Apple Silicone Cases - iPhone 16 Series

Tried getting used to the stickiness this year but still couldn’t.

Mine went back, thought they were better this year initially but it turned into the same greasy, linty mess as last year. Expensive also. Currently using an “Apple leather” case from AliExpress which I am actually really pleased with. Could have 5 for the price of the Silicon. It’s not leather but it’s not bad and mimics the old leather cases I used to love well. The fact it’s not leather might actually make it wear a bit better also.

Well, "mess" is a bit exaggerated.. it's just so hard to get it into and out of my pockets. When it was new it was OK.

Yes, I went on record as saying this year's silicone cases seemed much better, but I am also finding this issue again and those really annoying smudges and fingerprints are back...

Does the colour have any bearing on performance? Do lighter / brighter colours perform better? The sun-glow case on my 14 seemed better at shrugging off the marks and also felt nicer in the hand throughout its life.
