Just got my Apple Leather Case

Apple would let me exchange items that I didn't buy from them? That doesn't sound right to me.
I can't believe how flaky I got over this issue. I went to the Apple store. I looked at both cases of leather and silicone. I went with a black leather for my I6, what a gut wrenching experience. Its just weird of me to be this way, now I hope I can sleep tonight. Feeling buyers remorse, don't worry my friends in the end I'll keep the case.
Any suggestions of a leather conditioning cream?
My favorite leather conditioner is Apple Care - no relation to the iPhone Apple company. But as for leather it is a cleaner/conditioner and leaves the leather just feeling soft not slippery or sticky. It also doesn't have a strong smell to it. You can purchase it on Amazon.
I have apple leather case in red and blue. I have applied the leather conditioner on both. For some weird reason red appears to be softer and lighter and midnight blue to be heavier and stickier.
lol same combo in this house. Wife hasn't received hers just yet so i can't confirm the leathness of the blue.
Yup, the red one actually feels the least as leather, Ive tried blue, black, tan and olive, they all have a better feeling to them for some reason. Maybe, just maybe, they changed the red one in order not to discolor as quick as the 5-version? A little like Samsungs white vs black versions?
I also agree. I have the blue and the red did not feel the same. Like had a coat of stain on it.
I second that, it's a great product! I have used several different brands over the years on various leather goods and Apple leather lotion is probably my favorite. Does a nice job.
Just wanted to say that I exchanged my Apple Silicone case for a Leather Case yesterday and couldn't be happier.
The black leather case on my Space Gray 6 + is PERFECT!
I have 2 other cases that probably wont get much use (Spigen Neo Hybrid and Spigen Thin Case).
I might have to pickup an Otterbox for when I do 'play hard' (labor, hunt, 4wheeler, camping, etc.) but for day to day use, this leather is awesome!

It dose look good as long you keep it new...but it will tarnish bad in a month or so.
No, zero scratches. I even fumble around putting the lighting cable in from time to time and still no scratches.
I keep my phone in my pockets where the exposed section just doesn't have any real direct contact with anything that would scratch it.
man i have like 6 cases but i am really tempted to buy this leather case.. maybe apple will ahve black friday sale on these.. looks so sexy but damn its steep!
I got one. Small mm long scratch next to the headphone port. Sucks but oh well probably would have happened sooner or later
The price is up there but they really are nice cases. I have the black leather one on my iPhone 5.
My pink case is ugly as hell. The corners are all beat to crap. The edges around the front of the phone are all discolored. I don't abuse my phone, I don't work in construction. I'm disappointed big time.
I got the case the second week of owning the 6 Plus and I got the 6 Plus on release day.
Wow. I had it for a week (same colour) and noticed it was peeling a bit near the bottom. I returned it, good thing I did.

Some might say though, it's the physical properties of leather, patina, age,...etc so on and so on
Yikes - those photos are awful.
I have the Apple silicone in white and have had it since 2 weeks after the original release day and it still looks like new. Others have complained that their cases have ripped at the corners but mine has been fine and I've had it off and on many times.
