Apple Silicone Case

Does anyone else feel like the material is rubbing off on their fingers when handling the new case. I've only had it for a day but it already feels more rubbery since yesterday and my fingers feel sticky after.
They are definitely more grippy than the sport band. I wish they were more like the sport bands because it's hard to get in and out of my pocket.
I just got my red one and it's a little different than the red sport band. The red of the case is even brighter than the sport band. Materials feel different too. I wish the cases were the same as the bands.
Picked up a Midnight Blue silicone case today for my SG 6S+ and I really like how it feels in the hands. Not too grippy but not too smooth like the leather case is out of the box. Might wind up being my go to case.
Yeah it still is hard to get in and out of a pocket. I also feel like part of it may be rubbing off on my fingers but maybe I'm just crazy.
Just bought the white for my 6s plus gold and these are my thoughts exactly
I've got a Nodus leather shell case on preorder so it didn't make sense to get the apple leather one
Having tried both the leather and silicone (the new versions) -- the silicone is the winner for me personally this time around. Much nicer feel in the hand and doesn't attract lint and wear as badly as the previous generation. On top of that the leather doesn't fit well for me.
No. It still picks up lint. Doesn't seem to be quite as bad as last year's case but it's still there. Not too noticeable on my midnight blue, though.
Alas! Alas! The White iPhone 6s Silicone Case I received STILL PICKS UP LINT! I was wearing a shorts over the weekend and didn't get one lint stray on my immaculate case and was amazed.
BUT.
After a short car ride with my phone in my blue jeans, I pulled the sucker out and lo and behold, lint, lint - LINT EVERYWHERE! Alas, as other have said, the lint absorption is not as bad as last year's model but still noticeable for me.
Alas! Alas! This case will go back. Was I an ass, an ass...

wondering to buy the new white silicone, or saddle leather
I had the white silicone of iphone 6 I love the combo, but its like a magnet of lint(!) and fur of my dog, therefore, I didn't put this on my phone anymore....
the leather is better?
It'll depend on what you're looking for. In terms of lint, the leather cases will not attract any. But in say my case, where I'm looking for grip, which the silicone does have, the Leather may only be "grippy" until after you wear it in, though it's a bit slick on the onset.
Thinking of a Tech21 Evo Sport Mesh myself now...
I just bought the Midnight Blue Silicone case for my 6S. I had the Midnight Blue Leather case for my 6 and by now it just looks Black. Yuck. Hopefully the Silicon case color won't do the same over a years time.
Is there anyway to remove the stickiness of this case. I like the look of it but it's damn near impossible to get in and out of my pockets. It's also a lint magnet.
I agree, time will tell. Mine from last year lost that finish and looks almost glossy in comparison when placed side by side.
Turquoise. This is the iPhone 6 by the way. Not the 6s.

I stopped using mine when that was happening where I placed my fingers on the case.
