Kind of glad that I went with a Spigen case, instead. I can’t justify $60 for a case that is so delicate.

Let's be honest here - drag a fingernail on leather and it's going to do the same, and it's not guaranteed that it'll "patina" away.

I'm still on an 11 so I've no horse in this race, but I do think the Verge jumped the gun for clicks on this. If they held the article a few months to see how it really holds up, then I'd consider it a valid criticism, but it seems they tried to build a wildfire on an edge-case...

(This /c is really starting to feel like the old subreddit apple-haters of old. sigh.)
