I do like the look of this case, the Nomad Rugged Leather folio


Only just seen this. After I went searching around that’s the exact one I came to and have just ordered it.

It sounds like it isn’t MagSafe compatible, but so far I’m not that impressed with MagSafe so don’t really care about that.

Shame Apple decided to not bother with folio again this year, oh well, this one was half the price..

Just ordered a Baltic Blue leather case for my 12.

79$ in Canada, not that bad considering the silicone cases are 69$...
 
Ordered a black leather case for my 12 Pro, should be here Wednesday if anything! Was going to grab a second color but decided to wait a bit before dropping another $60.

After an year of use it aged beautifully! Will be getting the same Graphite + Saddle Brown combo this year.
 
Yeah, no way I’m going MagSafe with a leather case. That ring is just embarrassing. I know there are a lot of people defending it, and for the life of me I can’t understand why. Normal patina is gorgeous. You know why? It’s not perfect. It’s unique. It has soul. A ring? It’s too perfect shape. It has no soul. It says “look, there are magnets”. I just don’t get it.

The “ring” doesn’t show. That picture isn’t a leather case. This is the leather case for the 12 Pro Max from Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro Max Leather Case with MagSafe - Saddle Brown

did it get grippy after it patina'd?
It did. Initially it was a bit slippery but with the initial shine goes away, it starts to get grippier. It could also be getting used to the form factor. Another plus I found in my experience about leather case is that it's more protective than the silicon case. It feels a bit studier and I dropped my phone pretty hard on the upper left corner and it survived.
