$6 Apple Leather Case Alternative

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?

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. 🙂

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?

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.

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).

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.
 
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.

Can you post a picture with the phone in the case
 
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.
