In the end, I'm glad i went with the Apple case. My saddle brown X case has a very nice patina so far. Looks like it will be even better throughout the year.

Mine is really looking good after I removed the top was like layer from the Apple case in saddle brown then applied two coats of leather conditioner on it. Before I removed that was layer the conditioner would not even absorb as that was layer only repelled it. Now it’s extra soft with extra good grip plus it looks amazing now compared to how it looked out of the box

I received my Apple iPhone X case in leather (saddle brown) on Nov 1 and was disappointed. Felt too smooth/plasticky and had only a faint smell of leather. I used it when the iPhone X arrived on Nov 3rd but immediately placed an order for the Sena Bence Leather Skin Snap case in brown. That case just arrived and is everything the Apple one should have been.

Packaging was nice with a large box and extra black pouch.

iPhone fit is perfect.

The leather has a textured feel and matte appearance. Great leather smell.

The buttons are MUCH nicer than the Apple version with a shiny aluminum finish that is far better than Apple's brown colored ones.

Just had to share some photos of them side by side.

Note: I paid for the case and have no connection with Sena.

How do you like the SENA? How is the fit, leather quality and the buttons? thinking of ordering one for my Ten R.

Those last two pictures that OP posted of the backs of Apple leather and Sena leather next to each other definitely makes the Sena leather look like it's of better quality leather.

I got the Sena Racer X case a couple of months ago in black and blue and I absolutely love it. The leather isn’t the same type as the apple cases and it’s shown little to no wear since September when I got it. Works great with my 3D glass screen protector too. This particular one also feels padded so it’s easier to grip. Wish I had gotten it from day one.

Anyone has a close up of the SENA Case showing the cutouts for camera, silent alert slider and the buttons? Really like to see those details. Thanks again.
