It's not very apparent in the picture, but the finishing of the mute switch could be better. As it is, it's a little rough and sharp.

The carbon fibre sticker is from iCarbons.

Can share on the damage done?

I paid a total of about $111. $92 was for the item and Tenso's buying service and $19 was for Tenso's forwarding service.

I also collected something from the post office today.

Ironically it cost me less and finishing is pretty good. Feels solid as well. I chose to use this over the Sword for now.

The only issue I noticed is that all the buttons are metal and there's nothing to prevent them from scratching the actual buttons on my 5s.

I wanted to buy a cheaper (replica) tough armor; what is the difference between the two? Just the quality of material or workman ship? Got a pix to see the difference?

both. doesn't feel as good, doesn't look as good. I don't know how to upload pix, but protection wise probably 2/3 of original.

Mini Review - Apple leather case (black)





Pros
- very thin, doesn't add bulk
- feels VERY sturdy
- quality feel
- comfortable grip; adds more 'round' to the corners making it A LITTLE closer to shape of 5c
- doesn't collect fingerprint like clear plastic cases and smudges from wet/oily contact wipes off easily
- looks good (subjective)

Cons
- depending on your finger size, silent switch may be difficult to access
- audio jack cut out size doesn't work with earphones of bigger plugs (untested)
- might have the same problem with third party lightning connectors (untested)
- power button requires a little more force to depress; but being leather, it might become easier over time
- without proper method, quite tough to get out
- S$58


Zero regrets.

I think this is the only color worth getting. the other lighter colors are getting really bad reviews.
hope you can update on the case after 2 weeks of wear and tear

My red leather has got black discoloration from my pants pocket. Didn't like that, gave away the case to my cousin.

Didn't like the fact that the casing hides everything. I.e. If you're using a gold or silver 5s.

Even my sgp ultra hybrid has gotten black marks due to pants pocket.

i got the beige colour... actually the feel is solid... i like the grip
As you mentioned, there will be some stains and discolouration.. but that's pretty norm...I am considering to get red & brown or yellow..
