Got the black Apple case for the X. Very slippery

Anything that can be used on the leather to make it grippier?

How does that taste? I’m in the market for some new syrup

Regular use of leather should break it in pretty quickly. A leather conditioner or wax can also speed that up. Another trick would be ground up coffee with a minimal amount of water to help break it in.

Essentially, whatever tricks work to break in leather.

Counterintuitively, a light coat of Kiwi shoe polish on that black case will act to make it a bit more grippy in-hand. I think it's because the wax in the polish overcoats the lanolin-rich fresh leather.

Or just wipe the case gently with a damp cloth- this will make the leather a lot more grippy.

Won’t the shoe polish stain your hands and/or clothing?
