Apple Leather case care+cleaning

So this is my first leather case and wondering what regular care entails? I'm not planning on forcing patina just weekly wiped downs. I'm repping the Orange case this year so a bit nervous given last year's Golden Brown patina.

As a regular user of Apple's leather cases, I wouldn't even care or clean them with any spray, liquid or water. Just use it as it gets dirty and grimy (it gets better, smoother, more supple this way)

Once you spray it and clean it with something, it'll never look, feel and smell the same. Essentially ruining the point of the case lol. Trust me, ask me how I know lol. It's super tempting to do it but it's not worth it.

The least I would do it wipe it down with a dry microfiber cloth to get rid of anything on the outer layer of the leather. But liquids, conditioners, etc? Pass!

Appreciate the insight. Thanks for reconfirming my initial thoughts.

i have a launch day orange leather case, almost 2 weeks of wear now and it’s maybe just a little less vibrant. I have wiped it down once to avoid some staining from jeans but besides that wouldn’t worry about it too much. I hope it ages more like a brown than how the poppy leather wallet did.

First time iPhone leather case user. Always bought other cases. Fan of Torras cases. I have to say, after using an Apple leather case, I may never go back to another case. Super impressed how slim it keeps the phone.
