Yeah, same issue here. Space gray 6 Plus in a black leather case currently and I love it, but am really interested in the red silicone. Any thoughts?
Got a tip for us?

I'm leaning towards the silicone case at the moment. Haven't had any issues with lint on the "black" case and lint/fingerprints/smudges wipe off easily with a damp cloth. Besides the discoloration, the only other issue I've had with the leather case is that it still feels like it'll slip out of my hand. The silicone case pretty much takes care of that issue.
Yeah, it's not that bad and it's a great case if you don't mind the slight discoloration here and there.
The silicone picks up a lot of lint, which is very annoying. Never liked it for that reason.
Mine is holding up extremely well. I've had it since launch day and I also use my phone a lot... too much according to my wife. I'm not surprised as I had one on my 5s for a year and was very impressed with how it held up in terms of color (didn't lose any), feel (got even softer over time) and form (never lost shape or got loose).
One interesting thing about the 6 case I've found, and it may have been present with the 5/5s as well, is that they are not all created equally. Mine came from an Apple Store on launch day while a buddy got his from Best Buy on the same day. Mine was noticeably softer and more supple. His seemed a bit "rough" and overall just didn't have that "premium" feel. He returned it and got another which was more in line with how mine felt/feels.
I have had my case for just about a month now and I just noticed something that is slightly annoying.
When I put my case face down it wobbles. There is a gap from the case to the surface at the bottom left (same side as the camera).
Thinking my phone might be bent because I used it without a case for a while I took the case off and laid it face down. Nope, no bend in the phone.
I typically take the case off from that corner first and I'm guessing that the case bent over time there.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? If so, any solutions? I've tried bending it back but that seems to be only a temporary solution.

You can return the case for up to a year if it doesn't fit properly - comes under a manufacture defect. Maybe 'lie' a little and say it's always been like that
I think it should be made clear to many that these cases are painted. The leather underneath is of course leather, which is relatively dark in colour. Paint wares fast, there is no way around this. They also cannot make a bare leather case because the leather is so thin. It's colour would be uneven and aesthetically unpleasing.
They would have to make these cases significantly thicker to use naked leather, which would cost more and have people complaining about the added bulk.
The wear will happen, very fast if you have sweaty hands and tight pants.
I don't understand why they make the white case, there is no way it will ever look good once worn.
Be gentle and stick to dark colours.

Just got to opening christmas present from my wife and kids. My wife got me a Pebble steel and my kids got me a black leather apple case to match. Love my family =)
Just wondering, the power button seem a little stiff, does it loosen up over time? Love the look of the case, really do. It even smells like real leather.
Honestly, it fits nice, it feels nice..but i dont think its $50 nice. Seems they could have used a nicer leather, but the fit is really good.

In regards to everyone talking about the "pink" case: it is by no means "pink." It's a very very light tan/beige. Though by no means do I recommend it due to the poor quality, at least on the two units I've had.
