Usually start off with silicone but this time have gone straight to leather. I have the midnight green colour and the saddle brown case. Doesn’t look amazing now, but will once the patina effect kicks in and the brown darkens.
Initially, yes but that goes away within a week or two. Up until early last year I was still buying cases for my XS even though I always ended up putting the leather back on. This year it's Midnight Blue leather from day one. More than worth the $50 price tag.
Apple black leather case on my Space Grey Pro. Always like the genuine leather cases but I will admit I preferred the older leather cases that didn’t have actual buttons on them and just had raised leather as I find the buttons on the genuine leather cases to be sharp on the edges at times.
Bought the Apple clear case, exchanged it within 24 hours the iPhone 11pro arrived. Hated the clear case it’s so slippery. Back to the Apple leather case.
The clear case has another fault too. Whole reason I buy a case is to get rid of the camera bump. The Apple clear case adds an extra bump to the camera bump. So dumb

No nothing like the Apple clear case. I’ve never dropped my phone with the leather case. Day 1 with the clear case dropped it twice it’s so oily/waxy it’s hard to grip.
They get a lot more grip to them after they break in. I do agree, out of the box they are Like a bar of soap.
I do agree that the Leather starts out a bit slick, but it does break in and feels good pretty soon.
I initially had this combination, but exchanged the saddle brown leather case for the forest green. I loved the combination of the midnight green with the forest green.
I see a lot of comments like saddle goes great with the green iPhone and Blue on space gray, etc.
I don’t know, you can barely tell the color of the phone with the case on. The camera square and the bottom edge are the only things that show and barely at that.
This why the clear case sounded appealing but slippery is a non-starter.

I have the tan leather case on my 6S and it's held up remarkably well over the 3 years I've had it. The corners have smoothed out over the years but the back looks amazing.
I'll be buying the 11 soon, and there's no leather case for that. Apple never made one for the XR so I assume they'll never be one for the 11. Pity. I'll need to look at a third party option.

I used to cheap out on cases, but I found that the fit and finish of Apple's cases are the best, so I use those. I have the Apple clear case on my new phone, and it is a bit slick, but I also use a Popgrip slide on it most of the time which makes it easier to hold.
I have always gone with the black Leather cases. Last year I went with 2 cases and swapped back and forth between Black and Brown. This year, there is something a little different about the cases, seem softer, and they grip tighter to the phone. Went with the black only and think I am sticking with it.
IMO the leather cases are definitely the best made by Apple, all the rest out there not as good. Not sure what it is but they are really doing something with their leather cases to be on top. I wonder what leather is from?
I usually get the "Spiggen clear liquid crystal" because it isn't slippery at all and has a good lip to protect the screen and Ive dropped my XS numerous times with it, before I used Apple Silicon....this time I bought the Apple Clear Case..but people saying ti is slippery is scaring me a bit, supposedly the bumpers are supposed to be a different compound that is grippier...
I checked out the clear today at the Apple Store. I wasn’t impressed. It is definitely slippery and it adds bulk similar to the silicone. The leather is still the slimest.
I always like to try a different color leather case with every phone release. I was really tempted to get the green this time but I wasn’t sure I’d love forest green. After seeing it today though I wish I had. It’s more of a blue green than forest green. I’d consider returning my red but I threw out the box. I don’t think they would take it back?

Don’t judge me but I bought all of the apple leather cases this year. I love them that much. 😂
Same here. The cheap cases would also start falling apart on me. I got the light blue silicone one to go with my green 11 Pro.
