My leather case from Parkfield Supplies finally came in. I like everything about it but the magnets are nowhere near as strong as those in my Apple leather case and the overall fit and finish just aren’t as tight as Apple. Probably returning it.

Looks too thick to me? Bigger front lip? Why are you still hunting a leather case?

There is this no idea if any good?

It's really not much thicker than Apple's leather case. The front lip seems about the same.

The folks at Parkfield offered a free replacement/exchange so I guess I'm keeping the case. I've got it back on the phone this morning and the biggest thing that stands out to me is the grip. The Apple case, as many know, has a very sticky feeling grip while the Parkfield case is pretty slippery. I'm going to roll with it for a while and see if it grows on me.

Thanks for the link. They only offer black and brown and I really prefer having some shade of blue when I do leather because of how great it looks once the heavy patina has set in. It looks pretty much black but has slight hints of blue in the right light and the blue buttons look amazing with the darker case.
