It’s the black leather Nomad slim strap. It’s funny how I can leave that leather gold alone; I’ve been using it for about a year now and cannot for the life of me leave the case on the phone.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 12 Apple leather cases?

Honestly, in my opinion it will. I’m using a 5-watt charger just to try to keep my battery health as high as possible. But in two days (I just got it), I dropped from 104% to about 101% using my 5-watt charger, and I only got down to about 50% battery life. I doubt that drop had to do with anything besides the battery itself. So my point is I do believe MagSafe and fast charge will negatively impact battery health, just not that fast. And from what I have been able to gather, some batteries you can use a damn car jump-starter to charge it and they’ll be fine. But overall, it seems that slower is better. Not to mention wired is better than wireless.
Variances above 100% are minimal and often related to the way measurement is done. The same way they will go down, values will also go up. I don't think much importance should be given to these.
Personally I avoid the MagSafe because of the marks it leaves on cases and even on the phone itself. That is unacceptable for the price we pay for these things.

I would love the black one, sadly its out of stock and I need a case now since I have 14 days to return the Apple leather case and I'm on my 12th day. They have the brown case in stock but not sure if I want brown tbh, prefer black.
Did you use any special leather cleaners to make it age well?She won't let me get brown, doesn't want to be matchy
whats the best charger for the 12 Pro Max? I am currently using my old 11 Pro Max charger to charge the 12 Pro Max, but I think it will be slower since the 11 Pro Max adapter is 18w I think....?
I don't usually need fast charging on my 12 Pro so basically for me, any Apple or MFi certified charger will do.
Else, in case I do need fast charging, I'll use the 20W Apple charger.
It depends! But to keep the off-topic short: I have different chargers depending on the situation: a standard Apple charger with a lightning cable on my bedside table, a lightning cable plugged into my Mac on my desk, a Anker USB four-port charger when I travel. When I say "any charger will do as long as it's MFi", I mean it. Anker or Aukey are reliable brands if you're looking for third-party.

Haven't seen this mentioned prior and I didn't even notice it immediately. Was taking some shots of my leather case and noticed the buttons have chamfered edges. I love this attention to detail for which only Apple seem to care. Never seen this on any other case.

No, the chargers I have collected over the years work just fine. Besides, I would say a charger leaving a mark on a case hardly qualifies as an issue much less a "gate".
For $200AUD for a Apple leather case/magsafe charger/20w charger, i didn't want a white ring burnt into my case.
Common courtesy I suppose. Something to do while the medication commercials run is a benefit too.

Anybody who has the Nomad rugged case, do you find the buttons hard press? I just received mine and the buttons are hard to press....not sure if I have a faulty case.
Are the buttons hard to press with the case? I find them very hard especially compared to the official Apple leather case....?
I wouldn’t say they’re hard to press, but they certainly are mushy. The buttons on the Apple leather case feel so much better. Leather on the Nomad is better though, both cases have their pros and cons.
Not really hard, but i did the razor blade mod on the volume buttons, not the power button though it was ok.
