My iPhone 7 case arrived today - black leather. I have already requested a return and refund.
There are markings on the back (I get that this happens with leather, but for £45 I am not prepared to settle for that). And the corners are all rippled.
Neither of these were issues with my iPhone 6 black leather case 2 years ago.
I also think the buttons look very plastic like and cheap.
Photos attached. Hopefully this is just a one off, but thought I'd share in case.

My black case arrived today and looks almost identical to yours, big ripple on the lower right corner, uneven ripples in the surface near the power button and 'flaws' in the leather running up and down the back.
My black leather 5 case was perfect and aside from a tiny flaw in the hide my 6 case was spot on too, this one just feels so much cheaper like the leather's thinner, also the black colour doesn't seem as rich as the other two.
I have bad OCD with these sorts of things so I'm in two minds as what to do.
There's an Apple reseller round the corner from work and I popped in on my way home to see if they'd received any stock of the 7 cases to compare it to. They hadn't, but the guy was understanding and shared the same sentiment that if you're spending £45 on a case it's got to be close to perfect.
He happened to have an opened 6/6S Plus case on the pegs and quickly popped it out to compare and to my surprise it was just as creased on the corners, so perhaps it's a case of live with it as it seems since they moved to the 'blind' packaging the quality has gone down as well and without being able to see the case before you buy, it's a lottery as to wether you get a good one or not!
