Is there really a big gap between the phone and the case? Or is that just the angle?
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 12 Apple leather cases?

That is correct. I put in my IPhone 11 Pro Max to give folks a little idea how much bigger (it's just taller.. maybe slimmer) the Iphone 12 Pro Max is.
Can't wait until my new phone arrives/pickup next week to fill those gaps
not my photo or case, but I saw someone on reddit post the California poppy color:

I got a Saddle Brown case for my 12 Pro, and a red leather case for my wife’s incoming 12 mini. Both were available for store pickup today at my local Apple Store.
I had my previous iPhone (an iPhone 6) for 6 years; during that time, I had two Apple leather cases. Each lasted 3 years, till the bottom edge started to flake at the corners of the bottom cutout.
So far, the new 12 Pro leather case is really nice. Good quality, leather all around, and metal buttons that feel as good as those on the phone itself. My old iPhone case just had bumps in the leather for buttons—this is much better.
I like how the case completely covers the bottom. It feels good, and softens up the edge (which is good if you use your pinky finger as a shelf). There’s a nice lip that should protect the screen. It feels fine to swipe up from the bottom edge to go home, though it’s not as easy a gesture as it was without a case. Shouldn’t be an issue though.
I used the phone without a case for the last 2 weeks. It was nice, and the body of the phone is easy to grip—but with that said, I am relieved to have my $1000 glass slab in a case.
Oh—and I didn’t notice any difference putting the case on, in terms of MagSafe. It felt like putting any other case on—it didn’t snap or anything. I don’t have any MagSafe accessories (though I am eyeing the wallet).
Even if I get the MagSafe charger, I have no concerns about the circles. These cases develop a patina and darken significantly. The ring might be visible initially, but as the rest of the case darkens over time, it eventually would be less and less visible.
Edit: if anyone is curious about the darkening, here is my 3-year old Saddle Brown case next to my new Saddle Brown case. You probably won’t see the ring in a year or two.

Do you guys think the ring from MagSafe use only applies to charging or to mounting situations too? Magnetic is by far my favorite way to mount in my car and I’ve used a third party accessory and slid a magnet between the phone and case for years. Think it’s just the magnetic compression on the case that causes it or is that combined with heat that comes from the charging process the reason?
For those who are interested, here is the 12 Pro Max leather Baltic Blue case alongside the deep navy silicone case.
I got mine at the apple store. They already have them in stock but were not on display.
I agree, I feel like the leather case for 12 pro is much thinner then previous years. Loving it so far!
Saddle brown and Baltic blue both look great
And the pro max case has a higher camera bump which rises above the leather surface. Not a fan of that

I purchased the saddle brown leather case for my mini. I also want the new leather sleeve when Apple gets their act together.
You have good taste, I got the same 2 cases yesterday for my pro max. 😂
Got the black leather case today.
This is how it should had been on release day!
Reminds me of the iPhone 5S leather case.
Fantastic fit and feels magnificent and premium.
Buttons are light years better than the crappy clear case.
Worth every penny.
