Thought-provoking question about the iPhone leather case

Hello. I'm a bit obsessed and a bit of a neat freak. I bought the original leather case from Apple's authorized dealer, but when I came home and opened it, the box felt strange, as if it had been opened before. When I looked at the case, I'm not sure if it was obvious on the leather, but it seemed like there were cracks and dimples due to use. Again, the place where I bought the product is a store and Apple's authorized dealer. Do you think this case has been used? Or are these marks normal because it is leather? I am waiting for your support.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

That case doesn't look used at all and leather by virtue of the fact it is cowhide will have imperfections naturally. One thing which is guaranteed is the leather will age with use and if you are in the least OCD about something staying pristine, leather is likely not the best choice. As long as you are OK with the fact it will wear, you'll be fine.
