I was just literally gonna buy one one of these from the online Apple store, HOWEVER, after adding the £35 case to my basket, it then adds another £4.80 for delivery on top making the whole case cost just under £40?!???

Sorry but NO WAY is this case worth £40.........:eek::eek::(

The tracking info on mine says it left California 2 days ago. It's coming cross country ups ground. If it makes it that was one hell of a long haul. I have a feeling something just got screwed up though.

"Soft pink" case same color as the beige 5S case

Calling this a "pink" case is going to turn a lot of people off of a case that is actually a "parchment" color or a very light beige. I had the beige for the 5S, and this is no different. Best color, IMO, but it'll wear pretty fast. I don't mind that.

That's no where near pink. I bet the patina on that will look cool.

This is my old beige case, after all of the dye wore off. It went through the wash(without the phone in it, thankfully)and after that had a nice worn look to it. It also saw a lot of dirt and grit. Tough case, and nothing grips like leather.

Yeah, it's not the case to get if you want it to stay clean. It won't. None of of the leather ones will, except the black, and maybe the midnight blue.

I got my black leather case today for my space gray iPhone 6 Plus. I like it. It seems well made. Not sure if I'm keeping it though.

I also have a black leather case for my iPhone 5S and it has lasted me a whole year. Has saved my iPhone from a few drops (protects great!). I do like my iPhone 5S leather case better than the 6 Plus. It's a bit thicker and covers the bottom.

I might go with a Vaja leather case if they make other designs for the iPhone 6 Plus. I want it to cover the bottom part of my phone.

If I don't go for the Vaja. I'm just keeping this case and getting another one in another color. Not sure which other color than the black would go nice with the Space Gray iPhone 6 Plus.

They probably left the bottom completely open to avoid this:

Well mine broke in the middle at the lightning area... had 2 do this.

I think they left the bottom open because it's too thin and rounded to cover it like on the 5/5s. Vaja cases are made the same and they typically cover just fine so I think this design will be ok.

...this is weird?!?

Just opened the App Store app on my iPhone 5 and looked at my basket, which still contained my case from yesterday's order (which I did not complete due to the extra £4.80 delivery charge), however, today, it is showing that my order qualifies for free delivery?!?!:eek::eek: Has this changed since yesterday then?!

Anyway - pressed the button and ordered WITH free delivery!!!

:cool:

Just received my iPhone 6 Silver Grey and I think it looks great in my Apple Black Leather case!
