So dropped my 4s and vodasure replaced it with a shiny new 5s :-)

Anyone know where one can get the Apple designed iPhone 5s covers?

I tried the iStore and they said that they don't know when they will get them... :confused:

Check out e-style they do the covers for it and free counter to counter delivery
 
Cooler Master Aluminium Bumper is decent, although it leaves most of the back of your phone open.
 
With no updates to this thread, here's mine:

Got two new 5S' and went hunting for the new Apple cases. My local iStore had blue and yellow in stock, of which I bought one of each. Blue for me and yellow for the wifie.

They are stunning. Best covers I've ever had and much better quality than Speck. Protection seems similar with a protection right around the phone with good impact protection from the leather.

On that note, the covers are genuine leather and a fine one at that too. Aniline. Silky smooth and very pleasing to the eye. Quite pricey R549 but well worth it IMHO.

Quite like the Apple embossing on the back too. The inner lining is a microfiber of sorts.

I was looking at getting one of these but I just wanted to know how easily it attracts dirt.

On another forum, a guy had his black case replaced because the blue dye from his jeans stained his red one.
Is it that easy to dirty?
 
I have read about similar complaints on the net but so far so good for me. I'm not sure what the recommended leather cleaner would be but guys using alcohol on leather...yeah um not a good idea.

I'm actually a bit confused. You mentioned a red one and it doesn't exist on the Apple site...yet I saw it today for myself. Stunning.

iStore Clearwater Mall has all the colours in stock.

Yeah I think it's probably how you look after your things.

But a leather case is very interesting. Aniline you say? That is impressive stuff.. I want one in Brown :love:

I just checked on the American Apple store online and the red one is there. The beige looks cool too..

I got the black one in December, still looks great. Did have a nasty drop while on holiday which damaged the leather on one corner.

Used some shoe polish and buffed it a bit and you cannot notice the damaged section.

I'd say its the best cover that I have ever had. It has a very nice tactile feel.

I would shy away from the light colours and the red, I imagine that repairing them after a scuff would not be as easy.
