I do, but this case isn't on all the time. Primarily I use it in the car (with a magnetic mount). Colour can and does transfer, and if that bothers you, you'd need to be pretty proactive about cleaning it daily. I clean it and microfiber it a lot, because I don't feel this colour would patina well.
I'd say go and get it, it's a vibrant, fun colour! If you're in the US, it goes on sale for $25-35 every now and then.

Nah. You'll definitely take a big hit in quality vs the Apple case.
Trust me because I've been there before: Just get the official case. It's expensive but it'll just be the only purchase (unless you got a case collecting hobby lol) that you'll need because the cases are quality.

Taken it off now. I do think that the space grey phone matches most cases better than the others. Definitely going back to SG this year.
Thanks. I have the same colour for my AW4.
Just ordered the case, should be here by 3rd March.

I still can not bring myself to use any of the other cases besides the saddle brown 😔

Any chance of getting a name for the company you got it from?

Where I live, the value of all those cases is about the same as a used iPhone XS! Can't believe you bought so many! Must be fun to change it up though based on your mood.
Looks pretty good man!

I appreciate it! I ended up ordering this last night, so if it doesn't work out I'll give your recommendation a shot.

This is my Red Apple leather case. Had it since I bought my iPhone 11 Pro Max.
I will add, I switch back and forth between my Red case, and my Black Apple leather case.
Just ordered a Yellow one, too. Expected for delivery on 3rd March

Is that the midnight green?
I feel like the older saddle brown cases for previous model phones were a much better quality leather. I think the 6/6s apple saddle brown cases used to come with a care card that this specific leather aged nicely. These newer cases age in a really weird manner.

Wait, hang on, are you STILL in the Apple shop?
The color of the desk, makes it seem that way

I might have to get a new one soon, mine is pretty scuffed up now. This has definitely been my favorite case though, I'm not even tempted to take it off and use my phone naked anymore! 😁
Here’s my red leather case. I’ve been using it for about a month now. It’s gotten darker already. The last pic is from when I first purchased it. I also had the yellow case, but ended up returning it after only using it for a couple of hours. It had already taken on some of the dye from my jeans leaving a tiny blue speckle on the top of the case that I couldn’t “unsee” lol. I just had a feeling I was going to get it super dirty really fast and didn’t want a dingy looking case. Although, my saddle brown and red leather do look dingy. Oh well. My black leather case still looks pristine.This is my Red Apple leather case. Had it since I bought my iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Here is my iPhone 11 leather cover’s patina! 😄
For the process I rubbed it for a long time with a kitchen paper towel and a lot of olive oil.
Only two weeks of use 😊
I m really proud of it

I do not recall the care card when I had my 6s, but I do remember they use age so nicely. I have come to the conclusion that Apple may have changed dye not the leather itself which is why these cases not age is nice as they use to, but they also feel more synthetic. It was probably because people use to complain so much of easily they wood darken.
I agree too, I’m not loving the new saddle brown case for the 11 pro the way I did for my iPhone X
