Had a red that did start showing signs of wear - plus I decided red wasn't my color.

Went with the black (this is my work cell phone) and I love it. Adds protection without adding bulk. And wear/tear doesn't show on the black one.
 
In black, it's a nice case and has a good feel. But not much bang for the buck and a little too thick for my tastes (although I like ultra thins). This is $40 vs the <$20 I just paid for the Caudabe Veil a few days ago. Granted, they're two different types of cases, but I just can't justify paying $40 for a simple case.
 
Will the apple leather case allow for a screen cover? What about the Restoration hardware case? What is the best type of screen cover to use?
 
I have the blue case for months and its holding up very well.
I normally don't like cases but i do like this one.
 
I have the black, tan and red. I like the option to change whenever I like.

The black one looks exactly the same as it did when I bought it, no marks or change of colour.
The tan is starting to age nicely and I'm liking the worn in look. This one is definitely my favourite.
The red looks good still but I did actually spray that one with a leather protector.

I also have the spigen Glas screen protector applied which fits well with this case.
 
Based on my poor impression of the iPad Air leather case I was certain I'd dislike this equally.

On the contrary, it's the best iPhone case I've owned. Very light, tightly fitted, no leather aberrations (streaks, cuts, discolouration), and comfortable. In fact, it starts off feeling like a cheap PU case but after a few days the leather becomes softer.

Only complaint is the build of lint/debris from pockets gets stuck in between inner edge and phone. Wouldn't be a big deal if the case wasn't so tightly fitted and difficult to remove for cleaning.

The Apple case definitely allows for the use of screen protector. The edge of the case doesn't even fully cover the edges so there is plenty of room for a screen protector (in fact, unlike other cases, I was able to apply the protector with the case on).
 
Just switched from magpul to a black leather apple one and it just feels so much lighter and sleeker. I love it.
