Which Apple leather is best for not showing dirt/patina?

[biscuitsxluv]

Put a protectant on your case so it doesn't look bad from oils, dirt, sweat etc.

Oh! Never thought of that! Thank you!

Do you think my case will end up looking like that as well after a few months? I hope it doesn’t turn to some nasty color. I’ll be disappointed. If it does I’m going back for the black one.

I think you should ask anyway and see what they say.

Unfortunately, yes. Yours is even brighter than the Berry. I was able to tell mine had darkened in about a week, but still kept it. So you might as well keep it for a while and decided before the 14 day return period lapses.

Any recommendations?

It’s such a shame they age so poorly. I got the berry colored leather case for my 7 Plus and within a week you could tell it was a different shade than when new. I stopped using it after 4 months because I felt it looked disgusting. Only the black color seems to perfectly stay the same. I like the feel of the leather case, otherwise I would choose silicon, but they also lack the metal buttons and therefore feel less responsive. I’m trying the Cosmos Blue color this time though. I know it will darken, but hopefully in a not so objectionable way and allow me to use it longer.

Hows the cosmos blue doing please? thinking of buying one, now...or the charcoal gray, not sure if that would change much though?

I got the charcoal gray leather case for my space gray 8+ and so far its holding up really well.

A little late to this game but I've had the Aubergine since it came out. It is not showing patina at all

How does the Taupe case do with wear and dirt? It’s a nice non-offensive Gray like color that I wanted to try also.

black and midnight blue in my experiences.

I always get the Apple Leather Black case for all my iPhone's although I also have the saddle brown on my X. Love em both.

This is an old thread but I thought I'd bring it back, seems like the new forest green doesn't change much. I just bought a used one that was supposedly used a few months and it still looks like new.

I went with black for my iPhone X and my Air2 and neither looks different from when purchased. I really do like the way the saddle brown ages tough so I wouldn’t be against giving that color a try next time around
