Does anyone have a picture of the taupe color patina? I’m not sure how new this color is.

Thank you
 
it will probably be another couple of weeks before it starts to show it's real wear.
 
I’ve had it now since X’s launch and so far it feels more durable than the saddle brown I had. Definitely my favorite now on space gray X.

I’ll post some pictures tomorrow. I bought it a few days after release of the 8+.
 
Looking to purchase one for my iPhone 7. Some pictures of the color would be great add to the forum. Also, is this a new color (with softer leather or something)?
 
Here’s a pic of the one I had on my 7+. It’s tan but very similar to the taupe. I’ll be getting a taupe one for my X and hope it patinas in a similar fashion. I speed up the patina using coconut oil and coffee grinds.

Sorry for the delay! As you can see, the patina is developing around the edges first and making its way around the case. Love love love this color!
