New iPhone Leather Case

[mtcowdog]

Ordered the midnight blue with my new iP7. Beautiful and buttons work perfectly. Unfortunately my wife tried it on her iP6 and loved it. The camera cutout is off but doesn't effect pictures. So that's not my case. lol

And to those who don't like grain imperfections, that's part of leather's appeal to me. Each is unique and over time the wear just adds delightful character.

Looks great man!
[doublepost=1474124124][/doublepost]For anyone looking for something that offers full coverage there's the Nomad leather case, just picked it up at Best Buy for 39.95 for the plus. Really nice, quality leather and snug fit.

Immediately after I submerged the Apple Leather one in the espresso grounds last night I saw the Nomad one haha.

That one looks fantastic! I may have to get one just to have 2 Leather ones and one clear Speck one for actual protection.

Interested to see how the Sea Blue looks in person. Ordered one nonetheless.

I ordered the black for my iPhone 7 and went to Apple Store this morning to swap it out for midnight blue. Nice, rich color. I like the contrast of the darker colored buttons.

They have black too, at BB at least...I'll put pics up if I ever get my phone lol. Put it on my wife's RG+ and it was perfect. I'll try to put pics up of that. Can't decide if I want the brown or black on my MB+

For those of you who have had previous 6s and 6s leather covers, any difference in weight? Or feel? Thanks!

 

[AppleKing...]

This the exact combination I'm going with, the grey on the black looks so smooth and cool to me. NICE!

Few pics of my (matte) black 7 Plus in Storm Gray case compared to my Space Gray 6s Plus in the black leather case. I've picked the black leather for the past 2 years so I was looking forward to the new color option and I definitely like it. I also appreciate the addition of physical buttons this year. Upon taking pictures I realized that the colors are basically inversed/inverted this time around with my choices. Black case with a gray phone and then a gray case with a black phone.

As a few others have alluded to, trying to find a perfect leather case is difficult if not impossible. I've been using Apple leather cases for a few years now and have found they all have imperfections. In fact, my 6s case started to 'bubble' on the sides a bit in the past few months - it may be visible in the photos. So while they are definitely a premium price ($50 in the states) they are slim, elegant, and most importantly help protect the phone. In a few months there will be small scrapes, nicks, and other blemishes on the case and you'll soon forget that it wasn't perfect to begin with. It also shows that the case is doing it's job - protecting your phone.

I have a black iPhone 7 and just purchased a storm grey leather Apple case for it. The combo looks superb!

Any pics

Post a few photos without the phone if you can, would appreciate it, does it cover the entire front of the phone or is there an opening near the lightning port like they had on the iPhone 6 case?

See my previous posts, in short, yes, the weight's about the same but the quality and finish is dire this year. I'm on my second case (the first was shocking) but I'm still unhappy with the creases (also discovered there's a horizontal crease running across the back too which you can feel). Might try and find a better example at a later date but suspect they're all as bad I'm afraid!

Think I'm going to return mine in store tomorrow, it's nice but I'm enjoying the phone without it much more this time round.

Just bought the black leather for my 7+. Opened the box and the case has no Apple logo and has 2 lines across the case?!?! Is it normal? Thinking about returning it.

Where did you buy it? It is supposed to have a logo.

Apple Store in Montreal, Canada.

 

[danny8200]

They all have the logo. That's weird.

Any chance I got a fake one? I looked in the inside and it doesn't have any Apple writing.... It also feels very light compared to the iPhone 6 version. Very weird

Was debating an Apple leather case but after seeing I had $20 in BB rewards that expired today I pulled the trigger on this. Look forward to pics from you, my phone won't be here for at least a week either...

 

[rijc99]

wish i was as brave as you lol, i have the jet black preordered as well and the only reason im not buying the official apple leather case which i used on both my previous iphone 6s and iphone 6 is the open part on the bottom, knowing that the jet black finish is delicate from the early reviews made me not want to have a scratched and swirly bottom on my jet black iphone 7 plus.. i didnt care for the open bottom on the leather case with the iphone 6 and 6s because the bottom part is satin matte anyways and it rarely scratches

i personally ordered this case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GIWG3D6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

What do you think?

looks like its a great minimalistic case haven't received it yet

It looks pretty good however it's so covered up that you wouldn't even be able the phone was jet black. Also the tpu looks kinda soft so you might accumulate grit under the case which will scratch your phone.

How's the thickness compared to Apple's?

Here's the brown on my wife's RG+ w/ tempered glass protector.

I got the grey leather for usage with my iPhone 7 plus black and it looks great. I'll pass this to my fiancé once my jet-black arrives in about a weeks time and I've decided to go with the seablue leather.

can't wait to see some pics of the sea blue leather with the jet-black as well. delivery is on the 28th for mine.

if only apple had a matching apple watch strap.

 

[brobstfish]

Does the new leather case protect the camera bump on the 7 plus? if not I may return the one I got before my phone comes.
