Has anyone seen these cases show up at retailers yet, Apple ran out of stock on the blue launch day when I got mine and I don't really feel like driving an hour to get a case
Got a tip for us?

New Apple Leather Case

Thought I'd chime in...
Big fan of the premium leather case from Apple this year... Tight fit, feels nice, and appeasing to the eye.
I picked up a Beige one on Launch day with my Gold 5s, once I got home I thought twice in regards of my color choice. Just after a couple hours it had some discoloration, so I headed back down to my Apple Store and swapped it for a Product RED. I really liked the way the white and red 'popped' in the beginning, but after a while (and some wear) I felt it became gaudy... Mismatched even.
That was until I saw some pictures of the brown with the Gold 5s, what a sweet combo! Again, I headed back down to Apple and swapped it for the brown. There's just something about the way it accents the Gold model, especially the TouchID ring. I'm pleased to say I am now truly happy with my color choice and ready for the leather to age.
Thanks Apple!

I purchased and already returned a black one a few days ago because the sides were bowed out. Is this normal for this case or did I just maybe get a bad one?
I think I got lucky then. My case is flawless. No bows, no buldges. Nothing but perfection. I have black as well on my Space Grey.
Hey all, new to the thread. Been following this thread for a day or two now but I'm curious, does the Spigen GLAS.tR Nano Slim fit with the leather Apple case? My phone just shipped todayand am prepping for the proper protection for it. Thanks all!
Yes the lip of the case comes no where close to the edge of the glass.
Well I can't imagine it would be too different from the pics apples showing on their site

Probably not much different, but still wouldn't mind seeing a real life photo.

Very tempted to cancel my order for the Glas.tR Nano Slim. Just don't see a point in having it when my phone is usually in a pocket with nothing else.
I thought the same thing but wanted to give it a go with the oleo-whatever coating. My iPad is a finger print magnet and gets harder to play swiping games so I figured this may help with some of that on the iPhone. I used to have the screen protector for my 4S that they sold in the Apple stores (in the green packaging) that had a matte finish. Made it very easy to glide across the screen and without smudges too! And it can only help in case anything happens, right?

Many of the photos in this thread show the front of the phone with the case on.
What are you looking to see? I don't imagine the screen protector extends past the glass front of the phone which is well away from the edges the Apple Leather Case.

I purchased several cases last fall for my iPhone 5 and settled on the Diztronic at the time as it was my favorite. That is until this leather case came out by Apple! I picked one up today and it has a nice tight fit, is very slim and feels great in your hand.
I haven't seen any differences. All I know is this iMessage bug is annoying.
They found a temporary fix for it (until the update rolls out this/next week).
Turn off iMessages, reset your network settings, and then turn iMessages back on. Worked for both me and my GF!
If you bought the case from CPW can you return to Apple? Do Apple ask for a receipt or anything?
It's a red case but I still ordered from CPW although I thought red was Apple store exclusive?

I think we may be talking about two different things. I don't care about the screen protector. I just wanted to see the blue case on a phone. Just like many people wanted to see the black or red.. no big deal. I think a lot of people come here looking for pictures, so no need to pick on me.
