My sleeve in Baltic blue for my 12 Pro Max arrived a few minutes ago. I will report back after I've been hands on with it a bit longer. I've always used a case although for messages and such I generally just check my watch and will do quick responses on the watch but more lengthy responses I go to my laptop (since I'm home all the time now) or phone. I like the look and feel of it....but I do spend a lot of time right now obsessively checking my UPS app for packages for the Christmas....normally I'm not *that* tied to my phone and use my MacBook.... ironically my MagSafe from Apple is stuck in China....it was suppose to arrive last week but now it's projected for next week. Also I broke down and ordered the Duo and that will arrive tomorrow. I've found my QI chargers weren't charging as predictably with the 12 PM as they did for my 11. I will end up swapping everything out for the MagSafe

The real test will be can I pull it out of the sleeve to connect to AirPods to answer random phone calls
Don't answer phone calls. Thats what I do.The real test will be can I pull it out of the sleeve to connect to AirPods to answer random phone calls
To be honest during the day I'm usually on a conf call so I just decline them on my watch and return them when I have a break (if I chose to return them.....more people should text)Don't answer phone calls. Thats what I do.
got my Baltic Leather Sleeve for 12PM...
It's big.
Feels and smells nice.
Needs to display more info on the window to be actually useful, i hear a new message come in, but don't see anything, so of course next course of action is to pull it out of the sleeve.
Shows that the phone is charging, but not what %, still need to pull it out of the sleeve to see the progress.
I think i'll keep it for the times I want to go caseless, will feel much more comfortable with the phone inside this case then just in my pocket. If apple enhances what the screen shows, it might be more worth it...

Thanks for the impressions. They really helped me decide on whether to get this sleeve. Your impressions were really informative.
I'm still testing out the sleeve - I love the look of it and the strap to carry it around. I found that listening to music last night I could choose my playlist and then put the phone back in the sleeve and control volume or go to the next track using my watch. I also use my AirPods with my phone anyway for calls so that wasn't a big difference. I will test it out this weekend when we go out of town to see how it works when I'm "out in the wild"....it's a nice looking case - especially the baltic blue with the Gold Pro Max
Thanks for the update. Do let us know how you got along with it over the weekend.I'm still testing out the sleeve - I love the look of it and the strap to carry it around.

Any update on how you like the case? Do you find it too big to carry in your pocket, or is it comfortable?
I will - taking it out into the wild will confirm if it can be a daily driver or just occasional.... It feels strange to use the phone without a case even at home...I promise to report back

Easy, relax. All you want is a really special piece of leather wrapped casually around your naked iPhone and concealed credit cards. Lined with supercar level Italian Alcantara. The Wild iPhone case says effortless cool better than anything else out there. What sets it apart There is something...

I have decided I will be keeping the Apple leather sleeve and returning the other cases I bought for the mini.
Good to know that. Would you mind sharing your thoughts on why you have decided to keep it?
It is easy to remove from the case and I like that I can see the time without removing the phone. It isn’t really noticeable in my front pants pocket. The phone stays secure in the sleeve. I can easily listen to music with the phone in the case (when I don’t have my AirPods Pro with me) I may be wrong here but, the case feels a little lighter than the Apple leather case. It also doesn’t feel slippery like the new Apple leather case does. I have grown fond of being able to use my mini naked while not traveling in my pocket.
Thank you for the informative reply. Among other things, I was also thinking the ability to see the time would be very useful. Enjoy using you sleeve and the phone.
does anyone else’s sleeve not connect to the phone after sliding up all the way?
It has happened to me a 3 times since I got the sleeve. I wasn’t sure if there was an error on my part or a simple intermittent software bug.
I haven’t been able to get my sleeve to recognize my phone, no matter how many times I slide it in and out. I also have a slickwraps skin on the back of it, so I wonder if that’s what’s causing the phone to not be recognized... to Apple support I go!
