I am assuming that 4 of the colours will be the same as the MagSafe Leather Wallet plus a couple of other colours.
Got a tip for us?

First Hands-On With iPhone 12 MagSafe Leather Cases Shared Online

Agreed; it's such a non-issue, not sure why it's become an issue...
Are these leather cases the ones Apple specifically warned could pick up marks from magnetic contact pressure from the charger?
Versus €18 (guessing) for a cheap, faux leather knock-off that doesn't age like real leather? I still fondly remember my Nomad case from several iPhones ago that gave up the ghost after serving faithfully for a few years that changed appearance over time as it was used and abused.
...the leather is only slippery the first week or so but after that, once it starts to absorb the natural oils from your hands, it becomes super grippy.
Wonder how long 'til it looks like you've been carrying around a tin of Redman?
For people who hold their phone with their pinky under the bottom of the phone, the bottom lip definitely gets in the way of your thumb doing the “swipe up” gesture.
The “swipe down” for Notification Center / Control Center are not affected by the lip because you’re swiping from the top edge of the screen downwards with no case to get in the way.
I’ve owned the X, XS, and 11 Pro with Apple Leather cases. I used my SO’s 12 with the Apple silicon case for 20 minutes and came to the conclusion that the bottom lip would drive me insane.

Not 100% sure they all are MagSafe-safe.
I also prefer a cutout for swiping.
I've run into many plugs than simply don't fit, e.g. on music docks, public charging stations, borrowed cables.
So you have to take the phone out, which is annoying (and obviously doesn't protect at all).
Hard to tell how big the cutouts are here, though.
Sir no one is forcing anyone to buy anything from Apple
How is Apple all about being environmentally friendly and sells real leather products?! That's ridiculous 🤦
yep how selling animal leather products fit with all of Apple talk about being environmentally friendly... 🙄🤯🤦
This is exactly why I preferred the Apple cases in the past; easiness of connection to docks and other cables.
Also, the speakers are not confined to those.
My experience with Silicon is that they age very quickly and they attract a lot of lint.
The leather ones, also age quickly; and with that Pacific Blue, I just want a clear case. I guess I'll go for a cheap Spigen
Last week or so, I purchased a URBN ARMY GEAR case. But, I usual use an Apple leather case, too.
So, I will have to purchase one of these, too.

I'm puzzled about this and can't go to a store in person to check the Apple silicone cases, which have the same design (stores are closed here).
I went with an Otterbox case until the Apple leather cases become available, and the Otterbox designs don't have a lip around the cameras.
Do the Apple cases lie flat or is there a wobble?
(In case anyone wonders: the otterbox case is fine as a case, but I don't care for its texture and the buttons aren't great.)

I agree 100%. In addition to that it helped me know the correct way to hold my XS. Now when I take my 12 Pro out of my pocket its upside down 1/2 the time. I may modify my leather case somehow when I get it.
Earlier this year, my XS hit the ground at the exact angle where the bezel ends and the screen starts on the bottom lip, uncovered by the leather case. No cracks, but it caused about 1/4 of my screen to die, which warranted a full display replacement ($$$) in Apple’s eyes—although several people I spoke to diagnosed it as most likely being a dislodged display connector and nothing more. (I never went through with the repair on account of stubbornness.)
This long-winded story is to say that I rejoiced when I saw that the leather cases cover the bottom lip this year.
Not sure I follow... Cattle farming volume is driven by meat consumption not leather usage. So why not use the hides which would otherwise be wasted? Effectively a renewable resource, in contrast to the non-renewable petroleum needed for faux leather.
Tanning can also be eco-friendly - not sure if Apple requires suppliers use those processes or not, so I wouldn't make an assumption there.

What Is Eco Friendly Leather?
Have you heard about eco friendly leather? What exactly is it and how is it made? Firstly, can leather be eco-friendly? YES! Leather can be…
Unfortunately, vegans have such terrible skin that its hard to get enough quality hide from them.
...Did you want them to only replace 1/4 of the screen?
