You wouldn't be able to tell the difference in size, 0.1mm is about the thickness of a piece of paper. It's nothing and you're surely experiencing a placebo effect. The extra weight may be noticeable, but not the size.

Being in a job that uses materials much smaller than 0.1mm I think I would notice the 0.2mm difference, plus like you said the extra weight helps. ;)
 
Which store had these?

I went to both NYC 5th Ave and Grand Central stores yesterday looking for these and they didn't have them and told me "they aren't making them anymore".
 
Pass! I had the red leather Apple case for my iPhone 5 and the it looked so scuzzy after only a week. For a case this expensive, I expect it to look better for longer than a week.

FWIW, I work in an office and wash my hands regularly.
I had this problem too... case turned black. Apparently if you come in contact with certain kinds of oils or... ahem... lubes... often they will turn the leather black.

My red leather case for my iPhone 6+ looked weathered a year in, but I liked it that way. I went from 6+ to 6s for the smaller screen and better pocket-friendly size, and I'm just keeping it naked this time. If I change my mind, I'd definitely go red again.
 



An official (PRODUCT)RED version of Apple's leather case for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus has been spotted in at least one Apple retail store today, as reported by French tech site iGeneration [Google Translate]. When the new line of iPhones debuted in September, only the silicone case was offered in a (PRODUCT)RED option.

The (PRODUCT)RED leather case for the iPhone 6s hasn't appeared yet on Apple's online store, but will most likely soon follow if the company keeps slowly rolling out the case to its retail locations around the country. When it does, it'll no doubt come in at the same price of the other leather cases sold by Apple, costing $45 for the iPhone 6s version and $49 for the iPhone 6s Plus version.

A portion of sales from Apple's entire (PRODUCT)RED lineup goes to the Global Fund to help fund AIDS programs in Africa. Most recently, the company introduced (PRODUCT)RED accessories for the Apple Watch, debuting a new collection and band in the bright red color option during its September "Hey Siri" media event.

Update: The (PRODUCT)RED leather cases for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are now available to purchase on Apple's online store.
