Leather or Silicone Official Apple case?

[Boardiesboi]

Is the camera and the lens fit perfectly? Mine has a space

Mine is also off centre and is flush against the lower right hand corner. There are 1mm gaps all the way around the other edges...

So I wonder every for us different? My top camera fits perfect the bottom has a gap.

A few manufacturing inconsistencies then. I initially thought the entire cutout will be flush with the camera with no gaps at all.

I guess they need to account for manufacturing tolerances?

leather case is good for phones

What about for pets?

I'm still indecisive, but I like the grip of silicone

To me both have there flaws but since I need to protect my phone, why not buy the overpriced options from apple. Silicone is what I chose this time.

its been a few years since this poll was happening I'd be curious if peoples preferences have changed over time / boredom

Still prefer the leather. My wife’s still stuck on the silicone. Stuck in our ways

I only like the brown leather case until it changes its color like 3 days later. After that it just looks dirty.

Yet I bought it for both my iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone XS Max. Do not even know what I expected to change lol

Is the quality the same for leather cases ? Mine on iPhone 7 was way too fragile for the price. I could be interested to try again leather case only if the quality has improved significantly.

I can only speak from my experience but it does seem fragile. I had the case for my iPhone XS Max for one month and the volume down button (of the case) ended up being half way stuck. Dont really know how to explain it

Thanks for the feedback, I will give a try for a good third-party case then

Silicone for me. I like the feel of the leather case better however I know I wouldn’t like the color inconsistencies and scratches once it starts to wear.

scratches less Visible and discoloration much less if at all noticeable with black leather tho

I'd still go for the leather case...nothing against the silicone one cause I have many of those but if you are already buying an original case, better to pay for leather

looks like there is a closed bottom on the new 12 cases per their event. woohoo

 

[Seth Matthews]

Also looks like the leather cases are no more...only silicone showing for iPhone 12 and above...

wow.

The end of an era of Apple accessories.

The leather wallet $59 pouch aint gonna cut it

also a $10 premium for silicone - now $49

--

the clear case with MagSafe looks awkward and prototype-y too. Cant imagine that not scratching like hell quickly

sadly, I am out on apple cases this year.

No offical leather case is really disappointing. I’ve used them for every single iPhone I’ve had.

 

[mrcel]

They presented a leather case at 37:28 in their presentation, the leather pouch also isn‘t available on their website yet.

 

[K4VKS]

Leather. I love seeing the gradual patina.

 

[zokstar]

Ive had the hard clear plastic cover for the last year, but i think i'll go back to Leather for the next phone.

 

[caelius]

Silicone for me as it can get wet. The clear case is nice, too.

 

[ohitsanazn]

I felt like the leather dried out my hands when I had one on my XS Max.

I also don't like how the silicone attracts lint and dust.

I'd consider their clear case (if it truly doesn't yellow over time) but I think the MagSafe outline looks stupid.
