I would love to see a picture of the red leather case on your phone please! I am yet to see any IRL photos of the red leather 😍
Wow. I ordered mine yesterday at preorder time and it shipped yesterday and came today. Fastest I’ve ever gotten a case.
Having gone for Product Red leather cases (aged terribly) and Saddle Brown leather cases (looks beautiful even after a year of use) previously, I’ve gone California Poppy this time round. I’ve seen lots of peoples opinions about it developing a terrible patina but I’m really curious and looking forward to seeing how it ages.
That’s great, hopefully it’s some kind of glitch- every other color shows as available for pickup tomorrow in my area. Very strange- even the regular non-Max size case in the same Baltic blue is available, but not Max.
Doesn’t really bother me. It actually shows it’s real leather and not some synthetic plastic where you can mould it around corners without creasing it up.
Would someone be able to post comparison shots between the leather and silicone cases so I can compare the thickness. Thanks.
How does Pacific Blue Pro look with the black leather? Based on the images on Apple's site, it doesn't look like a good combo to me. But it might look different in real life. I usually get black, but since I decided to go with a Pacific Blue Pro Max, I wasn't sure of how the combo looks. Thanks!
The leather, which is grainier, seemed to be a bit “tougher”. As someone who wants a more substantial case, it was ever so slightly bigger as well.can you elaborate a bit, what you liked better about it?
Got my Baltic Blue and Black Leather cases delivered.
Black is going back, the BB is a stunning colour. Has a deep blue indoors and in dim light and it brightens in daylight.
I cannot get the little animation to kick in when I put it on the phone though.
I was using the ESR navy leather prior to these and these are far superior. The ESR leather is a bit papery; I’d debate if it’s genuine leather at all

There was a post a couple of pages back showing the black on blue. I thought it looked great, can’t go wrong with black on any color phone. I may go that route since the Baltic blue case for the Max is back ordered for many weeks. 😭 Or I may get a cheap clear case to use in the meantime and wait for Baltic. And I thought the tough decisions were over after many days when I finally decided on the phone color a few minutes before preorder!

Well, couldn’t resist. Got the traditional saddle brown for the 12/12 pro for pickup in store. I won’t be able to get there until tomorrow though.
I had originally order Baltic Blue, but returned it because I was not to sure how it was going to age. It reminds of cosmos blue which in my opinion it did not age to well. So I went with saddle brown
Any chance you could take a picture of the case next to the phone, from the sides? I’d like to see how thick the case is compared to the phone.
Thanks!
Does anyone have a Meyer lemon leather case released last year and used it a fair bit? That should give a good indication of the patina and colour of the California poppy after some use.
I received both Saddle Brown and California Poppy today from Amazon.
Almost instantly I put the Saddle Brown back in the box for returning!
The California Poppy is a lot nicer in my opinion.

Baltic blue probably to a darker blue.
Midnight blue of the past years patinas to black.
