I think it might be over now, I saw it but can't find it either. I'd suggest looking at ebay for "open box" type deals, I paid only $30 for mine. If you do though be careful because there are definitely fakes, 1 guy was selling an "authentic apple leather case" for the iphone 7 plus but it had leather buttons instead of the new metal buttons. I even emailed him asking if it was possibly the wrong description and was for a 6+ and he claimed it was definitely for a 7...um, no, sorry.

Link to the deal? Can't find it anywhere..

Expired. Was especially sweet because all Apple cases were also about 15% off. Grabbed 2 iPhone 7 leather cases and a Product (RED) 7+ case for the Mrs. Very rare to get such a deal on Apple OEM cases, i.e. 3 cases for $75.

I figured, stopped in at Best Buy on my lunch break and they told me the same. They didn't even have a single 7 plus case in stock...

Went to the Apple Store after work with the intention to get a saddle brown leather case. The worker showed me his patinad one... it looked amazing. He called another worker over and he showed me his patinad sea blue case.. incredible! Insanely hard decision to make seeing them side by side. Ended up going with sea blue. Honestly I'll probably end up getting the saddle brown one as well eventually.

Wish I snapped a pic of them side by side. Can't go wrong with either one IMO.

I have the Black Leather for iphone 7 and it feels great. It is slightly more slippery than the Silicone cases. The side buttons are what make this case better than others. I was lucky and got it from Amazon with a 10 dollar discount.

I don't know that covering the bottom equals protection, the Sheath is pretty thin. I guess more scratch protection?

Covering the bottom would help against falling against objects that are not flat. However I've never been that concerned about open bottom style cases. Most of mine are that way.

Does anyone else find the volume up button sticks on the new leather cases? It happens a couple of times a day but didn't happen at the start so i think it's too late for an exchange

Can anyone tell me if the leather cases survive jeans pockets? D:

I used to have a red one and after a few days on my pockets, it gor all ugly.. my friend had the same case but her phone was always in her purse.. after a month mine looked so much worse than hers.

What is everyone's thought about a new color release? Sometimes Apple will do this.
