Leather vs Silicone - the X edition

for iphone 6 , 6s had 1 silicone , 2 leather cases (apple, natch). liked them all, however, leather cases became more coarse in areas side, hold phone, due sweat, guess. it's hard describe - small bubbles started forming. had on first case (black), on newer 1 (saddle brown) used new "european leather". please note, not talking patina - darkening of leather - naturally developed (and looks quite nice me, actually). also, generally, leather cases seemed more worn after year (again, not talking patina/discoloration, fine)

on other hand, white silicone case remained pristine , after year of use, it's same day one.

so, it's time case again, , wondering people here prefer. thing is, how saddle brown looks , think feels in hand. also, don't know when apple changed this, leather cases have metal buttons, cool.

however, wouldn't surprised wear badly again. also, after watching detroitborg's iphone x cases video, notes silicone cases have microfiber inside way sides, while leather ones have on (sides leather, , worse, buttons metal metal can cause wear faster).

look, don't mind scratch or two, , how saddle brown looks, seem silicone cases better option. guys think?

 

apple silicone cases grippy me. when tried 1 in store last year hard phone out of jeans pocket - felt more drop case on no case.

leather doesn’t have problem.
