People had a habit of posting absolutely disgusting leather iPhone cases, specially the brown one, and by using a fancy word like "patina" pretend it's not a teary oily mess.
So with that in mind, I think the new material will actually age better and people will actually like it, much like aged jeans.
That’s literally what patina means though.
I tried to search the internet to determine whether a leather phone case is unhygienic. There seems to be nothing on this topic. I’m sure it is, but I’d love to see an actual article or study on it.
Sure.
But Apple's leather aged like dogshit.
I agree with you. I bought another brand’s leather case and I’m pretty happy with it.
Now that you mention it, I have an apple leather case from the 12 era on right now and the patina pattern is absolutely horrendous. I might need to put some oil over it or something.
It is rather poor quality, yeah. But I’ve come across some companies that use a way better grade of leather. I had one for an old Android a while back made from brown Horween leather, and it actually did develop a really nice patina over time.
Yes? My point is that calling a degraded material by a fancy name doesn't change anything about it, just makes people feel better about the money spent.
Although one has to ask... When is the last time you ran your fingernail along your jeans and left a permanent indentation?
