Yes sir I have SG. Currently have one Black Apple leather and now have a Forest Green coming tomorrow.
I have a feeling I maybe returning the lemon case and getting the Forrest green.

Edit: I really like how bright this case is. I’ll keep it for now.

That is cool man. I thought about getting it, but it was just too bright looking for my liking. I prefer darker colors in general though. I mean, look at my avatar lol.

Wow, so far this case has already picked up two small light blue stains. They’re tiny, but I can notice them. Maybe I should return this bad boy and continue to use my red case which is starting to already darken nicely.

Edit: I’m back in the red case and will more than likely be returning the yellow case.

Bummer! Dang but if I were you I’d still rock the yellow and any tinting chalk it up to the character process. Most people wouldn’t even rock a yellow case.

Added the Speck Presido Pro black and Smartish Kung Fu Grip black to my collection (based on https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-iphone-cases/)

1st impressions:
Smartish Kung Fu Grip: wow... this a tiny very nice feeling very grippy case! For a proper price! The sides have a sort of wave-construction of very grippy but not really rubbery material. Feels good. Buttons okay.

Speck Presidio Pro: wohow... that soft matte feeling is seriously great. This case gives a protected feeling without being very bulky - a bit on the wide side however. The back is quite a fingerprint magnet though, looks very oily.

2nd impressions:
Otterbox Symmetry: hard plastic, back is very slippery, buttons great, thick which gives the impression protection is okay. The back is frustrating me however, when on a flat table you can't operate the phone as it slides all over the place.

Caudabe Sheath: sooo thin... nice grippy texture, buttons good, tiny raised lip so if the phone falls on anything but a totally flat surface (so typically on the street) it will damage the screen, case is so thin I wonder what happens when it drops and hits a corner. The "2m drop tested" is a nice claim, but I can't find a (recent) drop test anywhere.

My case ratings based on drop-confidence (of the all cases I have now):
1. Speck Presidio Pro ($$)
1. Otterbox Symmetry ($$)
3. Mous Clarity ($$$)
4. Smartish Kung Fu Grip ($)
4. Tech21 Evo Check ($$)
6. Mous Limitless 3.0 ($$$)
7. Caudabe Sheath ($$)

My overall case ratings:
1. Smartish Kung Fu Grip - grippy, cheap, is it protective enough though?
1. Speck Presidio Pro - grippy, protective, oily back doesn't look good
1. Otterbox Symmetry - grippy (besides back), great buttons, protective
4. Tech21 Evo Check - ok
5. Caudabe Sheath - great feeling case but its just too thin to use without worries
6. Mous Clarity - nah... bulky, sharp edges, expensive
7. Mous Limitless 3.0 - nah... bulky, hard edges, no grip whatsoever, hard plastic, expensive

I now officially stop buying cases for the '11. I think.

Eh, just opened and closed 20 apps, swipped up and down, across, while phone is sitting on a smooth office desk, didn't move 1 mm in my Black OB Symmetry.

Got my forest green leather in today and I can’t believe how slippery it is compared to my broken in black leather. I feel once broken in they provide sufficient amount of grip

I do not trust my Otterbox Symmetry or UAG cases for drop protection as they have loose bottom lips.
