What color are you grabbing of silicone or leather Apple case for X?

I started out with the olive silicone when I picked up my phone and I would say it’s my favourite out of the current crop of colours. Last time I had the cocoa and I think these dark but not black colours hold up the best.

I did just get the orange after seeing some videos and checking it out in store and it’s pretty good for a brighter colour. After using it for a while I am not sure it will wear well though.

Some daylight photos of your olive silicone case pls pls?
 
I got the Spicy Orange case for my X and then decided to get the Purple one. My husband liked the Orange so he took it. Last week, someone commented it looked pink. Any other guys have this case?! Anyone ever say it’s pink?!!

I had the spicy orange...didn't think it was pink and no one ever thought it was...everyone said it was orange.
 
I have white but it is turning yellow, so scratch that color off your list. It’s 2 mos old FYI.

Oh No!!! That's pretty bad!

Did you get it at an apple store?? If it's only 2 months old & it's showing those sort of signs of discoloration, they could (& should) definitely replace it.

Through the app. Yeah I’ll be contacting Apple.

I see the Flash silicone case is now “currently unavailable” on apple.com. Could we be getting new colors for the spring?
 
I tend to buy between 5 and 10 different cases, from various manufacturers, for each iPhone form-factor. The Apple Leather ones are the ones I always end up using the most.

For previous iPhones, I’ve had Black, Grey, Dark Blue and Saddle Brown. For my X I bought Grey and Saddle Brown. I’m not really a fan of the Saddle Brown until it darkens up so I usually speed up the process with a little coconut oil.

I really want to like the Apple silicone cases but the way they feel when pulling my phone out of my pocket is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Anyone else feel this way?

I’d bet on it. I wish I’d bought one in that color before they discontinued it.

Also, the Orange is gone too.
 
Amazon has black leather 36.99

Price matched at Best Buy

I think I'm done now. Have saddle brown leather and white silicone too. Getting sucked in to the accessory game. But I got silicone for $30 and saddle brown $37ish cause of a 25% discount accessories bundle when I got those.

On a related note

I hate the units that have creases/waviness or scratches ( I wanna scratch it myself, not have it pre-scratched) out of the box. Quite a bit of variation with leather

Had to look at a few to get s good one. Power Buttons a bit stiffer Than my saddle brown but the upside is the leather Looked more uniform and was premium feeling than other black units (not as grainy as others but also not as slippery either)

I was picky wit which saddle brown unit to go with too

It appears the Spicy Orange isn't coming back in stock. So sad. I would try to get one off eBay but it's hard to tell real from fake since they all say Real Apple OEM. Even the $5 ones say real apple case.

That was incredibly short lived, I wonder why?
