Isn't released until the 20th, unfortunately. :(
Well I thought the press may have got a hands on yesterday. I did manage to find this: http://www.slashgear.com/iphone-5s-and-5c-cases-hands-on-made-by-apple-10297394/

And...

"I also played with the leather cases on the iPhone 5S which come in a variety of colors. These are also suede lined inside and feel rigid, and I was told these are actual leather as well."

If I get one, it'll be gold with brown leather. unless gold turns out to not be durable, then i'll go with silver.

Interesting finds! I have high hopes for the leather case.

Seems like a very nice case. I may be interested in the future, but I can't see myself putting a case on my naked iPhone anytime soon.

I really like the attention to detail with the holes at the bottom for speaker, mic, etc.

Going to get the black one. Black on black. :)

I have a white 5 with a slim white Pinlo slice which I've been extremely happy with for the last year. However, I might be tempted by either the blue or red leather case. Looks very form fitted to the phone. Just wonder if it would be best to leave it alone or treat with leather protector to avoid stains.

They look really nice. My conundrum is that the white looks better in these shots. :(

I like this case. My only apprehension is how well it will continue to hug/grip the phone after a lot of use slipping in and out of pockets and such.

Really... People? You are excited for an overpriced Apple case? Remember the bumper case that cost $29? It looked great and colorful at first then after few weeks time it disintegrated and lost its cool and color very quickly. As for me nothing else stood out as much as Speck cases.

Best to go naked, I've spent enough dollars on cases, got tired of it. Why cover up something in plastic that's been given so much time to design and thought. Just my 2 cents, I haven't dropped my iPhone 5 yet in a year, had Zagg front and back that's it.

Shame to cover up the beautiful phone but it does help protect it. And I do like the looks of these new leather cases. I see myself picking up a couple.

I will buy a black iphone with thr black case, the perfect combo jeje. Does anyone know if the 5s dock will work with this case?
It's a shame that they didn't do a bumper, or a leather bumper :) jejejeje

I doubt it. It's a shame, Apple makes a phone, a case and a dock and the three can't be used together. I'd suggest you look for 3rd party dock options. Apple is all about things "just working" but they really put out a sad excuse for a dock.
