What product like this can you but that has sealant on it? I have a really nice wallet that does the same thing the Apple leather case does in jean pockets. I am not sure why you think it's Apple's job to put sealant on it.
Got a tip for us?

Nope you're wrong.
This happens to TPU and other cases.
The 6 S case is different from last year. It has a coating. And you're free to add more.
But you're being naive about blue jeans compared to other clothing materials.
The seats in my Mercedes have become blue stained from my wife's blue jeans. The blue dye just comes off easily.
It's a popular pants because it fades. People pay high money for faded blue jeans in fact. Faded jeans means the bluing has come off.

I'm reading through - and from what I've gathered, it's personal choice whether you waterproof and/or condition the leather? (Are those even two different things? lol)
I have an iPhone 6 black leather case headed my way - what would you guys do to it before using it? If nothing, cool - just curious.

You don't need to do anything. Whether you do or not, I still wouldn't let any leather sit on water or damp tables.
Maybe condition it after a few months, as needed, if the leather appears to be drying out. I'm guessing your skin oils will prevent a that.
Thank you, appreciate it.
I'll leave it for now and then touch it up as needed as you've suggested.
In a week it'll look different. In a good way. It won't be nearly as bright and orangey looking. It's going to look so nice.I love mine
Do you have a screen protector on ? Your screen looks flawless. Mine is always smudged up even when I clean it, but that's without a screen protector.
Just waiting for the patina to kick in.
So after two weeks with my Saddle leather case, it's time for it to be cleaned sometime this week. Would a damp cloth in water be ok ? I don't want to go out and buy leather care products. Also I'll be joining the superior Space Grey club soon. I ordered a 64GB Space Grey because the 16GB is an embarrassment, a joke. In person the Space Grey looks the best. It's amazing.
You will ruin your case if you use a damp cloth. Water and leather do not mix at all. If you are going to clean it, you better go with a leather cleaner.
Bought a leather case ....
I debated between the Rose Gray, replace or not?
still sealed in the box

For sure the saddle brown. The rose grey really only works with the rose gold iPhone.
Ok well I think Apple's thought was that the rose grey would go with the rose gold phone. I believe that is the color they show in the pictures on Apple.com. It may work with the space grey, but I think it looks best with the rose gold. Maybe that is just me.
Not yet, waiting for the IceMax 3D. On the pic there's a scratch under the screen that isn't visible on the picture. And it must have occured in my jeans pocket or something.. Only visible under light though.
I think it's doesn't noticeable that much, the apple cases cover the back so you can see only the color in the bottom and little from the camera.
wonder if the gray leather ages ok or discoloured and dirty on the corners(like the lighter color of the previous leather cases - Soft pink/red)

I love the combo of saddle brown with white phone or maybe the gray will looks better ?
I am thinking the grey case is going to look more like the red and lighter colors from last year. Not sure about that, but that would be my guess.
As for the saddle brown case, I think it looks amazing with the white iPhones. Well expect the rose gold. It looks amazing with the gold iPhone. I also don't think it looks bad with the space grey either.
not sure what the rose grey will come out looking like, but it is getting dirty after only a day or 2, but ill rock it this whole week and report back on how it wears. I love all of the leather cases I have from apple so far, my favorite is saddle and midnight blue, i havent put the black on, and i did like the rose grey, but if it gets super dirrty, I'll clean it and let my wife have it for when she gets her white iphone.
