I saw Sunflower (and Geranium) in store, if you ask me, they honestly look way, way more impressive than the new silicone colours.
It looks like Apple picked up on the positive feedback for Sapphire, because the two new colours feature both the nice texture + that "pop" that Sapphire has to it.
Can anyone post the two new colors? I'm thinking of the sunflower but don't want to use for less than three months when the next iPhone comes out.

You did? Does the sunflower color look like the online pictures or does it look different in person?
I'm tempted to pick one up after work today. I'm wondering if it looks darker or brighter than in the online pictures?
Go for it, always nice to have something pleasant to look forward to after work such as getting something new from the Apple Store
I indeed saw the new leather cases, this was yesterday when they received stock a day early. They were really kind/chill about letting me sample them, and the girl serving me even took a genuine interest herself in trying on the cases on her phone, which is always nice to see some enthusiasm from an employee for their company.
Anyways on topic, I did get to see them, Sunflower looks fantastic. Geranium does too, it looks like some exotic summer fruit, idk, or think of a sunset. I imagine you'll like it, I did.
Sunflower looks as if does online, a bright yellow, Geranium also looks as it is.Tbh the only bad thing now is (directly from a GOOD thing) we now arguably have way too much choice with the leather and silicone ahaha it's making decisions really tough (and I ended up returning my midnight blue leather to subsidise one of these special edition colours), and given how imminent the iPhone 8 is, I know these summer colours won't be around for long ^
Last years leather yellow for the 6s, was called Marie-Gold or something, (that one sure wasn't around long lol), that was bumblebee yellow (a somewhat darker yellow). This new Sunflower one is deffo brighter than last year. It has that exact same distinct pop to it that Sapphire has! Hmmm must be a Wide Colour Gamut
just kidding!
That does look really good!!! Now wondering should I swap mist blue and upgrade ahah well I got two more weeks to decide

I saw the yellow leather in real life and it's a pretty yellow. My only concern was that it will eventually turn a dingy yellow and look like a dirty mustard. My saddle brown looks dingy. Also, the feel of the leather isn't as smooth as my berry. I ended getting a silicone in blue mist. My first silicone case.
I'm loving the feel of silicone and I love the color. I have the matte black.And how are you liking it?
If you're concerned about this, then go with Pollen Silicone; then you have a +- guarantee it'll stay the colour you bought it in, but then again you've already bought Mist blue.
I saw the pollen silicone and it's more of a pale pastel yellow, while the leather just looked darker, which I prefer. The silicone in pollen just didn't do it for me.If you're concerned about this, then go with Pollen Silicone; then you have a +- guarantee it'll stay the colour you bought it in, but then again you've already bought Mist blue.
They are intended to be 2 different colors albeit slight. Sunflower(Leather) VS Pollen(Silicone)
So far really liking my sunflower color leather case. Really pops out.
Fair enough man. I get you, believe me, I personally feel (this is just my opinion) the two black iPhone 7's, with silicone, I feel like, for silicone, they go better with either dark colours (the ones released Autumn 2016), or simply a full-on white contrast. Mist Blue, I'm sure we can agree, is basically almost white-passing.
Its why I'm otherwise not too keen on the Spring and Summer 2017 Silicone colours - they're way too bright and crayon-like and as such, favour those with the white-faced iPhones. No problem, I got the Sapphire leather instead
That looks pretty damn nice.
That looks amazing! Did you apply any coatings or anything on it? If so, please share what products you used. Also, have you ever wiped the case with a damp cloth or anything? Any tips on what you did or didn't do would be highly appreciated!
...not being funny but that looks 100% exactly like my Midnight Blue leather case?!?! Surely the Sapphire is a much lighter blue?
