iPhone X Saddle brown. Had it since launch day and I’ve used it intermittently. Maybe 60-70% of the time.
Saved the phone from shattering twice. You can see the dents and cuts in the four corners.
Now to get another one for the iPhone XS+ and start this process all over again!

I'm thinking about getting the black leather case for the Xs Max. Does anyone have any photos of an aged black leather case?
I've used red and grey 6s Plus leather cases, and the red one just got dirty, no patina. My grey case still looks like when I bought it, only the sides are smoother now.
I want a case for the Xs Max that won't just seem 'dirty', hence I'm leaning towards black.

Your best bet for colours that don't seem dirty are definitely the dark colours. Midnight blue will patina and approach the colour black as it ages, while black just stays black.

I always liked the darker colors. Love the cape cod blue but that will probably get pretty grody. It's a bummer that they don't have the gray anymore.
Is the new leather case from Apple any different from the previous? I just bought one for the upcoming XS. Will need to return it if its not compatible.
I always but the apple leather cases. They are expensive, but allow me to keep a slimmer profile on my phone. They age well and have always been very durable. No complaints.

I’m ordering the forest green when preorder opens in a few hours time.
Almost as exited to get it as the iPhone Xs max

Hi guys, I just preordered my first iPhone and was looking forward to buying a leather case too. I looked through the whole thread and they look amazing. I just have a simple question. I choose the silver color and saw that last year silver iPhones can really scratch a lot on that stainless steel band. Do any of you have had the leather case with a silver iPhone and managed to not scratch that band too badly? I'm usually really careful with expensive things, but I'm not sure if I should go for the leather case or a case that is closed completely.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks for your answers 🙂

I have silver iPhone and 2 leather cases which I change regularly, silver band show very tiny little scratch where phone is exposed on bottom but nothing major.
Also on silver it is very easy to use polish stainless steel band.
But nearly 1 year and phone still looks brand new, not an issue.
Tip: when putting in jeans pocket put upside down will help you less scratch if you are worried that much!

finally had a chance to take my phone outside and get a couple of pictures of how disgusting the pink fuschia is after a year (actually 10 months since we didn't get the X's until Nov)

It’s really interesting how different people see things. Imo that red looks really cool, I love the darker areas and overall look. Definitely far from disgusting imo.
