I bough a leather case for my iphone and it has bubbles and marks from just normal use and being pocketed. I got it the week after i got my 6 plus, so its not a year yet.

Is there anything i can do?

Is it an Apple leather case?
 
You should be able to bring it in to Apple and get an exchange, I would think. I don't think they care where you bought it? It's still under warranty...

Not sure, but I doubt it. The cases for the 6/6+ have been out for less than a year, so there is no way to have gone over their 1 year warranty period...
 
Called up first cos its a 45min drive.

1) took forever to get a person
2) talked to a slaes person, he said i need a receipt or i could talk to the manager if i come in and maybe he'll do it.

With leather you need to clean and use conditioner on it like any Baseball Glove or Car Seat.

Also Blue Jeans are very hard on leather .. just ask any Saddle.

I personally do not think Apple with warranty it as you are not taking proper care of leather ... but give it a go anyway.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

For the money ... think about a life proof case.

They have them in different colors and are not Extreme Cases that have extra battery and solar panels, but really good technology never the less. eBay might have them at a lower price point.

Believe it or not, you can also take it with you in the water. Take pictures of fish while snorkeling. It’s submergible to just over six feet for up to an hour!

Frē for iPhone® 6 features a nearly invisible touchscreen scratch protector so you can clearly see and have access to all your apps. It also includes full function of Touch ID. An anti-reflective optical glass lens means photography quality won’t suffer in soaked conditions. Sound transfer also remains pristine. Speaker ports deliver maximum output and clarity.
