Sell me on Apple Leather Case

[C6TX6]

There is a reviewer that does 50' drop tests and dropped the X in a leather case. It fell exactly face down. He had a tempered glass screen protector and that was destroyed. Peeled it back and the display and glass was 100% unharmed! The overlapping edge of the leather was chewed up as expected. I was impressed at that one.

Of course, if it fell on the edge it would have been a different story altogether. Fortunately, most drops aren't from over 5' let alone 50'!

I like the feel of the leather case. It's weird having the bottom open. I get it, in order to have that covered and have enough room for the lightning connector means the surrounding material is really thin. And that's why they tend to break off. Thick cases like the otterbox ones have enough material to be sturdy enough.

Do the leather cases get as grippy as the silicone after some use? I’m almost convinced I need one after reading this thread. They look great on the phone.

They sure do.

I prefer the silicone cases because they have a better grip and wear better.

Thats the first I’ve heard of that. Typically the leather ages better.

Yup... silicone ends up looking dirty and nasty, with shinny spots where you grab it most often.

The leather cases change colour over time and show scratches as. Scuffs.



None of the silicone case from Apple I’ve used have ever gotten dirty or shown marks.

However it just depends on what you prefer.

I have a leather case on my 8 plus. It’s a bit slick, but does have a nice feel to it.

The slickness should wear off and then it will become a comfortable grip and feel.

Looks like the image controls get hidden by the keyboard... and no way to access them. Hopefully this gets fixed soon!!

Apple case user also. Love them. They are pricey, but they are good quality and minimalistic (I hate cases on phones).

 

[joemd60]

After a week or so with my Apple leather case. I agree, it’s minimalistic, and I am happy with my purchase.

I wish they would release the storm gray case for the Max. I don’t always use a case but that is the color I like best. For now I have the black leather.
