Excited to try an Apple leather case for the first time!

I have a purple 12 mini and I am so comically mad at Apple for not making that wisteria available to the 12 mini! It’s gorgeous.
 
Yes but I don’t want a single scratch on my iPhone 😂
After receiving the iPhone real OCD kicks in :(
I can’t laugh at you. When I got the iPhone X, which I kept only a month then went back to the 8 Plus, I didn’t just put a glass protector on the back. I put the whole thing into an Otterbox case. A fugly otterbox case. It felt like a rock.

Do you ever look back on something you’ve done and ask yourself not only “What was I thinking?” But “Who was that crazy person?” :rolleyes:

For what it’s worth, the light colored phones show through really well in clear cases. Dark colored phones, not so much because of how the light reflects so much off the case you see the case more than the phone. But with the light phone it’s not a problem.

So if you want to see your Sierra blue but not leave it unprotected, clear cases should work fine.

My gold 12 Pro Max is in the Casekoo clear case from Amazon. I can see the gold sides very well. The back is really clearly visible.

It’s what I’m getting for my Sierra blue 12 Pro (yeah okay you knew I was gonna come around. You called it!).

I used to swear by Caudable Lucid clear cases because I had them on the iPhone XR and 11 Pro and they were very protective and looked barely there (on light colors).

But when we got them last year for my 12 Pro and my daughter’s 12 Pro, there were fit problems on them and the replacements we were sent. It was a hard case to put on and take off and the defective one scratched my daughter’s phone.

Caudabe did give us codes for 50% off future purchase which I’m still using. Their customer service is good and their other cases have been great on Samsung and iPhone.

I may give their Lucid clear another chance someday because my kid did drop an iPhone XR down a flight of concrete steps and there was not a scratch on the phone!

edit: there were some weird formatting issues with my post. That first line was also from your quote.
 
UPS just dropped off my leather case. The Sequoia Green looks almost identical to my Midnight Green 11 Pro, which is my favorite iPhone color. The case is even slimmer than the Caudabe Sheath I'm currently using. I guess I'll have to be extra careful!
Any chance you can post a pic or two of the case? :)

As I've mentioned in an earlier post, I think the Midnight Green was the best color to ever grace an iPhone. Sequoia Green looks nearly identical to it.

I'm getting the Graphite 13 Pro to go with the case. ;)

Exactly what I am thinking...that Graphite/Green combo would look awesome.

So I got my Blue Jay 13 pro silicone case and I put my 12 Pro in it and oh man it fit but the button placement in the 13 Pro is way lower and the camera module is ginormous!!!

So for anyone wondering if they can use their current cases it’s a big NOPE sandwich!

My Series 4 Apple Watch is still running strong. If they redesigned the body this year, I may have been tempted to upgrade. However, for my use case (fitness tracking, notifications and time), I'll stick with the Series 4 for another year.
smart move, the series 6 is the same watch as last year, even has the same processor 🤦‍♂️

That color combo looks great. I am just a bit OCD about my cases and if memory serves me correctly, their silicone cases peel after a few weeks...

Think your new case just told your 12 pro, "do you even lift bro" 😳😂

Yeah I’ve heard that. I have had pretty good luck with all my  cases. I’ll use it for 10 days or so to see how I like the feel.

I usually get the leather cases but I wasn’t too keen on the colors this release.

I noticed that the silicon cases for the more rounded phones ex. iPhone 6-8 peeled more than the ones for the more squared off phones we have now. Especially since the only edges are facing up and the bottom isn't open like the previous cases.

This case is going to develop one sexy dark patina over time, can't wait till mine arrives 😍 that's if it not like last year garbage iPhone 12 leather cases 🤦‍♂️🥺
One of the reasons why I always wanted a leather case was for the patina. I can't wait to see how it will look a few months from now.
