If Apple keep having returns, I think they'll have to modify the cases to stop them wearing thin so fast.
I got my red one today, and it's a great fit, makes the phone so much nicer to hold/use IMO.

People have been reporting their cases wearing out after just two days which is unheard of. Even the cheapest of the eBay cases don't wear out that fast let alone a $40 Apple product.
It's a huge shame, the feel and look of the Apple cases are amazing otherwise.

Is there anyway to clean the leather cases, because it's only been 5 days and the case is already darker around the edges 
Has anyone tried any leather care/cream or sealant on them? I have some car leather sealant from work as we apply it to new car leather to stop stains and marks from occurring (that's the idea anyway) but don't sent to risk it in case it ruins my red case lol.
Loved the case for a few days but ended up returning it. I had the black one and the corners started to wear and turn a light gray. This is just wear after pulling it in and out my pocket.
A couple of other factors that led to me returning it were:
- I had a gap on the whole right side of the phone that was very noticeable and dust and crud started getting in it. Oddly, the left side was very snug.
- The power/lock switch was extremely hard to push and provided no tactical feedback when I had pushed it. It was just "mush". The volume buttons felt nice and clicky though.
Other than those issues the case felt great in the hand and I loved how minimalist it was. So close but the search for the perfect case continues!

Completely real through and through. Soon as you pull it out of the package you can smell the leather. Best case I've ever had.
That's a good question, I highly doubt it though since he case is light, slim and not all bulky. I'd say its more for scratch resistance and cosmetics. It's perfect for someone like me who prefer their phone nude. It's the only case ever to grace my phone.
I'm my opinion, Apple's leather case offers *some* protection to the back and sides. It's not an Otterbox. But it is a slim, form-fitting rigid leather case that I would recommend for a social outing or in a working office environment.
I am more than comfortable to use this as my everyday case.

I think it's worth it, it looks and feels good. Mine isn't showing no signs of wear and i cant see any colour change as it's Black
But i do have some dents and nicks in the leather as i did drop my phone yesterday but the case did it's job and the phone is as it was before the drop.
I'm happy with it and will get another.

Yellow case looks fantastic on the black phone. I havent been in jeans much since i got it. Does the blue rub off or is it tgrre to stay?
I have the brown (natural leather) color. And I like it. It fits perfectly and has a nice thin profile. The color is changing a bit along my grip area, but it looks natural and breaking in nicely. No abnormal wear or tear. So far I'm really liking it.

Thats what I like to hear, and if it has wear over time its better it add character lol just like my wallet I had for years its one of a kind
I would ask that folks that use the Apple cases please post pictures. Many of us would like to see the fit and finish.
Also, is it possible to use the dock with the case on?
