Is the black Apple silicone case a fingerprint/smudge magnet? Been a while since I had an Apple silicone.

Getting the black phone, which color should I go for? black, green or gray?

Grey, Green, Black, Fuchsia are staying to go with Desert Ti.

Both blues and plum (used alot previously) not too sure.

Black silicone is the worst fingerprint/smudge/lint magnet out of all the colors. You can’t run from the smudges and lint on silicone cases but darker silicones show everything more. I ordered Gray. Gray is the perfect neutral that goes with whatever color iPhone you get in my opinion.

Desert Ti seems to be a tough color to pair with cases, although the camera area is the only area showing the color.

So, definitely not the blues?

Among cases with a cutout, to my eye the Pitaka Pro when paired with the black phone is one of the least obvious/offensive. Would still much prefer a covered CC button though.

The last black one I had (couple of years ago) was medium smudgy. I ordered the black along with the gray which I’ll use if the black smudges end up being too annoying.

Just ordered black & gray myself, delivery on Friday ;)

I'm having Caudabe action button flashbacks, big open hole for months until they figure out what Apple did with their silicone cases o_O


...and they won't confirm whether the action button hole will feature a conductive layer. Tried to get that information out of them and they avoided the question. I have a feeling I'm going to regretably go with an Apple Silicon case this year.
 
Yeah, me too. I suspect there’s a reason none of their marketing photos show the lower half of the phone. :rolleyes:

Think I'll place my order today for an Apple silicone case that has the conductive action button layer.

If per chance Caudabe announces on Friday that their cases support the action button (with an actual conductive layer included), I'll return the Apple case and get a refund.
 
I can’t wait to see the gray. It kinda grew on me. I just hope for spring they do some of the light colors again..

They stopped doing winter colors correct? It’s been awhile since I bought cases
