So I bought the Baltic blue leather case, used it for 2 days and pack it back in the box cox I prefer my ringke fusion, a friend is nice enough to offer me full price to buy it...dilemma now if I should keep it to use till I’m bored with transparent black, or should I instead get the navy blue silicone for everyday use? (coz the leather is not viable for everyday use to me)...any thoughts? biggrin.gif anyone bought the leather and regretted not getting silicone or vice versa?

my question is that why u wanna get silicon case? when u got ringke fusion already?  :confused:

Feels more premium ..maybe? Haha actually it’s more for the time when I’m bored with transparent case..needed something different biggrin.gif

Why does the leather case can’t be used on a daily basis?
*
I prefer to use my phone without having to worry about the case i.e getting wet or scratches etc...afterall having a case is to protect the phone, not me protecting the case biggrin.gif

Ive been using apple leather case on my ip11 pro max for the last 6 months or so, never had to worry about it..now im using apple leather case for ip12 pro max as a daily case also no issues. It’s not that fragile a case...

occasionally i swap to my pitaka air case, which offers almost no protection should i drop the phone. But it covers the back from scratches.

Ohh ok, thanks for sharing. maybe i’ll just keep the leather then..

anyone else can share your experience using both silicone vs leather? Need more sharings to decide biggrin.gif

I know the leather definitely looks better, but which one is actually more comfortable to hold on hand etc? Tyvm

Leather case is my choice cause I love the feel of leather and it’s texture.

I have 2 apple leather case and 1 nomad leather case on its way. Now I am eyeing leather case by Woolnut, Smith & Leather Korea.

I have an apple silicone case too.  And 4 cheap silicone cases bought from shopee.

Both also good to hold on hand with silicone slightly more licin.

Wahhhhh so many cases bro!! Thanks for sharing smile.gif

I noticed the top corner of my Apple silicone case is starting to show sign of wear... there is some discoloration at the corner where it goes into my pocket often... wonder if this is covered by Apple's warranty?

No regrets on getting the leather case. I’m still using it😆

I bought the Baltic blue leather but it’s in the box now cox I prefer my ringke fusion smoked black(clear back is more sexy) but eventually once I’m bored with the look I’ll need one to cover it, and my pick is either the silicone or leather...I can choose to keep the leather or sell it to a friend the same price as I bought , and I need to decide fast...

I’ve been eyeing at the silicone deep blue but when put next to Baltic, the leather looks more matchy with my Pacific blue...

QUOTE(neekun @ Jan 7 2021, 02:34 PM)
I have both leather and silicone, no regrets! Both also i like, leather looks very premium and classy, but need to a bit careful when handling not to scratch or kena water, i tend to baby my case ;-p For silicone its more for rough handling.
*
So you mean the silicone is more durable for rough use?ive been told the opposite though..a friend uses both and told me the silicone easily get lint and greasy oil/sweat and need to wipe often to remove those, and in long run might peel off etc....compare to the leather it will only patina but might turn out nice with its patina character etc etc etc...lol

Did you get the deep blue silicone and Baltic leather ?

You think which had a better grip between the silicone and leather? Or compare these 2 with clear cases?

Clear definitely weak in grip. Leather with better grip compare with silicone.

Oh haha. For some reason i find my ringke fusion clear better grip than the leather laugh.gif

Ya it’s actually darker vs photo I took using my duno how many years punya Ipad. I use wet tissue to clean it once a week and hope it continues to develop nice patina over time..

Yea I get it, the real tone should look something like the picture’s bottom left corner shaded part..biggrin.gif wonder if the blue will patina well over time or not

Haha ya u are right! The real colour is like the shade at bottom left.

For Baltic blue I also have no idea whether it will develop patina since it’s already quite dark. This is the reason why I go for saddle brown instead of Baltic blue although Baltic blue looks nice on pacific blue...may have to wait other forumer to share their Baltic blue patina

I hope it won’t turn dark like this, it looks pretty dirty in my opinion...

i literally jumped when he banged his naked phone on the table like wth  laugh.gif  I think he is so carefree i doubt many apple leather users here woud be so carefree towards the case considering the price huhu..

Yes I think that’s not patina anymore, more like discoloration...seeing how he can knock his phone so careless tells a lot about how he uses the case too, I can’t brain how would a case turn to that within a month, unless he use it really really rough or he intentionally rub it against something hard over time...

QUOTE(mycolumn @ Jan 7 2021, 07:45 PM)
That’s an even darkening. Love it. I’ll take a photo of my baltic blue one soon.

How long have you been using the Baltic? Share share pic with us biggrin.gif

Looks like brand new out of the box haha...did you handle it with super care or just use it naturally?

Btw I still can’t make up my mind if I’m gonna keep the Baltic blue or swap with the silicone deep blue haha...

Oooo interesting, coz most people shared that the leather is grippier than the silicone...

How do you find clear/transparent cases vs these?
