New Apple Leather Case

[jamies90]

Anyone know if UK Apple stores have these in stock?

just ordered a black one for my space grey 5S. Been using a Tough Armor but they feel a bit plastic. Least we can send these back to Apple if no good.

I bought one this morning and they seemed to have a lot of it in stock.

It looks nice and has a good tactile feel. It makes the phone feel a fair bit wider.

Unfortunately, I had to return it immediately. It won't fit some popular headphone jacks. I could not fit the Beats Monster headphones through it. Dang!

Anyone else got one? Post some pics and impressions please!

Was always going to be my biggest concern. The Pixel Speck HD case I'm using at the moment easily accomodates the Bose iMIE2 and Panasonic HTX7 jacks I use at the moment, the latter being a big, chunky 3.5mm jack. Sounds as though the new Apple cases might struggle with the latter.

Hopefully someone will be able to post some up close and personal shots of the case on a phone later on.

I just found a quickly review on Youtube.

I got a red leather case with the space grey iPhone. My friend put the case on her iPhone 5 while I'm charging the 5s. The case fits pretty well. Actually, I'd say too well because it took us a long time to take it off. I need to force the four corners out and even then the case was still attached to the phone. In the end, I have to poke through the camera cutout on the case to push the iPhone out. If you are the kind of person who need to take out the case frequently, I would not suggest this case at all. But if you plan to just leave the case on then this is a great case.

If it's leather it should stretch to fit the phone hopefully.

Thanks for that looks great

There is a structure within that is line with leather outside and a fabric inside. It is fairly rigidl and should not stretch considerably.

Lots in stock in Thurrock InTu (Lakeside) apple store.

I just nabbed a black one.

Looks good Tempted on the black for my black 64gb iP5. Henry Ford had it right.

Black on black looks very sweet, only thing that puts me off is the pricing. £35 +£4 postage is a little steep for a case. Think I'll wait for some video reviews before I purchase one.

I was so close to nabbing the red one as it would look great with the black phone but I thought I'd keep things uniform
They're really well made cases though, definitely worth it.

I spent quite some time deciding between red and black too and settled on red because I had a black case for my iPhone 5 so I want to try something new.

They do look great together!

Nice pics! If anyone grabs the brown or tan one and puts it on a white phone, please post a pic! Thanks.

Stuck between getting the black or the blue - I love blue but not sure how good it will look with my black i5. I may also wait for other retailers to carry the case as well, don't really feel like paying $10 extra just for shipping and tax

Thanks for the photos, guys. Ordered the red but the black looks so nice. Ah, well.

The ATT store i visited this morning had not received any yet.

ill get the brown one and it will be more beautiful when aged.. that's what leather is.

 

[boobie12]

Got the case but I kinda hate it. Probably will just return it. Expected it to feel better in the hand

Great pics and impressions everyone. ChazUK the black one looks pretty nice! It was the one I was thinking about getting and I think I will stick with that plan.
