Hi all!
-Been fighting with this forever...I have read on the forums a couple of times how the leather used in the newer Apple leather cases is somehow different. It made sense to me, because I bought one of the newer cases for my 7 Plus and could never get over how slippery it was. I did everything to try and make it LESS slippery. Put oil on it, rubbed it as much as I could, even took a file to it to rough it up a little. It would be better for a bit, but then would go back to being slick again.
-After letting this bother me for a good amount of time, I couldn't stand it. Mostly because I remember past leather cases being so good. Much more grippy but still premium feeling. So, I bought an old 6S Plus Apple leather case and have cut out the camera hole so that the dual camera system isn't blocked on the back of my 7Plus....sure, it looks a little janky, but the OLD leather is SO MUCH FREAKIN' BETTER!
-I know someone is going to tell me I'm crazy, but you're not going to change my mind. The old leather was better. I don't know what they've done to it, but it's changed. So, stock up on them old cases folks!
