It feels very similar to the sports band for the Apple Watch if you have one to compare. So far throughout my use today I managed to pick up no lint after tossing it in and out of a bag, sitting it in my lap, etc. if it continues this way I'll be quite satisfied since it matches my Watch band color.
 
Also note the silicone is slightly thicker than the leather case - not happy with the chunky feeling of the silicone case. Been using the new saddle brown leather case for a few days now.
 
I picked up a light blue silicone one today. (Never going Apple leather again, the mark too easy)
Looked at the apple phone dock too but the looked really cheap compared to the BOSE one I already have, so ended up passing on that at $50 and got some BOSE noise cancelling headphones instead.
 
For those with an Apple Watch, would you say the new silicone cases feel like the Apple Watch sports band? Cos I love their texture and smoothness!

Got a saddle brown leather case but thinking of a new silicone one too
 
I have an old case and new case sitting in front of me and I can confirm the new one's are softer. The old ones feel like rubber and have a bit of rubber grippy ness. The new one is much softer, almost feels like satin like fabric or something. Yes, I'm bad at describing things.

That's good to know. Have you used the new one and does it collect lint and dust as much as the old one?

Does it feel like the Apple Watch Sport band?

I haven't used it yet since I'm "saving" it for my new phone haha

It feels softer than AW sport band. The old silicon cases feel closer to the AW sport band to me.

I've already answered this question earlier in the thread. It's softer than the sports band, but similar? It doesn't attract lint like the old cases did. I'm running the lavender case currently and just received the pink one today.
 
Midnight blue here - goes lovely with my matching watch band

Always use hard plastic case and never thought of buying the silicone case before

But now considering seriously after seeing how beautiful the combination of rose gold phone with lavender case

Mainly concerns whether it catches dust easily
And I'm not supposed to clean it with alcohol, right?
Any more idea??!
 
I'm curious how the Antique White silicone would look on the the Silver/white phone in practice -- could be a nice combo.

I know the antique white looks like it has a slight yellow tinge to it but when I see the antique white band with the gold sport it honestly looks like a less bright white. I think it would look awesome!
