Black would really look good besides brown. That goes for any BookBook Twelve South makes :)

My first thought is to agree and buy a black as my phone is black and have always had a black case but then I thought that no I think the brown is the best for the design it just looks like a true old book being brown. Still waiting for mine I had hopes that it was going to be here but they crossed me up by showing it was here already when all it was for clearing for customs. Its still slowly moving across the middle states and won't be here till the 9th ...grrr
 
Has anyone seen these at the Apple stores yet?
I know this has been asked several times already but I am anxious to see this thing in person before I buy.
 
It's amazing how positive all these reviews are. Thanks to everyone who posted in here.
 
Ordered mine on Monday and getting it today already. This is with the standard free shipping they offer in the US. Great service. Really looking forward to getting it.

To answer about it being in the stores, no they still do not have them in my local Apple stores. I was hoping they would, but oh well. I just ordered it instead.

Thanks for the update on the stores.
Let us know how you like it.
 
Anyone else having a problem with the mute switch not lining up properly with the cutout? Am thinking about exchanging it if everyone else is perfect.

Just got mine today. I really like it a lot so far. To answer your question though, no my cut out for the mute switch is slightly off in that when the mute switch is turned off to allow for sound, it kind of abuts the leather cutout there. Also, the stamps that they put into the leather for the "+" and "-" volume rocker are slightly off as well. Overall though I don't really think this matters. I mean it is leather. It is not going to be perfect. ;)

I will give some more impressions once I get to use it for a few days. So far though, very nice. Love the look of it and the functionality of having the wallet and phone together. I am not a major picture taker with my phone, so the camera cutout is a non-issue for me. If I want to take pictures, I will probably just take it out of the case, which is very easy to do thanks to the design. The leather itself seems pretty nice. Not as nice as my Vaja, but come-on, what do you expect. One thing that I did notice that is somewhat odd however is that the leather strip going down one side of the phone looks like it was cut a bit uneven. That is somewhat odd. Will continue to see how it goes.

My mute is bit tight too..but like every other case and accessory, I fix it rather than going back and forth with the mfr, when I can. 2 secs with a fresh xacto blade fixed it for me.
 
Decided I'd stop by the Apple Store (South Coast Plaza, Orange County, CA) on the way home today just to see if they had any in stock, wasn't really expecting to find any though. So I stride in and start looking at the wall of cases they have. After a few minutes of looking I still hadn't seen any but then, out of the corner of my eye, I see one hanging in front of some other random case. I was very surprised.

At checkout the Apple employee commented on my purchase saying he bought one as well through Twelve South and loved it. He also added that since these cases arrived in store they were selling very quickly with the employees. Very happy to have gotten this sweet case and very lucky to get the last one at the store. :apple:

I agree. I am very happy with my case and the hole for the camera doesn't bother me at all.
 
hey guys, is the elimination of the camera cutout and the typing a big problem for those who are using this case? am very tempted to order it but was worried these would affect me

I dont mind the camera cutout not being there. I really enjoy typing with this case in landscape mode. Much more comfortable, than without a case..

is it possible to just fold back the flap to the back of the case and then type it in portrait mode?

Yes, definitely. I like the other user above however really like typing in the landscape mode with this case. You can most certainly use it in horizontal however and this works just as well. As I stated above, not having a camera cutout does not bother me at all. However, I am not crazy about taking photos with my iPhone either, so take that into account I guess.
