This is not good news. I've had mine for 2 months and I'm on my second one. The first one got a crack in the exact same place shown in your picture. I got in touch with them and they overnighted me a new one no questions asked. So far the 2nd one is ok but seeing your post makes me thing it's a design flaw. Oh well.
Got a tip for us?

I suggest you should all buy a silicone apple case, they get dust fairly quick but it s easy to take off and it won t break like the leather case because it s more flexible, plus I think it offers more protection from drops because of the silicone than the leather.
I've decided to just return my leather and silicone case and try otterbox again since I've decided I need a little more protection while at work and for some of my outdoor activities
I know this is a somewhat old post but do you have any pictures of this combo? And how is the leather aging?
I'm having a hard time determining the area of discoloration. Can you try to repost a photo possibly taken in daylight?
A bit of discoloration is normal. It depends on the particular cow the piece of leather came from (young, old, bruised, scarred, insect bites etc). However your photo does not help in judging as its too dark, and also discolored (!) since the grey is looking brown in the photo. Try taking a photo in outdoor sunlight so that's it's both well exposed and color balanced.
I currently have the Charcoal Gray silicon case for my Space Gray 6S Plus. I just ordered the Storm Gray and Marine Blue though. Can't wait to get them!
I had the iPhone Official Apple case for iPhone 5s the texture was a lot better for my current iPhone 6 plus no case.
I use the Apple black leather case and this case seems to be the one that I always head back to. I try other cases and I always head back to this one.
I have to apple cases, both in leather, one black and one red. They are both bought from am Apple Authorised Reseller shop and the red one has that little serial number on the inside near the camera hole but the black hasn't. What does it mean? And, who is rocking the red case with a black iphone? Do you think it is socially awkward for a guy to have a red case?
Anyone have the new color silicone cases Apple released in March? Want to see what it looks like
I've used the Apple Leather case on my 6+ ... and ... no, don't recommend it. Sure, it looks great, feels AMAZING... but if you scratch it, bump it against something, or even drop it from 2 inches high - it will tear the leather apart. I've gone through 2 Apple Leather cases this way.
Settled on the Silicon case ... takes a little getting used to the sticky feeling but it's the best case. I've used dozens of cases -- my second most favorite is the Anker case but I'm sticking with an Apple Silicon case for now. Just hate how it collects jeans lint every time I put it in my pocket (eventually falls off).
