I bet it is the wrap causing the problem.

Apple Leather iPhone Sleeve (in hand)

I can verify you will get stuck (b/c I did this with one of my really thin cases to test it out) with my Pro Max and sleeve....I'm thinking I might look at a skin to make my phone more "grippy"
Received a saddle brown sleeve for my 12 pro.
The sleeve is not compatible with glass screen protectors. The glass protector will bubble around the top corners.

I am using a full screen glass screen protector with no problems.
Anyone having issues where putting the phone in the case won’t trigger the wallpaper change and MagSafe sound? Mine no longer works :-(
Slight update: found out I was on 14.1 instead of 14.2 (where the sleeve animation was first enabled). Whoops!
Just received my Baltic blue sleeve for my iPhone 12 Pro. Love being able to use my phone without a case and enjoy it as it’s meant to be (which is the main reason I wanted to try this sleeve). May take some getting used to but we will see. Think I am going to give it a test for a couple days before I decide if I am going to keep it or not...but the phone feels so much better in the hand without a case on so I’m likely to keep it.
Greetings!
After using the sleeve over the weekend - while out of town I can verify the sleeve is nice. I do have the strap attached. It held up as I was fighting with five German sheps to get them loaded into our jeep to head to the vet to be kenneled. The one thing I'm trying to get used to is using my phone without a case..... truth be told there are only a few apps that require me to look at my phone. I normally get notifications via my AW. I also sit at my laptop all day and can answer messages, email from the laptop. So far, so good.....I'm even thinking of ordering a second one in a different color

If someone is looking for a way to help cut down on screen time on the phone, a sleeve is a good way to approach the problem, in my opinion.Greetings!

Sounds like you are having to retrain your brain that you don’t have to reach for your phone as much.
I returned the Saddle Brown today and will keep the Citrus, because it is easier to spot and I am less likely to miss seeing it when I place it on a table etc. versus the saddle brown, which tends to blend in a lot better.

I just got the Baltic blue sleeve today for my 12 Pro Max. Initially the animation did not work, but after I rebooted the iPhone (running iOS 14.3) it started working - strange.
I like the sleeve and will keep. To start with I am using without the strap, but think the strap may be useful when the weather gets hotter and I am out and about without jacket, as the 12 Pro Max is heavy enough that it feels like it is pulling down my pants/trousers if in the pocket

Very odd, I feel like other than my MagSafe charger, I get no animation or sound with any of my MagSafe cases... rebooted, reset, no change... 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for the update. Good to know the sleeve has proved useful.Greetings!

The expectation is that will come with future software update. Otherwise including the window is rather pointless (lost opportunity).
I want to be able to answer calls with sleeve on and see notifications appear in window
The sleeve sounds pretty nice. Any idea when such software updates are supposed to be released?
Apple hasn’t said anything about possible software updates for the sleeve. I am not expecting any update.
I have ordered the sleeve in red to go with my Baltic blue sleeve. I’ve also ordered a screen protector because I was talking g on my phone with my AirPods and walking around the house and dropped my phone. No damage to the phone but naturally it landed facedown on the hardwood floor and missed the area rug lol. I do love the MagSafe charger too. I don’t have to worry about the dogs hitting my nightstand and knocking my phone off my QI stand. I have to say I own a few different brands of QI stands and the 12 has been hit or miss with them working properly.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Probably put this into the "Stupid Question" department. But hey, since you have them in hand, I thought I'd ask anyway.
Will this fit into the sleeve if your iPhone isn't nekkid? Will be putting a relatively thin clear case on the back of my iPhone Mini. Just curious if you thought it might fit. Or is it far too snug a fit for this to be a possibility? Thanks!

As promised, here are the pictures of the Hardgraft "Wild" iPhone sleeve (https://www.hardgraft.com/collections/iphone). The one pictured is "Classic Leather" for a 12 Pro Max.
The color is off here as the sleeve is actually a darker brown than pictured here. Phone slides in easily, holds cards on both sides of the phone if desired. It has the ability to charge through the bottom if desired as it has a small opening on the bottom. Phone stays safely in case, but I wouldn't try to throw it out as I'm sure it would go flying out of here with enough effort. Sleeve is a little bigger than I would have hoped, but definitely an improvement over the the Apple one IMO which makes even the mini "big". Leather quality is nice and I feel like it will only get better over time. Best sleeve that I've found for an iPhone in a long time but it carries a high price with that as well. If you were considering the Apple option, I would definitely go with this if you are going to spend that much money.
Happy to help with questions.
