About a month of normal day to day use of Forest Green
Yeah, I just realized that I only miss the yellow and the red, to have a complete Apple leather case collection for my Pro Max.. Now, with all these beautiful cases, it’s hard to find a «daily driver»
About 2 weeks in. Super happy with how it’s coming along.
Today will mark week #1 with my new saddle brown case for my 11 pro. So far, nothing as far as patina goes. But, I’m not trying to speed up the aging process so let’s see how week two goes. Wish me luck, I’ve been soooo close to ordering a mous 2.0 or a rhinoshield solid suit the past couple of days. When I get to the checkout screen I try and let the cases sit there for an hour or two and do something to keep my mind off of ordering. That seems to do the trick for me.
I was set on getting the midnight green 11 PM with a forest green case but a seeing this and a few other posts, the Space Grey and midnight blue looks fantastic
If anyone has concerns about the slickness of the leather case, the feeling will be gone in a few days.
Man, the yellow looks fresh. I want to go pick one up right now. Telling myself to hold off for a few more weeks. I’m afraid of it turning black.
Liking the midnight blue in the meantime.
I gave in and bought the yellow leather case today... I have been holding off some time because I was afraid it would get stained easily, as I mainly wear jeans. But, I just couldn’t resist any longer. I think I will need some time to get used to the bright border around the dark screen. And only time will tell how it holds up.. I hope it won’t get discoloured.. now, I only miss the red one to have a complete Apple leather case collection.. 
I'm a phone/jeans girl. That yellow is going to look funky in 2 weeks. I wish it weren't true because that yellow is AMAZING this yearI gave in and bought the yellow leather case today...

Saddle brown about one month in. So far I’m very happy except for the very dark spots on the back.
One month old Forest Green, still looking new. I also swapped my Series 4 band with last years Pacific Green, definitely compliments the Midnight Green perfectly.
My pics were taken exactly 3 weeks in. I noticed today that it is starting to feel really nice and supple. Looks the same.
Yeah, at some point it might look whack, but I'm enjoying it a lot for now, and I think that's what it's about. Everything is fleeting.

Could you compare leather quality on those cases, seems like leather on green one have different texture.I gave in and bought the yellow leather case today...

I have the Forrest green and the back. The Forrest green seems better quality of leather. I had the same last year and again the green was better quality.
Bought the left in March this year and it wore in a way that I didn't really like, I think the issue is that I took this case to work. Being that I'm outside all day and sweating it darkened kinda quickly. It also doesn't help that I actively tried to get a patina by rubbing various things with little success(Cause im impatient)
Just bought a new one to see how I could make it wear in nicely.

I had the forest green (sold it) and still have the saddle brown. I wouldn't say either is better quality, just different. The forest green has more of a textured feel and appearance, the other colors are smoother, more finished leather. Both have held up very well, the green just generally darkened over all while the saddle has more varied coloration.
My saddle brown matches my bagpack and wallet 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Ready for the second leather case
Just got this case today with my new 11 Pro Max. I'm kinda nervous about it being my daily case because I've seen it turn out very badly color wise.
