That’s always my concern with the darker silicone cases

That's the trade-off with leather -- no lint, but more slippery, and that patina. If only apple used the same material in their Sport Bands instead of silicone...
 
That’s great. That’s always my concern with the darker silicone cases

Black silicone is a lint magnet and wears and leaves marks where you hold it, my experience anyway.

That’s why I haven’t got a leather for my X till this week, I got charcoal grey and it’s not slippery at all, I was very surprised.
 
I got the cobalt blue silicon case less than a month ago and I am noticing that the matte on the 4 corners on the back have worn off and now the corners are starting to become shiny. Has anyone else had this issue? I am returning it to amazon and am starting to wonder whether I should go with a leather case instead.

Has anyone heard whether the cobalt blue case has been discontinued? It is not available on the apple site.

I had similar on a black, for $59 here the silicone is a ripoff imo, they fit nice but thats about it. If you get a good leather one you wont go back.

Do you have another photo of your cosmos blue leather case with the patina? I am dying to see how the case ages.

Thank you!

Here's some updated photos. I didn't use this one for awhile when I got my Orange leather but it's definitely more aged than my last pic.

Just a little for my taste. However, it did look nice though.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

I also have the Space Grey X and just picked up the Electric Blue leather case. It is cool, but maybe too loud and not as natural looking as either the black or saddle brown leather cases that I already have. I may return it.

I actually just took off my solid suit for my black leather. Granted, there is little to no protection, but the fit and feel are excellent.

The black leather case looks so damn good lol. It has a stealthy look to it which I love. It’s the reason why I went from silver iPhone to the space grey X.
