Didn't think it would take long but these cases are now on eBay UK priced at just £9.99 each! Not made from leather but from polymer plastic moulding / TPU so may be more durable, who knows. I've ordered a red one as my genuine leather red leather one went nasty too quickly!

They look identical, apart from there's no Apple logo...

Thanks! I had the brown leather case from apple but i returned it as leather kept on tearing off. It was not durable as when i dropped it from 4ft my phone came off the case and got a bit of the chamfered edge.

Its a shame cause i loved the look of it but it wasn't worth the money. I hope this one will be a little bit better.

Yeah, I hope so too. I loved my red case when it was brand new, but it soon got grubby, and anything I tried to clean it with didn't work and just ruined the colouring, I'm hoping the cheaper plastic type design will actually stay one colour for longer and won't allow any oils or dirt to sink in.

Be cool if they were exactly as presented, however those images are the genuine apple cases with the Apple logo photoshopped out.

You can see artifacts where they edited out the Apple logo.

Let us know! :)

He's right. It's especially noticeable if you scroll the image while staring at the area.

Asked the seller to take a pic with a phone in it. He sent me a blue one with his white iPhone. I think I'm gonna buy it

It looks like it is covering the chamfered edge... or are my eyes playing trick on me? I don't know how important that really is, though.

It's cool that they replicated the colors. Will be curious to see pics from you guys!

Pics look like a basic tpu case, nothing close to the apple case. Post when you get it, I'm curious also

The back is identical, as are the sides. Only difference I can see bar the badge is the edges on the front. Hopefully they'll be good, :)

If you zoom in on the blue case you can see a line for the lip, it does look like TPU, how else would it be flexible enough to take off otherwise
