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.

[–] Moc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.
