Exact same reason I'm returning my midnight blue one. It's too dark, most of the time it just looks black. I think the brown one is a better match.
Got a tip for us?

Why non-Apple iPhone 6(+) leather case posters cluttering this thread? Just repeating what they already posted in other case threads. 
J/k With that said more iP6(+) with the Apple leather case pics and reviews, please.
I have an Apple white silicon for gold iP6+. Oops, I did it too. But am thinking of getting a back-up or alternates ...
Olive brown leather case ... Utterly stunning, all-white looks with the white silicon case.

Wow, yea it is. Doesnt necessarily look bad and may actually wear nicely as a dark case but thats quick.
I like the brown one above too!
Tough call here for my space grey.
I noticed the inside of the leather case is not lined with the microfiber on the sides, is this true? Does it detract from the case at all? Would this cause any kind of scratching at all?
The silicon case has microfiber all throughout the inside, even on the sides, I believe.

Heheh, I'll be doing the same thing when it comes tomorrow. Pictures of the box, phone in the box with protective film on it. Documenting the "unboxing" basically.

6 Plus will arrive tomorrow so now today I do have to get a case for it..If it been answered, I apologize.
My main question is how is the grip on the leather case, if any have experience on the silicone case, how it that..any better?
I saw one from the ATT store..some brand I think it was called Pelican, but $60? Looked too bulky anyway. Another cheap looking - and feeling piece of junk from one of those mall kiosks, $40 bucks. I really haven't seen anything available - or all that impressive in stores yet for the 6 Plus. Most will appear sometime in the next few weeks.
Already have one from Amazon that shipped Friday, but it won't be here until Oct. 8. No idea where the heck that's coming from.
Torn between blue and brown for my space grey. Always like blue leather combo (had a blue leather back in my 5s) but imagine the brown would wear in and patina a lot nicer.
Go blue. I got the brown and I did not think it would be this dark. I am going to trade it in for blue (unless somebody here would like to trade with me!)
I sort of like a darkened brown. But do you think it's so dark a patina won't be very visible
It should show patina, its more of a chocolate than what I thought it was. I was looking for more of a saddle color.
I see, I'd also prefer a lighter saddle color that would darken due to patina. But if it's already chocolate maybe not the look I'm going for. Guess I'll have to check it out in person.
I had for a couple hours only . The leather case felt grippy and really good in the hand. I decided to return my case to just get apple case and rock my phone naked . It's been dropped twice in the house already , but no damage what's so ever . But I think should reconsider my decision #
Thanks! I did end up getting the black leather Plus case at the Apple Store. It did feel good in the hand..Although the silicone felt slight "stickier" little more grip. I asked the rep standing next to me if I can put it in my jeans pocket just to test. Not wearing tight jeans, the pockets are loose..and it was a slight effort to get in in there. (I may ditch the pocket thing though after seeing some bent phones) Also good to see Zagg HD screen protectors are available too, those are a personal favorite.
But I hear ya. I had to have something to cover it. When I held the phone for the 1st time on Friday..it did slip in my hand a few times. Again on Saturday...and yet again 30 minutes ago (lol) At first on Friday I thought "Jesus, did I order the right phone." - But after leaving today..10,15 minutes of playing with it, I love it. I don't regret it, can't wait until it shows up tomorrow!
Thanks for the reply again, I appreciate it! Enjoy your phone.
My only problem with buying from bestbuy is that it doesn't release until 10/5 for some reason. I want it now, but also want to use RZ certificates so I'm still deciding what to do.
