Ugh after seeing the pictures of the saddle brown I really wish I got that instead of just the brown unfortunately
As I see only the new expansive Cinder case will work with the Apple leather case ?
Is anybody's case getting less slippery? There is another thread going about this as well, but it seems like these leather cases are much more slippery then the material previously used for last year's release of the leather case. Hoping this changes after it breaks in, but I don't remember my midnight blue ever feeling this slippery.
I just put mine on last night as I ordered it but may be going naked some days of the week and man is it slippery!
I know its a different material than last year but it honestly is more slippery than the phone being naked with the new grippier aluminum. I hope it breaks in better but I am shocked how slippery it is as I had a midnight blue leather for my 6+ all last year and it was so grippy and perfect.
Time will tell.

Out of curiosity, why get the pink just to completely cover it up?
i agree but you also get nice details of it within the camera hole as well as the open lip on the bottom.
I go space gray only for the black front but love the gold version in some of these cases, especially the midnight blue. I use a case probably 2-3 times a week and naked the rest of the time.
The new phones are much more grippy and love the feel of a completely naked device with that edge glass and cool back.
I went naked last year and dropped my 6 clumsily within 2 weeks so I need a case
I'm a case addict and this is only the first of many ill buy. I've got the spigen clear airskin on the way which will show off the pink nicely once it arrives later today
And yes it gets grippier as you use it. I've also sprayed some kiwi waterproof propellant which makes it even less slippery
Cool. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your phone.I went naked last year and dropped my 6 clumsily within 2 weeks so I need a case

No one is using a glass screen protector with the apple leather case? i want to order one but i don't know which edge to edge screen protector will work with this case..... i had on my iPhone 6 the bodyguard crown one but it didn't work with the leather case so this is why i'm asking...
thanks in advanced
You have 30 days to return it if you bought it on Apple.com. They will email you a pre-paid shipping label. They are really fast with returns. Just go to your order page for the case and click return item. If you bought it at an Apple Store, you have to return it there. I'm pretty sure their ruturn period is two weeks.
The saddle brown is my favorite one.
2 weeks of usage. I installed a cheap $.99 for 2 pack glass protector I got on amazon (now $8) and really like it over the plastic screen protectors. good looking combo now.

You're welcome. I got one of those small padded envelopes for less than a dollar at Target to return a case to Apple last last year.
I agree, the saddle brown is so nice. I'm using it on my Rose Gold iPhone now.
This is the new one? I'm liking the look of it more than I thought I would.2 weeks of usage. I installed a cheap $.99 for 2 pack glass protector I got on amazon (now $8) and really like it over the plastic screen protectors. good looking combo now.

I'm amazed how you got the back of the case so worn after 2 weeks, so far mostly the sides of mine are brown the back is still too fresh haha. Maybe I need to hold it differently!
8 days of use and I can honestly say this is a legit win.
Grip - check
Soft buttons - check
Patina - check
Fit - check
I'm sure lots of people returned this case like many other 6s leather variants within the first few days- but that's a huge mistake as leather products always take time to break in.
Here are my pics.
