I’m wasting space? And you’re not with your useless replies? Way to turn the tables all the time.
wow those case looks cool and nice. unfortunely.. no protection
It protects everything except the very bottom but it’s enough for me. I’ve never had the bottom damaged in these cases. I’ll take the form and looks of this over a gigantic brick case that can withstand falls from 50 feet.
I’ve dropped my phones in leather cases many times over the years and never had one break.
There is enough protection for usage on a daily basis.wow those case looks cool and nice. unfortunely.. no protection
I can second this. My leather case has taken a beating and it shows. The phone has always come out unscathed though.
My iPhone X fell out as I was getting out of an uber and cracked exactly where the bottom of the phone is exposed. Drop it plenty times before without damage, so I guess the leather case does protect, but there is always that 1/1000 chance it will fall just right to damage it.
Same thing happened to me with my 6S. Fell off the bed in the leather case and the exposed part of my phone landed on something (I believe it was the end of a charger cord) and pushed the headphone jack in on itself. Luckily I was able to bend it back out, but there was no listening to music for a few days!
IMO the leather cases are great for people who don’t drop their phones very often. I have the occasional slip from the couch to the floor and my leather cases for my 7+ have never failed to protect the phone.
That blue is just gorgeous. I owned one for about 2 minutes before deciding to go with the white silicone case (which I ended up returning after realizing how much better I like the leather). Can't wait to see how it ages.
I drop my phone A LOT lately, which is strange since before the X I could probably count on both hands how many times I've had significant drops over the years with previous phones. My leather case (as seen below) shows the wear but I like it. Adds character/personality.
My midnight blue after 8 months and 3 weeks. Hard to get it in a light that doesn't make it look black.
Am I the only one who has mixed feelings about getting the 6.5” OLED next month because the patina process starts from scratch?

haha I’m so torn too! I also have an embarrassing amount of these cases and I’d have to start all over

My feeling is that my X will continue to work and look awesome in it's patina'd midnight blue case long after the new model is released.Am I the only one who has mixed feelings about getting the 6.5” OLED next month because the patina process starts from scratch?
Funny you say that - I was thinking I would upgrade in september but the iOS 12 beta has made my 7+ feel a year newer! Might ride with saddle brown for little while
Here is my red leather case after a few weeks. Not much of a change since I bought it.

Indeed. Mine will do the same in Saddle Brown for the wife as I start the process anew with the 6.5”.
The light was right to catch some color today. Midnight blue coming up on nine months.

Awesome? Looks mouldy
Happy I saw this. I was just about to post how other's Electric Blue is holding up as mine is turning black in some spots and looks really dirty. Not a fan of how it's aging. I just used some Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner, but not looking much better.
