Just got my Apple Leather Case

My only problem with buying from bestbuy is that it doesn't release until 10/5 for some reason. I want it now, but also want to use RZ certificates so I'm still deciding what to do.

yea I know. I just stopped by my BB right now to check if it's in stock but the whole iPhone 6/6 Plus section of cases is empty I assume awaiting arrival of the shipments.

I have a cheap monoprice.com case on mine for now. I use it at least when I go to the gym so I won't have to leave it on the floor, bare.

I feel your pain. Mine broke a couple of months back. The phone still stays in it fine though no big deal really.

So I went back and forth. Started with brown leather. Then black silicone. Back to original black leather like I had on my 5s. Leather just feels better. I can't really explain it. Plus I'm obsessed with the smell. My black leather on 5S aged awesome. The brown was nice but could see marks on it so easily. Blue looked nice and dark. Both cases are great but the leather wins again. Also feels slimmer.

Thanks for all the pics in this thread. I ordered a Blue Midnight case for pickup tomorrow at my local Apple Store. I hope I don't have to wait several hours in a line at this point just to pick up a case.

Still kind of waffling between the blue and the brown, but I think the blue will weather better over time.

I'd be surprised if there was a line at all. Even so that would be for iPhone buyers only. You should be able to walk in and pick up anything else. I picked up a brown today but already decided it's not for me. They ran out of blue before I got there so I went with the brown to test it out. It's really "chocolate" like mentioned before. The color is pretty uniform and looks almost like fake leather. May look better with wear but we'll just have to wait and see. I may end up going naked as with all my previous phones. The lip on cases never bothered me as much as it does now with the curved edges of the glass.
 
For you guys that have a gold iPhone 6/plus can you post pictures of it with a brown leather case please? Multiple pictures and angles are appreciated.

I'll take a peek at the brown cases at the store when I'm there for the pickup. I was also considering a red silicone one, but I prefer the muted colors of the leather cases. Not as flashy, and I like the idea of letting the leather wear naturally, which makes it personalized to me.

Hmmm, I was so sure that I wanted the Black leather case until I saw this picture. The midnight blue just looks worn so nicely in this picture. :confused:

I'm curious what the poster did to see that kind of wear so quickly on the midnight blue? I've had the midnight blue on my space grey since launch date, and I have 0 wear so far. I am sure over time it will show wear, all leather does, but it shouldn't wear THAT quickly. If people really want to see as little wear as possible I would recommend the black case, but this Blue should age very nicely.

That one poster (2 pages back) took some great pics of his space gray in the brown leather... but I am also considering midnight blue. Decisions decisions...
 
Just picked up a midnight blue one from the store and it looks great on my space gray Plus... definitely looks better in well-lit and outdoors where the blue really contrasts. In dim lighting, it looks black to the naked eye unless you're up close I guess.

Will take pics tonight in both well-lit and dim-lit scenarios. I'm considering trading in for the olive brown but my main concern with that is the wear & tear and the smudges that would more easily show up on that, as opposed to this dark navy blue. Hmm....


Also, for those wondering about the screen protector on that guy's olive brown leather case + space gray pics, he said "The screen protector is the Power Support Anti-Glare one that was in stock at the Apple store when I picked up the 6. "

$17.95 on Apple store... feel like you can get similar matte screen protectors for much cheaper though.

Just got mine today. I think it's pretty solid, although I thought the sides were lined with the microfiber as well but I guess not. It does seem to scuff easily.
 
Best buy says they don't get them until 10/5 but I happened to stop by my local store today and they had them in stock!

Picked up a brown one and I am loving the look and feel of it. The brown really does work really well with the gold plus.
 
Checked out the leather and silicone cases at the local Apple Store. Leather definitely felt nicer to me. Has anyone with the leather cases in the past used a conditoner (I have some Griot's Leather Spray) and noticed it helped with wear over time?

Ohhh been wanting to see the brown on the gold. Can you share some pics please?:)
 
I really like red leather case, but the power button is still really hard to press even four days later. I really hope it eases up in time.
