I received mine today, and all I can say is that its exquisite (as always), the craftsmanship is second to none. These are by far and away the nicest sleeves I have found for both my iPhone and my Macbook Air.

Has anybody else gone for Joli case for their iPhone 5?

oh wow! the color is beautifulllll! the red stitching contrasts nicely with the blue. Is it a tight fit or would the phone pop out if I put it in my purse?

It's a quite a tight fit, you can easily shake it upside down without it falling out, but it's super easy to get it out.

The blue one in the first post looks amazing! But I can't find that exact color on the website? Can you post a direct link please?

Thanx in advance!

I believe the smooth blue leather was a very limited run they did, not available at the moment, hence not on the website.

Its a good fit, tight enough that the phone won't slip out of you hold it upside down, but not too tight that you can't get the phone out easy enough.

Its the 3rd sleeve i've had from Joli (had one for the 4 and my MBA) and they are great products.

That is very attractive looking.
I'd definitely consider one of those sleeves.
(Sure wish they still offered the blue with red stitching! A white iP5 would pop in that sleeve!)

Have not yet worked out how to add a picture, sorry:confused:
Love them!!!

I got mine through yesterday and have to say I am a wee bit disappointed with it. I thought it would be a stronger/tougher leather rather than a soft leather.

I cannot however fault the workmanship though and would recommend it.

Just ordered mine, so haven't got it yet, obviously.
But I am excited about the soft leather part. I spent a lot of time looking for a case that was soft leather rather than hard. I love the feel of soft leather, and I think it will do just as good a job protecting the phone from drops, because the soft leather absorbs much of the impact

what you prefer more Beanoir? The soft smooth blue leather leather of the photo above or the leather quality they offer on their website? cause you said that this is your 3rd sleeve form Joli.

Can't make my decision. :-/
