Nope, I don't, but now that you mention it, I see Storm Grey discontinued too in my store.....tututut


In any case, here's a nearly 3 week old Sapphire case for me :) I have to say, it's starting to look more like it's stock photo (which Dino F posted), very pleased

Has anybody actually dropped their leather case? If so, what happened?

Mine fell from a table (or was it a shelf) onto a cement floor. iPhone 7+ survived just fine as it landed on a protected corner... Slight ding on the leather case that was easy to rub out...

Anyone else finding their leather case a little bit of lint magnet?!

Its not the case itself, it's just that because I have a tempered glass protector (not edge to edge), this then creates a small empty channel between the edge of the protector and the edge of the case, which now gets full of dust, every time the phone goes in and out of my pockets!!

...probably just my OCD!!!!!
:rolleyes::p

That is because of the screen protector leaving a small gap between it and the case. Not much you can do about it.

How many times a day do you find yourself cleaning it?

The one thing I prefer about the leather cases is actually their resistance to picking up lint. And which colour do you have out of curiosity, Dino?

The silicone cases are terrible in this regard. Actually at least the iPhone 7 cases are.

The iPhone 6s silicone cases never really attracted lint for me, they were perfect. The iPhone 7 cases however, idk, they definitely changed something. Because whenever I take my ocean blue case out of my pocket, the top is coated in lint and i never had this with my 6s case...

Fix it by getting an e2e protector. The zagg lux works perfectly with the leather case, plus because the exposed bottom edge is plastic you don't have to worry about it chipping.

...edge to edge protectors do not work with Apple cases.

I had an edge to edge protector and used this with the Spigen Liquid Air case (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MT1G4E6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), which is one of THE most minimalist cases you can get, however, even with this case on, when you pressed the edge of the case, it would cause the edge to edge protector to bubble (reason being was that the edge of the protector was actually touching the edge of the case). Apple cases have an even bigger edge so I highly doubt any edge to edge protector would even fit , with an Apple case.....

Well, I'm sorry to tell you that you are just plain wrong with this statement. I've had my zagg on for months with the leather case and it does NOT come into contact with the case, much less push the edges up. Before the zagg I used several other e2e's including the orzly, the thanotec, and at least 2 others that I forget the names of and ALL of them worked with the leather case.

Spigen cases are notorious for not working well with e2e screen protectors, the spigens wrap further around the edge than many other cases. You can't use your experience with 1 single screen protector and case combo and extend it to anything else, all combinations are different. You're just going to have to trust me when I say that the zagg and the apple case work perfectly well together.

Just got a Saddle Brown Leather Case from Apple for my black matte 7 Plus, couldn't be happier. Love the leather scent from the case too. It's real leather right?

I'm happy to be proved wrong.....

The only Zagg Lux I can find on Amazon (UK), is this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ZAGG-Clari...TF8&qid=1493898370&sr=8-23&keywords=zagg+luxe

.....don't think I am willing to spend £35 on a single screen protector though:eek:
