I’m glad that this thread is still going strong, I’ve been wearing leather on my iPhones since the 6s and after seeing some of the saddle brown cases I got my own for my Xs.
it’s been on for 9 months and i still can’t be happier, I’m getting the 11pro and can’t decide if i want to go green, midnight blue, or brown again. The one thing i do know is it will be another Apple leather case.
please keep the pictures coming!!!
 
Here’s my Meyer yellow lemon 🍋. I wish I got one that has more texture, this one is very smooth

Thanks to this awesome thread that made me go and buy my leather case for my 18 month old iPhone. Also ended up purchasing nomad case for AirPods. Day 5 picture. Hoping for some patina action.

What the stain from, i have had liquids drip on my brown case. I just rub them with my dry thumb, same for scuffs and after a few minutes they kind of just disappear...
If that makes any sense.

Photoshop works as well!!! 👍🏼

Apple saddle brown used daily since 10/10. My new mous contour case came in the mail today. I’ll try it for a couple of days.

Edit: Immediately after swapping cases I noticed a huge gap at end bottom of the phone and where the charging port is located. The material is very loose and flopping around when barely touched. I swapped the apple case back onto my phone and the mous case will be returned.

It's just water or water with soap
 
I have a conflict of interest... I am a member of patina proud but... also I am an amateur car detailer and I have some specific product for the leather ... a part of me is with patina proud, the other would clean and restore it... WTF :D
