How do you clean the iphone 5s leather case?

I have the leather case that was released along with the iPhone 5s and I was wondering if anybody knew how to get rid of marks that are on it. It hasn't even been a week yet and there already scuff marks all along the edges and corners. Does anybody know how to safely buff them out?

I have tried using toothpaste like one website suggested but it was ineffective. I really like the feel and the fit of the case so I'd like to keep it for a long time if possible.

Meltonian "All-Purpose Cleaner & Conditioner" does an excellent job. If there are scuff marks or scratches on a light colored case, e.g., tan, don't worry if they are highlighted. After the Meltonian dries and you polish the case with a cloth the marks will disappear.

I put a coat of clear plasti-dip when I bought my red leather case 3 months ago. Still looks like new!
