For those who use their iPhones naked do you notice with time the alumnium of the phone seems to absorb our natural body oils and loses the dry/matte feel? I notice when I get new iPhone the aluminium feels much better likely due to not being exposed to regular finger and hand touching.

Anyone else experience this? Any way to prevent this without a new case?

Agreed. I have a 6s Plus and an iPhone 7. The 7 has a much more sandy feel, as to where my 6s had this at the beginning, but has a more smooth texture over time.

Yop, agree. Noticed it with my 6, too, even though I have to say that I don't really mind as it still feels quite nice after two years of touching and grabbing. :)


It's the inherent good design. I say the same thing about the wife after 7 years.


(the feeling nice after years of touching and grabbing bit, not the sandy bit) :D
