Wowthat's awesome
Yeah it's also the most expensive case I've seen, it's like 120.00 for both.
I have a vaja case, which is is similar price range. But the wool part is just splendid.
Too bad you live in mumbai, was thinking of getting it and splitting the cost so I can have the case and you can get the wool lol
Holy crap! Just checked out those Vaja cases and the one I liked was $170
And I thought $40 was steep for the Apple one
And not to mention that if one imports in India, there is $25 shipping and believe it or faint.....40 to 50% duty

Just received my Apple leather case in Black for my Space Grey 32gb Verizon iPhone 5S. Very impressed. Appropriately premium, upscale feel that the 5S deserves. One feature that I haven't seen mentioned is the lightness of the case. This case does not weigh the iPhone down like perhaps other cases might. Highly recommended!

I highly doubt Apple would advertise a product as "made from premium leather" if it were not in fact leather. Too many lawyers looking to strike it rich via a fraudulent advertising class-action lawsuit against Apple.
My Red Apple case arrived today from CWH.
Looks pretty good and fits well with the space grey..

Looks very nice....!!
i dont normally like cases at all i have a few at home that i sometimes use at the gym or if im going out to the bar for a night i have the life proof case but i may try the leather case. i just hope that my car charger works with it.
Does the brown get dirty or stained quickly?
i like the contrast of brown and black but might go with all black.

I've been wondering what the best way would be to take the case off without scratching it (my precious). This definite is the cure. Thanks for that!
I am too. Honestly if someone has a problem with a case on my phone, it says more about them than me.
I was debating between brown and black for my space gray 16gb AT&T, but after seeing them in person at the Apple store, I went with the black.
I really wanted the brown for a different look but it just appears a little too orange for my taste. The black on black does look really nice.

None -- working in wealth management -- the only comments centered around whether it was the "new iPhone" or not. The case has been a non-issue and I really like the look.
Favor to ask all of you that have this case.
I have 1 black and 1 red however, my black case looks warped. You can see its not straight. I only mention this because I am thinking I will exchange it for another.
If you look at your case when it does not have a phone in it can you tell me if it is straight? Easy way to tell is lay the empty case face down on a flat surface and does it lay flat?
I am thinking a warped case will put undue pressure on areas on the phone but want to see if this is common with others out there.
Thanks for any responses you can give.

Are there any similar cases to Apple's except maybe more durable? I don't mind paying more but all these stories of them wearing out quickly make me wary. Specifically, a case with microfiber type cloth on the inside in addition to the leather.
