Silicone cases for iPhone collect dust and fluff

This isn't so much a question for support, but more of a 'am I the only one' question.


I have a Midnight Blue iPhone 7 Plus/8 Plus Silicone case currently on my iPhone 7 Plus. When I put it in my jeans pockets or jumper pockets, they collect all the loose dust, fluff and anything else that may be tiny and in the corners of your pockets. Does anyone else find this a little irritating or is it just me?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11.3

This is the main reason I do not buy silicone cases. The closest thing to a silicone case I get is OtterBox cases which have the hard plastic outer case. They call the inner case a "synthetic rubber" which is probably silicone, but with the help of the hard outer cover it doesn't seem to collect dirt like other silicone cases.

User uploaded file This sort of shows the fluff on the top where it’s at the bottom of my pocket. I’m considering getting a leather case, I just don’t want it to do the same thing. I also noticed the case was starting to bow and I thought my phone was bent and I started to panic. I’ve only had it about 2 months and my phone about 4 months. How would you rate your otterbox case as I’ve been curious about them for a while now?
