I wish you guys would stop posting these saddle brown pictures. It looks so nice after it ages and you keep making me want to buy one!

Not gonna lie... I took my saddle brown case off for the last 2 weeks but after this thread I just swapped it back on haha

Do you guys ever worry about getting these cases wet?

Using 7 plus case on 8 plus.
Have 2 other apple leather cases but saddle brown is my fav.

I bought a saddle brown case for my X a few days ago. You guys.

almost a month using the case. still love it. have dropped it a few times from my couch arm rest and hit my brick fireplace. a small gouge on the bottom corner but the phone itself is still perfect. the scuff ended up rounding itself out so hardly noticeable.

Same here - I have an Apple midnight blue leather case and a clear case from Amazon. Always liked darker colors. But now I may buy an Apple Saddle brown to my mix and see how it ages.

I’m very tempted by the saddle brown. Is the leather fairly “grippy”?

Aubergine purchased on launch. I have really oily/acidic hands too. Hasn't changed much after a month.

I'm loving these photos though guys! Thanks for the share!

Depends, if you have dry hands then no. If you have fairly moist then it’s not too bad.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure to say it without sounding gross, but for me the leather seems a little grippier than the silicone, I think because the leather makes my hands sweat ever so slightly when I’m holding my phone for awhile.

So far so good!

How are you guys avoiding pockmarks/mini dings/impressions. My saddle brown is covered in them.

 

[Precursor]

That's what makes it beautiful!

Avoid them? You do know what the point is of using a case? You use it to protect your phone from... [insert drumroll] pockmarks, mini dings, impressions. So yeah, no wonder the case has these marks. So does mine. If you don't want that, you better could have bought a hard case. Leather is a fairly soft material of course.

Don't be rude, there's nothing wrong with trying to keep your case in a good condition.
The appropriate advice here, however, is that leather cases aren't the best cases when it comes to longevity due to its material - at least if you wish to maintain the original appearance of the case.

After 1 week...

Loving the grip now

Avoid carrying an iPhone in a leather case in a pocket alongside keys and loose change - leather is very soft.
