Third from the left on the bottom row for me. I ordered the black wallet and will be getting the green silicone case unless the leather 12 Pro Max cases end up looking a lot better.
 
I really don’t like any of them for some reason. Black on black seems the least worst...

Exactly - is the new fashion to mix and match colours, even colours close to each other, but not quite to clash as much as possible? That's what I'm getting from this. It all looks pinky orange to me :)

Hey, it's all OK - but I'm just curious. Maybe random clashing 70's colours is the new style :). It probably is. "Tacky". Tack-o is IN.

And for all these bright colours - nobody really can complain too much I guess.

Did you ever see the guys buying camoflauge Swiss army knives and camouflage wallets and flashlights and camouflage Mont Blanc pens? Drop those at your next picnic or camping trip and they are gone! I always wondered about the excessive camouflage too :). Further to that, why is Apple ignoring the camouflage loving Cabella's loving crowd? All these colours are fine for girls, but what about guys who in fact DO want camouflage - they should have it too right? :).

The combination of white and navy wallet looks best!


I'd like to go with an orangey weathered computer beige - like the Mac 128 or any 1980's beige computer plastic hardware. That nicotine yellowed look would be really cool on a brand new iPhone in 2020. Retro Futuristic. Fun stuff.

I think all these colours will grow on me. It's cheerful!
 
To me, it seems like if the phone was tipped upside down, the cards/id would just easily fall out. Especially if you just had 1 card in that slot. Thoughts?

They won't if Apple made it, is my guess. Look how their telescoping cardboard boxes function. The entire world started copying those vacuum fitting slidey hard cardboard boxes.
 
Do you have to remove the wallet to charge it? Or can it charge through the wallet (and your credit cards)?
Charging through a plastic card might be possible if the distance between the phone and the charger is not too great. The card’s magnetic strip would probably interfere.

Apple Card, if I remember correctly, is made of titanium so that would certainly interfere with the charging. Aren’t there some cards made of aluminum? Those would certainly interfere with charging.

I’m pretty sure the wallet is too thick to charge through regardless of material.

Plus the wallet is shielded to protect your card from the magnets, so that would probably interfere with charging regardless of thickness.

An unapologetic iPhone 12C nicotine beige mac edition!!
 
Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t understand the wallet idea. If you use Apple Pay on your phone are t credit cards or other nfc cards likely to interfere?
 
This seems appropriate:

The tyranny of choice

In one episode of “The Simpsons”, Marge takes Apu shopping in a new supermarket, Monstromart, whose cheery advertising slogan is “where shopping is a baffling ordeal”. “How is it”, muses Ms Salecl, “that in the developed world this increase in choice, through which we can supposedly customise our lives and make them perfect leads not to more satisfaction but rather to greater anxiety, and greater feelings of inadequacy and guilt?”
 
Nice work! Which one did you decide to go with though?
Thanks. I have not ordered any yet. Picking up the phone on Friday at the Covent Garden store.
I’m torn between Cyprus Green with California Poppy, Plum with Baltic Blue or Deep Navy with Saddle Brown.

I am torn between the last two (plum and blue, navy and brown)

Let me know what you end up going with. I am planning on getting mine in a week or so and keep going back and forth
