Some people expect all leather to feel like suede, and that isn't the case.
Tmobile's feels softer because it isn't dyed. It is the same leather and it is tanned the same way.
I had both side by side today at the T-Mobile store and they do feel differently but not by much.
The biggest detraction for the tan T-Mobile one will be it showing stains. I know that it can be cleaned,but I would be more worried about that than the little bit of difference in the feel between them TBH.

I have the T-Mo brown leather, and checked out the black at Verizon. I was not as impressed with the quality of the feel. Depending where you live, the brown leather may be tough to get. In the US it is a T-Mobile exclusive, while the other carriers have the black.
Black sucks ive had both. I got the black on verizon and took the phone back and then went to Tmobile and got the Brown tmobile version. Its night and day difference. It has a leather smell and feel. Black is totally fake
The black is not fake its just a different texture leather. It also has some coating on it that makes it look plasticky. The brown is nice but its a little to light for me. More like a pumpkin orange. As far as grip they are both about the same after time.

That's how I feel. I wanted a brown leather back to interchange with the black depending on whether I was wearing dark or light tones for the day, but once I saw it, the brown was too light for my taste. Astonishingly, the "red" filled that role perfectly. I personally prefer it over the brown by a mile, and think it should be considered by anyone looking for a "brown" back.The black is not fake its just a different texture leather.

Yes, the red is quite striking IMO.I would make the choice between brown or maroon / dark red, if that is available to you. I was initially considering the dark red but eventually settled on the brown. I think both of those are very nice indeed. As far as I can tell, they are all genuine leather backs, so they'll age over time.
