$6 Apple Leather Case Alternative

[ac921ol]

Thanks for the info! I see these are listed as being just for the iPhone 6- will these fit well on the 6s, with enough of a lip around the front to protect the screen if laid down screen-first?

it didnt on mine, and thats why I ordered a regular apple leather case midnight blue one, lol

LOL Probably the best choice for sure. I wish I wasn't such a cheap skate- the price on the real thing is a killer.

This case really impacts wifi range

Every case except the .02mm ones drop signal. So does your pocket. At least for the 6S the antenna is not as good as the plus.

Whats wrong with the fit. Seems to fit mine. I also ordered the full leather one...waiting on it.

Did you order from the US sellers, or one of the China sellers?

got my midnight blue case in today. i really like the feel. it's softer than the saddle brown apple leather case shown next to it. only gripe is the vibrate switch cutout. it doesn't have that much of a lip to where you can lay your phone down flat. my glass protector is too thick apparently.

What does the inside of the case look like- does it have the microfiber lining just like the Apple ones?

China. I can see the China ones are for the 6. Tight but works.

 

[ac921ol]

The US seller also has a China warehouse , so you are most likely ordering from the same vendor.

similar, it's soft and very similar. not sure what it is though?

Really digging this case also. $8.95 shipped. Similar leather to the one in the first post but this has total coverage-no open bottom like the Apple leather case. The fit is really nice. There is no reason why Apple could not produce this case except for the fact they do not want to prevent damage and broken screens.

I haven't used a case with a closed bottom for years and have never had a broken screen. In fact, I look specifically for cases with an open bottom, because it's so much easier to access the ports that way.

Mine is in Chicago I just ordered this one also though.

So what does this mean? Not getting through customs? Where is this thing??

Ordered Oct. 2nd...

 

[jm31828]

Seems like it would be better to order from the US seller for any of us who haven't placed an order yet- they do appear to be the same cases for about the same prices, but being shipped from the US with only a few days to a week shipping time (and no customs to deal with).

Finally got mine today, can definitely tell the fit it is off. Not a big fan, glad it was cheap lol

 

[Che Castro]

So I'm looking for a similar looking Apple case that actually fits the 6s plus and covers the bottom

That looks weird. But also not like tracking I have seen. Get the tracking number and go to USPS.

I got a brown one. It's surprisingly decent, in terms of construction and feel. It even smells vaguely of leather somehow. But the color is kind of like baby poop. It's missing the depth and subtlety of Apple's brown. Baby poop is not subtle.

I also got the brown.

Got the blue and light pink one in today. Still waiting on the brown. For the price, these are amazing. I highly recommend them. Great find Op.

Finally received mine over the weekend after almost 3 weeks. I am a little disappointed. One of the corners is indented so it looks a little messed up. Fit is pretty good and feel is not bad either.

i really dont think this is leather guys, doesnt feel anything like any other leather I own, wallets, cases, shoes, belts anything, lol

here is a quick write-up of PU Leather.

I am not a fan of these cases, they were cut for an iphone 6, and not the 6s, yes I can fit it on my phone, it just doesnt look right, and Im worried about my screen protector.

 

[SmplyRckless]

My black one came in a few mins ago. It has a leather feel to it, & fits pretty nice. I'm definitely gonna order more

Took 9 days to get to California.

Can you post a picture with the phone in the case

 

[Tinknock71]

Received mine today black and brown one, for the price I cant complain they fit nice I would buy again!

 

[futurefortress]

I got the black case from the OP in the mail today and I'm thoroughly impressed! The quality and feel of the faux-leather is great. For a $5 case it's pretty amazing.
