Looks good! I have both the saddle brown and just picked up the Rose grey tonight Saddle brown is probably my favorite but the Rose grey is a close second!
Everyone's pictures here are awesome. While bored at work it was this thread that convinced me to buy the saddle brown!
This wallpaper with the Saddle Brown leather case looks like a million bucks.

Looks like you conditioned it ??or I'm wrong !! That's how my last one looked when I did that !!!
No conditioning at all. I think those stripes are inherent from the stretching of the leather very thinly over whatever the solid structure is inside. They happen to show up once oil from one's hand (or in your case, conditioning with oil) is absorbed into it and spreads in its own way.

Here is my Saddle Brown Apple Leather case after approx two months of everyday use. I actually like the wearing look.

Looks great Spencerdl! Love that broke in look...
Me too. Thanks. I didn't do anything special, just used it.
That's a great tag line Apple should start using ... "I just used it"... Lol
...it does sound like a "catchy" phrase. 
i love this case as well, but there's a problem which really pissed me off,
this case is very easy to scratches, put the phone on my car's phone cradle and it get scratches , put the phone near house keys it scratches, even your nail can scratches this case,
the sratches can be "wipe" away using your finger but if like me you frequently put the phone in car cradle, than this might be annoying.

I notice this as well! Last year I noticed I chipped my product red leather case from my car phone mount, and I'm very gentle with my leather cases. I find myself babying my leather cases! So I used them sparingly...
As long as the scratches can be rubbed away I don't see that being a problem.
it can be rub away if it's like 1 or 2 time
but everyday i mount it on my car holder so the same exact spot comes in contact with the car holder thus creating more " permanent" marks.

I really wish there was more drop info on this case, it looks great but I'm always afraid I'm going to damage something.
Five months old. Pretty happy wit it.

They both look good. I like the wear look that happens with the Saddle Brown Apple leather cases. KOOL
I had that issue when I ordered the midnight blue as well. Like it didn't fit the bottom properly! I had ordered it online and had it shipped but went to the Apple Store to exchange it. They were so nice there and proceeded to let me open three others to try. They all didn't fit! The rose grey fit. They then told me that certain colors may be manufactured differently and hence the probable reason it didn't work. So I walked out with the rose grey.

I'm right there with you. I found myself babying the case as much as the phone if I were to not use a case at all. I was so paranoid to stain or scratch it! Like you I put my phone in a certain place in my car while driving (The only place I can keep my phone out while driving) and after three times putting it there the case ended up with a pressure line. It happened to my first saddle brown case and at first I thought it was a defect in the case so I exchanged it. Then it happened again and it took me a second to pin point the culprit. My phone has its own pocket in my purse and in my satchel at work. So I was clueless for awhile!
Here's two pics: one of my saddle brown with the pressure line. The rose grey demonstrates how I kept it in the car. I still like these cases but I've moved on to speck candyshell. At the end of the day it's my favorite case of all time. I've had them for each of my iPhone's starting with the 4. And I don't have to baby it or worry about staining (not worried about the "aging" of the leather. It was more of a mishap occurring that'd leave a stain on it...even though I wash my hands a LOT I still have a six year old son)

Here is how my saddle brown leather case has fared after three months. Kind of sad that the apple logo is almost worn away because of how I hold my case (the apple is a finger rest spot)
