I generally don'y pay attention to the stamps for the volume buttons at all. I hit them by "proximity" anymore. I don't need to feel an indentation - I just know where the buttons are by the shape of the phone.
Got a tip for us?

I have had this for a few days so far and I really enjoy it. I have gotten many comments about it and most are that is really cool looking!
I admit that I have been a little nervous about adding the credit cards in the wallet side but so far all has been good.

wouldn't recommend
i bought this and returned it a few days later. i went from the incase snap. then i went naked for a while. then i decided to try this.
i know it's the point of the case, but you can't put enough cards/money in it for it to be useful. i took my bare necessities and it still wouldn't close all the way.
i bought this with all these recommendations really wanting to like it. i couldn't. it's annoying texting and using the phone. as much as i would like to get rid of my wallet, i couldn't deal with this case.
i wouldn't spend your money on this case. i've gone back to naked + regular wallet

Picked mine up @ the apple store today, i like it. Im a minimalist so I only need my DL, school ID, and debit, and i carry a honey bee in the back. Im still up in the air, I was a die hard fan of the casemate id case for all previous iPhone models. I think my main gripe is that Im left handed, so i just need to get a comfortable one handed grip. I opened all three just to make sure i got one that i liked, but all three fit/form/function great.
Just got the case today and love the look! It's a lot smaller then I imagined. It will take a little while to get used to the flap I think but hopefully it won't take too long.
Got mine today - love the look and feel BUT has anyone noticed when on a call your ear makes contact with the keypad dialler (if you've used it to dial a number), so constant beeping of unwanted numbers thru the call?

yes...happened to me about 3 - 4times...
Go ahead and get in touch with 12South. They'll make it right.
Your ear hitting the keypad? Your screen should be off while making a call. That's not a case problem - that's a phone problem.
Well I wanted to come on and mention how in love I am with my Bookbook!
It's an awesome little case, but I was curious if those folk who've had it a while can answer a question?
Have you found the spine of the book losing it's colour at all? I've only had it in my pocket for a day so far and can't help but feel it's lost some of it's browness...
I accept it's going to get worn and I'm not bothered by this obviously, but the spine looks as though it'll be worn a LOT more than the 2 backs, rather quickly.

I agree that 3 cards is ideal, but I have 5 in right now and it still works fine!? I think maybe you guys aren't breaking in the leather properly. If u take everything out of it and open it fully a fee times and slightly bend the binding around it closes fine with 5 cards for me. Especially if for the first couple days you put it face down to train the binding to close all the way.
I've had my Bookbook for a few weeks (maybe a month?), and the color has definitely faded from the spine and it was noticeable soon after I got it. But I am A-OK with it.
In other news, I lasted about 24 hours using a different case before returning back to my Bookbook. It's too handy. And now that it's really broken in, I can fit 3 cards and a decent number of bills/receipts in the pocket. Love it!
I emailed Twelve South about the problem and they were quick to reply and were VERY helpful, but unfortunately the company I bought the Bookbook off isn't a certified seller and thus isn't covered by TS warranty. They apologised a lot and I'm quite happy with them at least being as helpful as they are.
Will probably email the company I got it off, but I doubt I'll get anywhere.
Nope still loving the bookbook case, will never switch to anything else, in fact I bought a second case at the apple store and have stashed it away for future use if for some reason the one I am using needs replacing
The same thing happened to mine with the faded spine. Twelve South sent me a new one that was better, but I just couldn't bring myself to switch cases. My old one was broken in so well, that I sent the new case back. Just love this case! Take care!
Great pics Reeco.
Just deciding if i should pick one of these up; the idea of combining everything grows on me by the day.
One question, does the bookbook come with a retaining piece to hold it closed (as in pic 1 and 2), or is that an aftermarket mod you've done.
Cheers
