Me too, was 50/50 on it, but a lot of debris does come in with the open bottom on my xs max leather case
Agreed, it makes the frequent swipe up gesture a little more awkward when there is a lip at the bottom, much better user experience with an open bottom. I’m surprised that Apple closed it in.
Wish they would actually show at least the colors so I could decide before I'm groggily ordering as fast as possible early in the morning on Friday. Brown and black were a given. A new blue to complement the Pacific Blue would be nice. Hopefully there are more leaks before Friday. I ordered a thin clear case from Totalee and I'm curious to see how it looks because it's so thin. I don't normally buy cases that thin (it is a little thicker than their really thin opaque cases) but the durability of the iPhone 12 Pro has me thinking it won't be an issue. I'll go careless once they strengthen the back glass some more and maybe make it not so expensive to replace.
If I don't like the Totalee case I'll get one of these if they aren't too expensive. I like that the bottom is finally covered.

I’ve been playing a dangerous game going case-less with my iPhone 12 Pro waiting for these leather cases to be released!
Should be available for store pickup on Friday.
So glad for the full bottom tho. X, XS, and 11 Pro all got really scratched and dented there.

Finally, the return of the lip! I’ve always loved the feel of the Apple leather cases, but hated that it never fully covered the phone since the iP6 smh Got a Nomad leather case for 12 Pro in case Apple continued this design, but now excited to get my hands on the black one!

I don't see that happening... the silicone ones went up $10 this year to $49 (due to the magnets?) I hope the leather ones only go up $10 too. I guess we will find out in a few days.
I bought the clear MagSafe case so I could see the gorgeous gold color of my 12 Pro but damn it this thing is just as slippery in the hand as the stainless steel gold by itself. Wish it had ‘grippier’ sides.
I'm seeing a hole for the lighting port and speakers. The leather case for my 11pro has that area completely open on the bottom, which I prefer. I also like the rounded edges for practical purposes, though the square edge does look snazzy.
Coach has a version where the lip doesn't go around the bottom. I have one and honestly prefer apple's version so I'll be getting this when it drops.
Same. When my 6S Plus’ screen finally broke guess where it landed. After 6 years it took landing on the bottom to destroy it. I’m super glad they closed it up.
Perhaps - I could easily be mixing up brand names.Copenhagen, you mean?
I never partook and it's been a very long time since I've known anyone who did.
Does anyone know what material the ring on the inside of the case is made of? It almost looks like a sticker that can be peeled of.
While I'm a long-time Apple fan, I am increasingly baffled by some of their concept implementations. I used to believe that it was because of their conservative nature, ensuring a more refined approach. Be it an aging 60Hz device or late to the game OLED. Perhaps it's a marketing strategy to entice consumers to upgrade more often.
