I currently own a Nomad rugged folio and love it but it‘s a bit hefty and I fancy picking up a genuine Apple white smart folio for more lightweight household duties. Having owned a black one previously I know the material turns to elephant skin and starts falling apart, but still, the white one does look pretty crisp and is currently available dirt cheap. My question is, will it stay white while it’s still in one piece or will it be yellow/brown by the end of the week?
 
I had one for my 11” for about two years. It worked well, did get quite dirty though but not a huge deal. If they were the same price I’d pick a different colour but if you can get the white for cheaper it’s a good buy.

Thanks. Bought two for a little over half the SRP of one, so I don’t mind if the first one ends up getting a bit tatty over time. In my experience they eventually start falling apart anyway so at least I have an unboxed spare. White looks super fresh and contrasts nicely with Space Gray 👍
