It’s definitely a different feel/look on the Max.

Yup plenty of stock. My partner picked up Saddle Brown and Baltic Blue for me in our local store and they even applied the perks discount. Cancelled my online order.
You guys are lucky! My local Apple store is closed since this spring because of COVID. It briefly reopened around iPhone 12 launch but closed again.
 
In a good or bad way?
It’s just a different grip. On the mini the whole wallet just fits in the palm of the hand because of the way I hold the phone. On the Max I have to rest my fingers on the side of the wallet. But it helps make the larger phone feel more grip-able.

The blue wallet looks great with the graphite Max. Can’t wait to see what new wallet color Apple is going to release with Spring case collection.

Had a window of Dec 14-21 for online, last night saw Lansing MI had wallets and mini homepods. One of each came home with me this morning.

I have ordered the saddle brown... but I don’t know how it will age...maybe the patina on the wallet it’s not like the case.. i think I will change it to the black

Mine finally arrived the other day - really impressed with it if I'm honest!

The wallet feels and looks much smaller in real life in my opinion and fits against my iPhone 12 leather case superbly. I can get 3 cards comfortably in my wallet ( 2 bank cards and a driver's license) which is all I need.

All in all, a great purchase.

😀

Yes I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max and I love how the wallet makes it easier to hold. I'm going caseless now because of the wallet and I love it.

I have the Apple wallet in black and it looks great against the Pacific blue iPhone. I can fit 3 cards in it and they push up easily. So far my wallet has popped off twice on the iPhone but most of the time I'm careful how I pull it out of my pocket.

You’re a brave soul going caseless with the Max! 😬

I haven’t yet had any issue with the wallet coming off. Especially with the leather case there seems to be some extra stickiness. I have two cards, my ID and a cash bill folded in there.

So I picked one of these up yesterday. First impression is that it’s very difficult to push cards out, especially when you have 3 of them, especially when one of them is an Apple Card. But it seems to be getting slightly looser and easier to push them out as time goes on. I’ll try it for a few more days to decide if I’m going to return or not.

As far as how strong the magnetic connection is, that’s not as big of an issue some people made it out to be. Especially with a MagSafe case.

I had trouble at first pushing them out, but it got better over a couple of days. Now I have no issues pushing them out.

Yeah that’s what I imagine, the tight fit will naturally make it more loose. Which I really hope so, if I can carry a credit card and my license, but not my insurance card, I’ll have to carry my regular wallet and the MagSafe wallet would be redundant
 
There is probably an aesthetic reason for this, but I wish they would have put a thumb hole on the outside of the case. I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal to “remove” the case to eject a card... but after using it this past weekend, I found it awkward to fumble with at the register. It actually does not slide off very easily. And then once it’s off, I’m left holding 2 objects and pulling out both of the cards in the wallet because they both come out... a bit of a mess.

Most of the time I break the magnetic hold while in pocket or bag.
