I'm wondering the same as I've never used an official case. I'm assuming the silicone case is lighter and thinner. I'll be ordering the leather case ( 12 Mini ).
I find naked iPhones to be too slippery, so looking for a case to give it some grip while also being as thin as possible.

The official leather one is the best👍
Silicone is grippier at first but once the leather absorbs your oils it’s grippier. It’s also thinner.
This is simply not true. Oily leather is slippery. The oil fills the pores which is what initially provides the grip. Anyone who has had a car with a leather steering wheel will know this.
QueenTyrone is probably referring to how a brand new leather case starts out slippery, then there’s a period of time where it becomes a bit more grippy (sticky almost) before it eventually becomes hard and slick like your aged leather steering wheel (nice).

Worn leather isn’t oily. Not unless your eating something oily and it gets on your hands. The leather absorbs the oil. That is why leather ‘ages’. I have used the Apple leather case since they came out years ago. It certainly is true.
You mean within Apple’s leather cases there are good ones and not so good? How do you know which are the good ones?Never experienced this
It’s never gotten hard like a leather steering wheel for me. I choose the best leather from the Apple leather cases and never have a problem. They’re still lush and grippy and I’ve passed them down to my mom and dad. I only clean them once a month and condition them. My silicone cases though? I have to alcohol wipe them every 2 days or they’re so damn slippery. It’s annoying, I find that if you choose the lower quality Apple leather cases (which I have before) they don’t wear as nice. Or are as grippy. It’s definitely more painstaking looking through 20-30 Apple leather cases between 4-5 stores but it’s always worth while for me in the end.
Bingo, none of my worn leather on my high end bags nor leather Apple cases are oily. Idk
