Honestly for those who are still doubting this case you haven't given it long enough.
I have had my saddle brown for literally 8 days and it's awesome.
1- grip definitely comes after a week or two, no doubt.
2- patina is so damn nice, if you don't like it- use a water based conditioner and wash your dirty hands!
3- fit, no issue here- it will form around your phone.
4- quality is definitely above that of the previous generation, also more resistant to those deep scratches of the 6.
5- stiffness of buttons, 100% soft and clicky after a week, more you use it more soft it feels
6- get a skin to protect the bottom for the ultimate sexy look (better for those who own the space grey version)
Here are some pics- feel free to ask questions if you like.
