Shows every speck of dirt...
Edited after 9 months of use...<br />I'm increasing my 3 star rating to 5 stars. Here's why: I'm updating this review using a flawless iPhone 6 Plus. I drop my phone regularly-- several times a day, matter of fact. I am a complete klutz. Before buying this case, I've broken countless screens (I'm currently at my max of two replaced screens under this particular device's two year AppleCare plan). Since putting my phone in this case, no more broken screens-- not even a scratch, despite the daily droppings. The case has protected my phone like nothing else I've owned in the 18 years I've carried cell phones. Because of this case, I'll be able to get a considerable amount of money selling the phone it's protected secondhand to help pay for the iPhone 8 Plus I have on order.<br /><br />Today I find myself coming back to Extra Studio to order a case for the iPhone 8 Plus, and you know what? I'm going to choose the same color. Below I complain about the case becoming dirty, showing every speck of dirt. Over time, the patina of this case has grown on me and I've gotten so many compliments from strangers. Today it looks more like a camel brown than the soft, pinkish-beige it started out as. I will say this: if you want this case to retain its original color, it's not going to happen. It's going to get dirty, it's going to patina. Coming to appreciate the patina took time for me, but if I expect to have my next phone for two years, I'll tolerate the time it takes for the patina to mature in order to keep my phone this level of protected.<br /><br />***********************************************<br /><br />This case had a stunning appearance upon its arrival. It is very well made and protects my phone well. Unfortunately, the color I chose, Nature Tan, shows every speck of dirt it encounters, and I have not had success wiping off blemishes. Now, after only one month of use, it looks dingy and dirty-- not &#34;patinated&#34; like one might expect with a leather product.<br /><br />I would recommend this product, but I do not recommend this color.
