New Apple Leather Case

SchneiderMan said:
The leather is extraordinary thin, and it isn't very durable as you can tell. Best not keep it in a tight jeans pocket. So far there's no wear on my case at all, but I haven't worn any jeans or tight-fitting, ball-squeezing pants either.

Damn those ball squeezing pants

Well I guess I should've saw this coming lol.

After about 3 days of normal use of the red case on my white phone, it's already starting to show dark stains around the edges. Not sure if it's from me putting it in my pocket or on my table but I thought that happened a lot sooner than it would've.

I still love the case though even if it hard to keep it looking new.

Any chance to post a pic of it? I want to see how it's turning out. I actually like the "wear and tear" of leather products, haha.

Does anybody have the Beige color of this with the Galaxy Grey iPhone?

I picked the black one up yesterday, it's very nice BUT my Amazon 10cm car lightning cable does NOT fit with it on. Really bloody annoyed as now I'll have to use a horrible white Apple cable in the car that will flap everywhere & get in the way.

My auxiliary cable doesn't fit either, but I was expecting that and have managed to find another with a much smaller jack.

Other than those issues, I'm pleased with it. Nice to have a case that covers all sides.

That was my problem with my griffin car charger. There is a newer version that fits apparently.

The adapter doesn't come close to fitting, no grab whatsoever, so even with filing I doubt it could work.
I just ended up giving mine to my wife since she has an iPad Mini and a 30 pin iPhone.

Are you sure the cable looks like it wouldn't need much plastic removed to fit.

Looking back, I'm kicking myself for not buying the cable adapter instead, as I could still be using it with this case.

Live and learn.
 
I performed an un-official drop test much to my surprise this morning whilst walking to work. iPhone survived but my not even a week old Black leather case took the brunt around the lock button area. It now has a few dents and digs but it did it's job falling from trouser pocket height onto the pavement, it kept the phone in it's pristine condition so i'm happy.
 
Glad to hear the 0.2m lightning to 30pin adaptor fits. What's the case like with most headphones? I'm guessing very chunky plugs won't fit but would anything slightly bigger than the apple supplied ear pods work?

My red case arrived from CPW today, looks lovely! Premium feel for sure. If only I had a phone to put it in now!!!.... :rolleyes:

There's a little bit of space around the Apple OEM headphone connector. My Klipsch Image One connector fits okay with a little wiggle room. No issues either with my Plantronics Backbeat GO 2 earbuds (nothing to plug in, they're bluetooth :D)

Glad to hear your iPhone is okay! Nice that it did the job, better having your case a little dinged up than your iPhone!

Great to hear, cheers :)
 
Our two case's arrived today, one red, one blue, I have to say im very very impressed. Slim, well made, great fitting and they add a nice touch of colour to the phone - i was going to go for black as I always do, but took the chance with red and am pleased I did! Click for larger images.





But the best bit is - both phones also fit my Brodit iPhone 5 lightning mount in the car (perfectly!)
