I'm curious to see if the new Red one ages better than the one from last year. Anyone bought it yet?
Mine were very hard to press as well but have gotten a bit brtter. I followed advice on the thread about using the end of a teaspoon and your finger on the other side, pressing the buttons back and forth to break it in.I bought my Saddle Brown case about a week and a half ago and I have a question for those who own it...
First of all, this case was extremely hard to squeeze in... as in I had to strongly push in my iPhone and was afraid of something happening to it. After trying to break it in and putting it on and off, it finally slides in fine... BUT the volume buttons are very hard to push? Also, I notice towards the bottom right that my rose gray iPhone's side is exposed. As in, it can be seen from and it isn't that way on the left. I tried my husband's black cover and his was perfect. The volume buttons were easy to press and the side of my rose grey iPhone was not exposed on the bottom right. I have seen it on some pics on here, but most with a white face don't show that angle, funny enough. Is this normal?
So how far or how forcefully do I need to push with the end of the teaspoon? I am pushing inside the case, right?
I tried that but eventually that side is exposed... Maybe because I put it on and off too much?
I've tried that but I still somewhat see it. Maybe it starts somewhat slipping through as the day goes by? It just seems weird that it doesn't happen with my husband's black case or my old 6+ leather case. Actually, try this - if you touch that bottom right part and compare it to the left, does it somewhat feel a little more indented and less pushed out like the other corners?

Can you post a link to the eBay listing ?Just get one from eBay for $4.5. Feels great, the lip above the screen is smaller than original, which makes a difference when you swipe-to-go-back.
Got mine yesterday
the ebay one feels a lot more like the first gen (product red) leather cases. they felt nothing like the 2nd gen (saddle brown). they were OK but didn't like the vibrate cutout.
It's been a full week and no black corners just yet, just a tad dark red on both bottom edges and up the sides a bit. I'll post some pictures in a few days when it shows more wear.How's your red leather case holding up? Any black edges or corners yet?
it will be easier and quicker if you break it in yourself. I did both of my cases, the saddle brown and red simply by using the butt end of a letter opener (the butt end of a kitchen utensil will work just as well) and pressing the button. using my finger to push it back out from inside the case and repeat a few times. you'll be surprised how much the buttons open up just by doing that. try it.
Just got the saddle brown today to match my classic buckle. Classy stuff. Pairs with my daswise nicely!

This exactly.I personally think last years leather case fits and feels better. glad I kept the 6plus black leather case from last year. Not a fan of the saddle after a months use.
