Just got my Apple Leather Case

I've had my current black Apple leather case on my iPhone 6 since the week after the September release...since the first one bubbled up and the leather separated from the case shell...and it looks perfect. I'm as impressed with it as I was the one I had on my iPhone 5 & 5s.
Only case I'll use.

Judging by the pictures of your filthy/destroyed desk, Im not really surprised at the condition of that case...

It's not actually filthy the mousepad has glue remnants from crafting and I haven't gotten around to buying another one and the desk is just old. It's a cheap L shape desk from Office Depot about 10+ years old. I guess I'll make sure to take photos in a photo studio to make sure I'm not misjudged.
Well, if it helps, your username is awesome! # I was thinking of going with a lighter case but after seeing what happened to yours, midnight blue for me.
Don't give it a second thought. There's always one in the crowd that shoots their mouth off inappropriately with no respect for others and then they are judged for what kind of person they they are. That comment to you didn't deserve a response.
Thank you!

Ha thanks. I think I might end up getting a black one too.

I've had the black one on my phone for almost 2 months carrying it around in my pocket and it still looks the same as it did when I got it.
Mine is slowly becoming my go-to case over the other two (i-Blason Kickstand & Spigen Air Skin) that I have.
After having a black, midnight blue and a red leather cases; now I am settled with a red apple case and a blue shumuri case and a grey caudabe viel thin case. Loving the journey of trying multiple cases and settling with the right ones.
Got the black silicone case on saturday, but I'm afraid it might look a bit cheap on the phone (should arrive within the upcoming week). So I'm thinking about returning it for the leather version. I don't really care about the price, but more about the scratch resistance.
My question: Does your leather case already show any marks or scratches? Any experience in comparison with the silicone version would be even better!

I can't speak for the leather case as I don't have one. But I do have the white silicone case and have had it for almost 2 months. I was concerned that it would pick up stains and look crappy in no time - but just the opposite- still looks like new. No staining, no scratches and no rips or tears for me either.
I have a red Apple leather case ordered. Still looking for the (almost) perfect case after using a Tech 21 (too slick and makes the iPhone 6 feel bigger than it is), a Supcase from Amazon (fell apart), an Apple Silicone case (really liked it except it attracted dust and lint like crazy- returned it after one day of wiping and cleaning).
Have both the black leather and silicone. The black I've had since first week of November and is holding up well. Just got the silicone which is more of a dark gray. It's nice and I like how it feels, but the leather does look nicer with the space gray edition simply because of the black on black look. It's more elegant. Both are good for me so far though.
...man - some people must really abuse their cases!!!
My 'midnight blue' leather case does not have a single mark on it - anywhere, and I have had mine since the iPhone 6 came out! NO wear and tear on my case whatsoever.
This is the first Apple case I am actually using! (Black leather on iPhone 6 Plus). All I wish is that it was easier to find the sleep button on the side. My goal is to be able to push the sleep button without reducing the volume!
.....ah yea - that is a skill on a whole new level as I also find myself hitting the volume buttons at the same time!!!
So I bought one of these leather cases today while at a retailer. I hadn't really looked into them much as I have other leather cases, but I liked the look of the one they had in stock.
I'm a little colorblind, and didn't realize the color was 'light pink" as it looked like a cream or off-white to me. I'm not opposed to rocking pink items, but I prefer it to be a pink I can actually tell is pink.
It was the last one they had in stock in any color so I can't exchange in same store.
Obviously I can go return it and get my money back, but I've noticed a lot of people on here mentioning they swapped their cases. Do Apple Stores allow exchanges if the case was bought elsewhere? I've got a warranty issue and need to go get my old 5S replaced, so figured I'd see about swapping out the case while there.

Swapped Lime Green Silicone for Olive Brown Leather Case
Please tell about those port plugs on the bottom of your phone. Accessories?
Some thing from Apple?
To those of you who have used leather protector on your case; should I wait a few days before protecting the case to break it a bit, or spray right away? I have the midnight blue, and while I don't care about a bit of wear and tear, if really like to protect against some of the more unsightly damage that I've seen in some of the pics.
