I love saddle brown on my 7+ but I feel like I don't want new design X looking all antique from patina ;)

Did you abandon the Otterbox Statement already? Lol

No this pre-dated getting the statement

After the leather case resulted in my 7+ screen shattering (no glass protector but still) I never even used my black X leather case. Promptly returned it and otterbox has been the one and only
Case I’ve had for this phone since launch :D

This is my first apple case, but do they usually come out with new colors? I just thought it was during the fall when there's a new phone release, but if they come out will more colors later, that will be cool.
I believe it has been every time a new device or product is announced. In the past they had new color cases and watch straps in the summer and then recently updated them in the fall.
 
The new silicone for X do have off colored buttons from the color it is

I really like that!

The 7 wasn’t that way

I’m trying out the last cobolt blue at the store

Really digging it. And wow it’s slim compared to otterbo.
 
I purchased a Saddle Brown Leather case yesterday. I was torn between the Silicone case and the Leather one but decided to go with the latter.

Does anyone have the Product Red Silicone case? I would like some input regarding that one and know how someone feels about it after a week or longer. I've heard many good things about the white Silicone case and it looks stunning, but not sure if that's the one I want.
 
Have the Dark Olive. It is pretty much a warmer charcoal grey... no detectable green in it.
Its a pretty nice colour though.
 
iPhone X SG with Dark Aubergine leather case. It's almost as dark as black, but not quite, and that's what I like about it.

(please excuse the crappy photo quality... my (work) Samsung S5 here :D)

I often think iPhones look much better with the leather cases than without. And with the X's flush camera bump, it looks as if the leather-wrapped form is the proper mode.

Looks lush!

Can you take a close up pic of the camera? Is the cutout flush on all sides? Mine is flush at the bottom right corner but has a 1mm gap around the other edges.
Sure, but what do you mean by "flush"? I know what the word means but I can't place it in the context here. #notanenglishnativespeaker #sorry

I suppose you mean, "even" :D - yes, the cutout for the camera looks completely even to me.

Here's some close-ups... (click on the thumbnails)

I’ve had three different Apple leather cases and they’ve all varied in terms of the fit around the camera. Two have been worse than the third which is relatively even. It would also seem though after a week or so of use the fit seems to get slightly better and more even.

Flush as in no gaps between case and camera

Thanks for the pics, yours look completely even around the camera with little to no gaps.

I also have the white silicone case and that’s completely perfect around the camera. Can’t even see a small gap.

I’ve used it for a week and it’s still the same :/ i love the case itself but the gap bothers me.

The silicon case is definitely a flusher fit. The variation in fit on the leather case is the reason why I've been through a few of them - Apple's exchange policy is very generous in this regard - so I'd keep trying until you get one you're happy with.

It is a shame given the high price that the quality of the leather cases varies so much.
