For my earlier phone, (6S plus), I had the black apple leather case. Absolutely loved yet, and it aged great. BUT, I have been having a not-so-fun time concluding on a leather case for my iPhone 12 pro. Leather to me, means PREMIUM and CLASS. Not sure any of the offerings really wow me. (I don't care about MagSafe). Just want get some thoughts on the same.

Burkley - The case that I have. Leather quality is great. But, it is not a slim profile case. It also add more weight to the already heavy iPhone 12 pro.
Bullstrap - I had a bad Customer service experience. I was sent a mini case instead of Pro. Still the case didn't wow me. But, there are many fans for this company here.
Apple - Very nice design. But, the story about the leather quality is all over.
Sena - Doesn't look classy. Especially, the look of the buttons.
Woolnut - Looks the best to me. Sold in the US only through amazon. But, no first hand info.
Vaja - Haven't tried. But, I think I'll be left with the same like Burkley.
Nomad rugged - Don't like the TPU sides.
Story leather - No idea

Anything else?
 
Have you put hands on a black Apple leather case? I traded in a saddle brown because I was really not happy with how it felt. I already had two silicone cases so I just opted for the black leather and to me, it’s a great feeling leather case. Even has more of a leather smell than the SB did. I’ve read the same coming from others as well.

No. I have been staying away because of the reports here about the leather this year. How would the black leather compare to the earlier black Apple cases?

Haha. But, I am really waiting to see the pictures of that one, plus some impressions. It does look unique. Their wood cases are interesting too!

I found this, but gives a fair idea

Still love my bullstrap leather case simply because it smells good, feels good and doesn’t have a stupid plastic surround around the camera.

That Lucrin leather MagSafe case in Navy Blue looks good. And, it looks like you can order without a logo (for an additional price). Looks very tempting. Does anyone have one?

Very nice case. But the problem is that it comes from Turkey. If it gets lost in shipping or sent to the wrong address or whatever, you're pretty much screwed. And what if you don't like it and you want to send it back? Any guarantees that it will actually get there, if you can afford the shipping, that is. I'm sure it's a wonderful case, but for my money, it needs to ship from the good ole US of A and have a return policy that's bulletproof.
 
Cross posting..

I know a couple of folks here have the Burkley/Blackbrook Conner 12 Pro case. Can you guys pls post pictures and update how it works out? It looks very good, with no metal button attachments and covered bottom. Just that I won't use the card slot. Want to see if the slots add any bulk. Thanks!!

Leaning more and more towards grams28. But, surprisingly, there are not many review.

The blue case turns black after a while though, bare than in mind.

One resin why I got the black and return the blue leather case. I have a xs max blue case that’s 2.5 yrs old now I think and it’s black on the sides and top area. Areas your hand typically touches.
