New Apple Leather Case

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!
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 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.

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