Not worth $89AUD is what i think.
I honestly thought it was going to be more than $89 since the silicone cases are $79.

Couldn’t help myself, had to have that Baltic blue leather goodness, hopefully it ages well. 🤔

I've had them every year but never stick with them, usually free too ;)

Sorry you’re not tech savvy.


dude. It’s simple. Just click on the little video box in the bottom left after you click the link. It will then play the video. But if it’s a situation where you don’t want to play it at all then ok.
 
So they aren’ta flat back anymore? It has a raised lip for the cameras? That sucks

I don’t understand this criticism. If the lip provides more protection for the camera array then it’s a bad thing? Or are we just attacking the aesthetic? I think it looks fine. We’re not getting less leather because of it

oh I see. The back could possibly rock a little bit because it’s not completely flat? Since I have the case let me test that out on the table I’ll be right back

Yeah, that’s what I never liked about the ultra thin cases with the raised lip. It doesn’t sit flat. I prefer the whole case to be a little thicker so it’s flat. Not the end of the world, I’ve never found a case I like better than the Apple leather case so I’m sure that’s what I’ll end up with. I also ordered the clear case to see how I like it. I think seeing the Magsafe intervals looks kind of cool

Ok here’s the deal. I just tested the new leather case on a flat surface. No rocking issues unless you’re going out of your way to look for It and the only way there’s even a tiny bit of rocking is if you’re tapping the very top of the case. And for where you type on the keyboard? no rocking. Case is solid. no Worries

It looks flimsier than usual, besides the raised camera, which I don't mind.

I have a saddle brown coming Tuesday.

My last leather was orange, besides my usual saddle brown. This is a lot brighter, I have to see it in person.

Awesome. Thanks for testing it out
 
I ordered the blue one for my 12 Pro, if I’m not mistaken, the 12 Pro case doesn’t have the raised lip around the camera bump like the Pro Max case does.
 
I have the Baltic Blue leather case for my 12 Pro. It lies perfectly flat with no rocking. The lip around the camera is recessed rather than raised.

I bought the same combo as well....why did you decide to return the case?
There’s nothing wrong at all with the combo Because it’s all about preference. After putting the 12 pro gold and the Cali poppy together after several minutes I then tried a saddle brown Apple leather case I used to have for an iPhone 6s Plus that was still in a drawer. After looking at the combo the gold and brown was an instant natural mix in my eyes. if you’re into the Cali poppy stick with it. i Like it’s color.

I think it looks good. I've been thinking about a leather case for my phone as well.
 
Waiting for my Apple Leather case, in Black, to be delivered. I normally run with one leather case, and one URBN GEAR ARMY case.

From the video, this new 'edition' of the leather case looks 'thin' and flimsy, almost looks like a silicone one (cannot stand those cases).

Anyway, I will check the quality of the leather case, once delivered. I believe mine is expected on Tuesday...
