I'm with Tim, Chris, and Dennis. I like the aging the leather does, if I could age it when new, I would. Had the Apple leather case on previous iPhone 7+, and was quite disappointed using a new case on the new X. But it's turned out much better.

Does anyone understand that the leather case (and leather accessories in general) are a fashion statement. The leather case is supposed to discolor and build a patina. I specifically buy Coach wallets because of the patina they get from the oils in my hand and being moved in and out of my pocket. It doesn't even start to look good until about a year.
Unfortunately your multiple choice selection didn't offer a selection like: "Yes, I've had it for 4 months and it's just starting to look good and feel like a favorite wallet or baseball glove." (That's my choice)
BTW, you can't fake a leather patina with neatsfoot oil or saddle soap ... it looks phone. A good patina must be earned and my iPhone X leather case is just starting to look like a well seasoned tool.

I used the MonCarbone carbon fiber cases. A little more $ but the case looks exactly the same as the day I bought it. Had it for my 6S and now my X. 6S case still in excellent condition.

I got the 6s from day one with the brown leather case, I love the aging of this case and will buy it also when I upgrade to a new iPhone. The quality of the case is worth every penny.

I like the aged, darker look of the leather as it ages.
