Default Looking for the ultimate Flaxen accessory?

If you have a GS with the Flaxen interior and an iPhone 5 or 5S, check out the new Apple leather case in the brown color, its an almost perfect match for the Flaxen interior in the GS:



I picked one up today for mine, I'll take a picture of it sitting on one of the seats later.

Pretty cool! Would love to see how the cases hold up after a week or so as I've been eying one. I've heard they wear pretty quickly.

It seems pretty sturdy...the leather is aniline and the box says "This case is made from natural aniline leather, Its appearance will change as you use it". I wonder if people are just commenting on the leather wearing or if they are looking crappy?

The case seems to wear alright after about 2 weeks. Granted I'm a little more careful perhaps than most. But I've seen drop tests and it protects as it should and does tear up pretty clearly. Going with the brown might make it conceal better. But I'm also guessing that it will also allow discoloration from your jeans just like the car seats can in that color. Good case though with a nice feel. And you don't have to worry about the inside of the case tearing up the phone.

I wear mine in a holster. The case fits in the holster too which is a bonus. If anybody wants this case AND a holster, this is the holster:

I have the case in both black and brown and the brown looks real nice. The case feels great and it does wear a bit, but some people like that distressed leather look.
