I'm considering one but I am wondering if my phone will fit in my alarm clock, which has a pretty tight fit on the lightening dock even bare.
Got a tip for us?

New Apple Leather Case

I just picked up this case in the brown color. I use a ProClip mount that is VERY unforgiving with Lightning cable holes that are not large enough and this case DOES fit in that mount so I would venture an educated guess that it will probably work for you.
That would be VERY cool. I do like the red one a lot but just assumed it doesnt work. Now I know it's worth my time to drive up there (I'll call to make sure they have one).
So are these only at Apple stores? Closest one for me is 3 hours away, but I have Best Buy and all the carriers. Doesn't AT&T or Verizon carry them?
For everyone asking about this case, I have it on my iPhone 5 right now.
1) Fits great - feels great, nice and thin.
2) Smells funny. Not bad, just funny.
3) It doesn't trap the heat.
4) The lock button is now difficult to press - less of a click, and more of a squishy feel. Not a deal breaker.
Overall I would say its worth the money. A premium quality case.

I just had the black and brown picked up for me. The worry I had was that the brown leather would look too "produced" and not natural. It is actually not bad, I think I am going to stick with out and let it age nicely over time... well until the iPhone 6 comes out. Sorry for photo quality. I used my iPad.

That looks really nice too!
They're turning out to be rather nice cases all round it seems.
Did anyone in the UK find these outside of Apple Stores? I live at least an hour away from my nearest one, so it would obviously be easier for me to get one at a phone shop.
I picked up a Black one today in Carphone Warehouse for £34.99, try there instead mate.
called up a few Verizon stores near me (NY) they said they have NOT gotten any shipments. They wont be getting these cases in until at least 1-2 weeks.
Not sure about Bestbuy but I assume a similar situation.

I would like to know the same thing. I actually ordered both the 5S and the 5C docks last night to see which one would work. I figured if the 5S dock didn't work the dock for the 5Chubby might.
Just bought AND returned the brown one. Thought it was nice enough to keep (besides the weird smell) but the main reason was it didn't fit with my aux cable for the car. Also I'm not sure it's genuine but I'm not an expert. Just like someone said above, it is a little difficult to take off. Too bad, I really wanted to like it.
I just got my case in Black, also got the beige for the GF. Overall the case feels really nice and has a slight lip for protection on the front. I'm not a case type of guy but I like it. I'm a bumper type of guy so this is quite a nice change.
And the case is really hard to take off. Had to use a pen to sick through the lightning port for it to come out

Loving my blue leather case with the Space Gray phone. The subtle Apple logo shows off that it's an iPhone on the back without being obvious like the non-Apple cases that have big cutouts for the Apple logo to show through.
the fact it may be hard to take off, is bad for me, i like to take my case off and on.
