New iPhone Leather Case

[kingston73]

I got my saddle brown yesterday and it looks great plus fits great, no creaks or bulges or anything. It is slick as anything though, I know people have said it will change but how long will it take to "break in"? My last gen case was nearly as slick and slippery as this thing is so hopefully I don't drop it before the leather breaks in and grows some grip.

The sea blue is actually actually aging nicely. My fiancé has been using it for about a month now. See it I can grab some pics tomorrow

what are your thoughts on the midnight blue?

I have the black and the brown leather on my 6 Plus currently so I thought the grey would add a pop of color to the matte black in a professional way

That's what I had on my iPhone 6 and I really liked it. I was also after the same thing you are: something cool but professional and not too showy. It served that purpose nicely, and it looked great with the black screen of my phone, which means it would look great with your MB phone.

Great to hear -- would love to see pics if you're able.

I'm pretty sure some people did not notice the updated design of the iPhone 7/7 Plus Leather Case. There are now "machined aluminum buttons [that] match the finish of your iPhone case." Looks much better than the full leather case on the iPhone 6/6s. Apple's Leather Case is the most durable and nicest looking case (imo) I have ever used and this is from personal experience. I'm currently using a black iPhone 6 Plus case and have been for over 14 months. Dropped it many times and iPhone sustained no damage. Also what I love most is the microfibre lining on the inside which never scratched the back of my iPhone - 2 years later and the aluminum body is scratch-free apart from one tiny dent in the bottom. I'm glad I ordered this again for my 7 Plus. Just wanted to put this out there for those interested.

Is okay if get wet?

Is okay if get wet?

About as okay as it would be for a pair of nice leather shoes or a handbag. By that, I mean that nice, finished leather can take some rain, etc., but water should be wiped off as soon as possible and will change the feel over time or if the exposure is more than minimal. If you think you're going to set your phone in a puddle, opt for a silicone or other waterproof case instead.

Storm grey used since launch:

It's a common problem this year. Apple will exchange it for you.

I've been using the Sea Blue for about three weeks. It still looks brand new.

Wow.

My saddle brown case has aged quite a bit and I'm going to NYC tomorrow and I'm thinking about picking up a new color.

Yeah. There's no black at all. Just a couple white scuffs.

This is my saddle leather case. I have had it since launch. It's looking mighty fine.

Just picked up the Sea Blue tonight.

I actually really like that!

I noticed that dark wash jeans kind of speed up the aging process on the saddle leather. Have you noticed that? Do you wear a lot of denim?

After seeing some the pictures of the sea blue leather case I bought one for my 7plus matte black iPhone. I have three of the Apple leather cases....black, saddle brown and the sea blue.

I bought my Midnight Blue and it's getting dark, is there any way I can avoid it or take it off?

Unfortunate that's the nature of leather. It darkens over time. Embrace it since it shows character and makes it unique.

pity, because if I had known that I would have bought the silicone

No but why would you want to? The leather cases looks SO much better with a bit of wear.

 

[AVBeatMan]

Those with the Apple leather case. Do you treat your case with a leather conditioner or just leave it to age naturally?

 

[kaisheng]

Would love to see the condition of all your cases as of now.
