Honestly, I think designers are a bit biased toward the whole leather/skeumorphic stuff. We tend to hate on these things. Strangely, my wife just got her 4GS and it totally tickled her pink to see the leather in find my friends.
It looks great. Leather is totally fine, in general I believe realistic textures will always be interesting to see in digital platforms. However I do think linen is a bit over-abused, it might be just me though.
This is a really well done texture. I also think that we are biased towards the whole leather texture issue, but I also feel like one of the main things that I hear from people who dislike Apple is that feeling like it's "Fisher Price". The worst was with the bubble iMacs, of course, but Find My Friends doesn't do anything for me. I've heard quite a few different people who aren't in any sort of design industry comment both ways on it. I think they achieved what they wanted to with Find My Friends, but it definitely isn't their finest work overall, along with iCal.
Anyways, I really like the more subtle texture of your work here Jeff

The texture looks great. I'm just not sure if it's a good idea to use texture in the UI after apples leather hell in "find my friends" … ;)

I feel like the use of a black status bar would be better. Combo of the silver status bar and leather UI seems to busy to me.

I'm with you Jeff... this looks really solid! I love how it has a slightly worn/used look to the texture.

Looks like a brown version of the Instagram navbar. I thought you didn't like that thing? :P

Absolutely love this texture. Looks almost suede-like to me. I imagine if I swipe my finger across it will leave a mark. Yum!
