Hello everyone! I need a little bit of help. My current rotation is Forest Green & Saddle Brown. I’ve been thinking about adding new color to the rotation. I’m stuck between the black leather case and Product Red.What do you guys think I should go with?

I had the product red leather case, didn’t like how dirty it got so I have the same in silicone now. Each to their own I guess, admittedly it is a nice case but it just gets dirty quick
 
Blacked out leather is my favorite IMO.
Yea it’s always been one my favorites too since the iPhone 5s, Forest Green is still probably my favorite for this years iPhone especially if you have the Midnight Green model then I would say Saddle Brown.
 
That’s my go to for now. The grip and feel of the case has the best texture compared to the other apple leather cases I own. It’s simple yet sleek.
I normally would go for the Product Red, but man imo it just looks awful with Midnight Green. None the less my daily driver remains the saddle brown, but mainly because I don’t care for it. It can get banged up all day as ling as it keeps protecting my phone. After all it just keeps looking better over time 😏

I think I’m gonna start fresh with a new saddle brown case once I find one on sale. Mine is jacked up and isn’t really taking on new character ever since I sanded it and used leather balm.

Edit: It’s $37.99 at Best Buy now. Down from $49.99. Good deal or no?

Edit: #2 I’ll continue to use my jacked up saddle brown case in the meantime.

Good point. That black leather on Space Gray 5s was just so pretty! The 11 Pro SG with black leather case kinda reminds me of if.

I guess it just depends how long you plan on keeping your phone

Here is another update how much it it’s been aging these last few weeks, if you like saddle brown you should buy it again

I think I may hold off for a while longer. Maybe until the iPhone 12 is released or until we have more concrete renderings. If Apple makes a saddle brown case for the 5.4” model then I’ll sell/trade in my 11 pro. If not, I planned on holding onto my 11 pro for at least a couple of years. If you’ve seen pics of my artificially patina saddle brown case; it doesn’t look all that bad. It surely does not have the natural golden brown age look to it like your case. ❤️

why don’t ya buy it from Verizon’s website? They got it for $25
 
When I get hold of my 12, space gray or black I’m going to buy a black leather and a saddle brown case and then stop! I buy far too many cases.

Thank you for the input

I actually just placed an order from VZ for the same case. It was 50% off and couldn't turn it down. Not to mention, I needed something different than the Forest Green I have been using since launch. Can't go wrong with this color though as it goes well with any color IPhone.
