I got mine a few days ago as a gift... It takes some getting used to, but overall, I love it!
I've gotten quite a few positive comments on it as well!

I ordered a Chinese knock off from eBay. It should be here in a couple of weeks. I;ll post my thoughts.
The one from aliexpress states not compatible with iPhone 4s.... that is strange. I would like to see the build quality of this one. Post some pics when you receive it. I am very happy with my authentic model but am interested to see if some of the knockoffs can look as good.
This case is seriously the cutest accessory I have ever seen for a mobile device. I absolutely LOVE it. I got mine for $36 on eBay, shipped from within the US. Maybe it's a knockoff, but I'm still uber pleased with it.
There are pictures in this thread already. Just go through the pages. I know I posted some myself.
If you guys have doubts about the fakes having real leather, take a metal safety pin and heat it the tip until it glows red and put it against the leather. If the leather melts, it's plastic. Or you can just not ruin your case

Haha. Now that there's so many knock offs out there I'm scared to order one, and definitely don't want to pay $60 for one. But I decided anyway to contact a few sellers on eBay and see if theirs is the authentic version or fake version. Btw everyone still loving their case as much as all of you state in this thread?
I saw the pictures and thought this thing was stupid. Then I watched the video and thought it's a cool wallet + phone case.
It's not for me, but it's pretty cool.

I bought one today in an Apple Store (UK). I was browsing around the cases and kept getting lured back to this after I had tried it on my iPhone.
It's lovely. Really nicely made, actually not as thick as I thought it would be so I'm happy with that. Now I'm just waiting for the spine to "break in" so that it stays closed when I put it down and that kind of thing.
I have a White iPhone 4S and even though the packaging says it's for iPhone 4 it fits perfectly. The silent switch is perfectly positioned (it's right in the centre of the hole) and I have no problems with the proximity sensor as it's not obscuring that.
Lovely case. I recommend buying it in an Apple Store if you can as when I was looking through all the cases to choose one I noticed a bit of colour difference, which is probably naturally due to the leather. On mine the spine colour blends in very nicely with the rest of it and the Gold embossing is quite subdued (especially the words "Book Book) so it suits me fine

For those who availed of TS' warranty, do you have to wait till TS received your broken bookbook before they send a replacement? I'm just wondering since red kiosk was able to choose between his old bookbook and the replacement. I wanted to claim warranty because of the faded spine and already contacted them but I'm worried that the replacement will have problems like the mute button not lining up, etc. So do I have to send my old bookbook back ASAP or would they send the replacement without waiting for the old one?
I just recieved mine off Amazon, feels legit, looks legit, the seller said it was legit, usually they will tell the truth. However I'm not positive. Does anyone know if the volume buttons on the real one is cut out? Because mine are cut out and I'm not sure that the red flap is a magnet, I guess one way to know is to visit a local apple store and check it out instore.
The real ones do not have cut outs for the volume button, and the red 'flap' is just a tab.
Sounds like you got a knock off. Sorry. ><

Hmm.. But all of the above features are the same. It's pretty darn close to the authentic version then. The only thing is the volume buttons I guess, I think I'll go check it out at apple and see the difference in person.
I asked about the volume cut-out from their Support and according to them, if it has a cut-out its fake.
Damn that sucks, thanks for the clarification. Now I'm gonna give the seller a piece of my mind because he told me it was authentic. Usually they tell you the truth to avoid bad reviews.
