I want one of the leather cases, but I've read they fall apart in under a year. Anyone with a 5/s leather case willing to share their experience with durability? Am I better off going some other route?
EDIT: Sorry, I see people are already discussing this.Still love the feedback.
I used a black one for my 5s, and it has been the best case I have ever used. Its a nice texture, its low profile, and protects the phone well enough from when I have dropped it a couple times nothing has happened to the screen, and there is just a small chip on the left corner.
I absolutely love their cases, although I dont think I would get anything but the black one because of how it wears out from jeans and what not.
Woo for naked iPhones! Rocked my 5s naked from day 1. Although I had a case for like 2 weeks because I impulse bought it in a shop cause it was a CaseMate and cheap. But I realised how much I hate cases and gave it to my girlfriend.
Key question - does the Apple case work with larger headphone plugs (for us audiophiles), such as ATH-M50's?
My brown case for the 5S went from basketball colored to football/espresso in a year. That being said, it's held up through rain, snow, heat, dirt, etc.
Product RED
I'm looking forward to my Product RED leather case which is on its way to me this very minute. Hopefully my 6 arrives on Friday considering I ordered it at 32 mins past ordering time and got conformation 4 minutes later. Unfortunately it still says Preparing for Dispatch but I'm sure I'll check again in the morning

Just got my midnight blue 6 case in the mail. Looks like a quality build, we'll see how long it lasts though.
Really love the design of the iPhone 6 except for those stupid lines on the back. Totally ruins it. I have traditionally gone without cases for my iPhones because I hate covering them up as I really appreciate the design. But for this one I will be wearing a case to hide those terrible lines.
Times have changed and it certainly isn't mind blowing anymore, but when the iPhone 4 released I remember just being in love with the look. It does nothing for me now, but at the time I thought it was the most beautiful phone I had ever seen. I did not have the same feelings for the 5 or 6.

Go check out the Waterfield site SF Bags .
I've been using their cases for years - great looking, wear well and are really functional. Been using a Finn wallet for my 5 and just ordered a new one for my iPhone 6.
Great customer service too.

Well...you? Otherwise you wouldn't be replying? Or do you go onto every SINGLE thread you don't care about just to let everyone know. Some life...
THIS!!! These cases would be perfection if they would just close the freakin' bottom!
I am addicted to cases though. I already have 4 and not phone the first to put in 'em. LOL @ myself.
I think the brown ones look good with some wear. The blue ones wore super fast and looked really ******.Huh! I'm kind of two minds about this. On the one hand, you're right, it shows wear. On the other, it's leather and showing wear is part of its personality. I'm not so sure I don't think it's better looking a little worn.
Probably why they aren't offering that color for the 6 case. I'm surprised they still offer it for the iPad.
Hey, thanks for the feedback. This is what I hoped. And yeah, I'm going for the black if anything. I was looking on Apple's site what each looks like on a space gray phone, and they all sorta look meh except for black. I think the colours are designed for the white/gold variations.
Excellent. Now that's got me wondering how the brown one might age... that could be classy... Hmm...
Fugly Cases
I don't get the look of Apple cases. They're so ugly and expensive...At $39, I can buy 10 of better looking cases a few weeks from now on eBay...something similar to this ultra thin 0.2mm case which has bumper, clear looking and dimple to prevent scratches on the case.

On the front of "size comparison" ... has anyone noticed that the 6plus is almost exactly the same size as a standard checkbook? Just a plain vinyl one, with a ledger book and about half of a check pad?
Weight isn't the same. Length is a little off, but all of the dimensions are pretty much within the margin of error for manually measuring it with your ruler.

Wrong.

My red 5S case started out this ugly bright red that I knew would change over time. Now it's quite nice.
