> How many leather cases do you go through per phone?

one every 3 to 6 months, depends on how long i'm travelling for (as that's when i usually drop/scratch/etc my case the most).



Interesting. I still have my iPhone6 leather case (been meaning to throw it out) - it's a bit worn around the edges but it still holds and isn't gummy.

Currently I find otterbox cases are fantastic grip/slide ratio that I prefer to my old leather case.


I don’t personally use leather, but I have been lead to believe that it is the longest-lasting and most repairable material. Are those people just lying to justify their purchasing habits?


You should take better care of your things. A leather case every 3 months is unbelievably wasteful. This type of careless behavior is killing our planet.


I appreciate that you rephrased this from your original comment, which was incredibly dismissive.

But this is still condescending and hyperbolic. I'm as surprised as the next guy that anyone would go through multiple iPhone cases per year, but I don't know anything about him, his family/habits/clumsiness, so I would not make such judgmental remarks.

And from a practical perspective, you will win zero converts by telling strangers on the internet that they are "killing our planet".
