I believe it's 30-days from purchase date.
Apple Support is on point! I called with complaint yesterday, CS rep emailed my refund slip, to my surprise I got replacement shipping confirmation email yesterday evening...and will have item on my desk later this afternoon! How's that? The service Apple gives & has always given me over the years is one reason I keep buying their products.

I swapped it this morning. The woman at the Apple Store agreed that it shouldn't do that after a couple days.
Now I need to decide whether to try to baby it or treat is as business as usual. I'd prefer not to swap cases every time I go to the gym. I'm not sure if the first one was defective or they all just reacts very poorly to water. My leather iPad case doesn't look that bad after years of use, so I'm hoping the first iPhone case was just defective.
I don't regret it because I got it for FREE from apple
technically you shouldn't even be in this thread then per the title.
I see yeah hopefully that was the case was going to say I have an apple leather case on my iPad Air and it's gotten wet but held up. If the couple cases Ive got coming in the mail are poor I'll probably pull the trigger.
I'm getting the exact same 'blisters' on my case.
I'm not sure if it's because the leather is separating or if it's because it's absorbing external moisture, but this never happened to the Apple leather case on my 5S.
Did we just luck out with defective units, or is this problem occurring to all the leather cases?
Same blisters here. Going to bring back and exchange. I am going to treat the new one with some leather waterproof and see how that holds up. If not will most likely swap for the silicone.
I just got back from the Apple Store where I swapped my leather case for the silicone one.
The lady at the store agreed that it shouldn't be discoloring that much after just a week, and also said there had been a lot of returns of the leather case. This surprises me, as I also have the leather case for the iPad Air and it has held up beautifully and feels great.
I think that either Apple got cheap (ridiculous since the case costs $45!) or there's a manufacturing problem.
The silicone case feels a LOT nicer, looks better and feels like it will absorb shocks better if I were to drop the phone.
They also tightened one of the screws on the bottom of the phone for me; my left one was protruding slightly.

I have a leather case and I think it's great, decent protection with very minimal bulk.
On a separate note has anyone with a leather case found a holster that fits? I could really use one for work.

I found one at Walgreens. It's from a company called "Reiko" and fits great, but I had to hit a few Walgreens to find one that was the right size.
Good luck.

That's funny that you say that because I was looking at a holster by the same company on Amazon, it looks to be generic and about $5 with shipping. If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay at Walgreens?
Thanks, I will check out my local Walgreens. Hopefully they have them. As much as I hate holsters I really need one for work.
Oh believe me, I hate how they look too. But at work it's fine, and I'd much rather have my phone in a holster than bouncing around in my pocket picking up lint all day.
Have dark blue leather and I cannot tell you how beautiful it is. First time purchaser with an Apple leather case and I must say it was worth the money.
That's the one I had. It looked like crap within a week, and I wasn't even that rough on it.
Hopefully yours will hold up better. Good luck!
