Dark Olive Silicone 8+ Case

Very nice. I’ve read reviews on apple.com that the color is not actually a dark olive. They say it’s more of a dark grey. And no hint of green. Your pic does show that it is dark olive. Anyone else have this case, please provide feedback.

I would agree. It is more dark grey to me. However, my wife says it does have a hint of green. But honestly, to me, in person, it looks grey.

I have the dark olive as well. The color is truly light dependent

Yea, it definitely seems that way after reading the reviews and watching the YouTube vids. The dark olive was my first color choice, but think I’m going with my second choice, cobalt blue.

My daughter has the cobalt blue on her 7+. 7+ is Matte black and she loves the combination
 
I was in an Apple Store a couple of days ago, looked at Dark Olive and in my opinion is closer to a dark gray with a hint of olive. Depends on where you view it. I decided to purchase and oops, out of stock. Bummer. But a sharp case nonetheless.

That combo looks great! Cobalt blue is bright and vibrant, but not over the top. It will look great on iPhone X Silver ;)
 
Can you post a picture of the bottom part?

It doesn’t have headphone jack cut out. I ordered from Speck not Amazon.

Think the speck cases, like the UAG cases, have that microphone cutout at the bottom. Not a fan of that at all.

Mine doesn’t!

Like ae14 said, the newest ones switched to a big speaker cutout. Better than before but still a lazy fix imo.

Anyone know if they ever fixed the issue with the Speck Presidio Grip series where the rubber was wearing out super fast?
I had one when it first came out last year and the rubber started fraying within a couple of days and looked horrible.

When they first changed them I got one and it was poorly made. IMO they are much better now! Haven’t had any issues!

The wear issue on the grips is only thing that holds me back from trying it. I’ve read plenty mention it.

I really liked the original CandyShell, that I had for my iPhone 6 Plus.
 
Not sure I’d call it brownish but it’s not pitch black either.

Your photo put me over the edge finally. Picked up Apple's black leather case today. Unlike the one for the iPhone 6, this one had no major defects.

Anyone used the Totallee leather case? I’d love the Apple black leather case but don’t want to spend $50, and like the idea of a thinner case too. I’d prefer no case at all but my 8+ just feels too slick sometimes even though the glass is usually more grippy than the aluminum. Mostly when my hands are dry.
 
How much do the Apple cases weigh?

Specifically the Apple leather case and the Apple silicone case for the iPhone 8 plus.
Thanks
