I want to get a saddle brown case for my 12 PM but it looks somewhat bright out of the box. Do you guys think it will get darker as previous cases did?
I’m asking because since the design now features sharper edges it will probably show an uneven wear unlike say a brown leather case for the 11 Pro and prior.

I bought the leather wallet case from Mujjo for the iPhone 11 pro, I previously had a case from Mujjo but it feels very good in terms of build quality. The iphone feels very protected and the leather is made of high quality, you can already smell that it is real leather and that the case is almost completely made of it. I chose the black version because I love that the case keeps looking like new
My black leather case for the 12 Pro is out for delivery! Very excited to have an Apple branded leather case after having a XR for the last 2 years. After seeing a lot of pictures in this thread, I think I will also eventually like to grab the saddle brown case as well. I'm a fan of how it ages over time.
Yep, leather will always get darker over time. And uneven wear is part of the charm.
I’m guessing that the sides may not patina as much as in past years, but you probably won’t notice. The back is still flat, so it will likely weather nicely.
A couple of Original Apple black leather iPhone 12 / Pro case for sale as new on Amazon UK for £35 if you are quick! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08L5NSFCX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_.6CQFbHNN13DP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Just shipped the old dog back to the farm. Slightly under 5 months’ patina.

Went with the red for my first leather case experience! Matches perfectly with the graphite 12 pro.
Aww hell. I may have to exchange my saddle brown for the red. The red leather case was the one I used the longest on my 11 pro. It aged nicely.
Really beautiful!!! Product red leather case when in new is always a red diamond!!
For those interested, this is my 11 Pro Blue case after ~1 year next to the 12 Pro Blue.
I think the 11 Pro was originally a darker shade of blue compared to the 12 Blue.

I had a Red Apple leather case on the 8 Plus and a Crimson Red Bullstrap on my XR. Both while not my fill time case, aged very well. Really want to get a Red case after my black one starts to wear in.
For the 12PM cases. Saddle leather / Plum Silicone. Measurement in Grams.

I know the 12 mini leather case is about 22 grams, the 12/12 Pro silicone case is about 29 grams
In my example, I'm comparing a 12 mini leather to a 12 (regular) silicone case. I haven't weighed a 12 mini silicone or a 12 (regular/Pro) leather but I think the leather cases are lighter in general than the silicone cases.
This years' leather cases appear to be much thinner than silicone ones and last years' leather. Less material, less weight.
2020 leather cases barely add bulk to the phone - it doesn't feel like much leather though which makes it less premium to some users. I'm happy with it.
I have heard that the leather is thinner every year than the year before, is there any leather left? Lol
Tbh, that's exactly how it feels when you take it in your hand without your phone.
Don't think thickness of the leather layer is more than 1mm.
Definitely a lot thinner than previous cases - and that's including magnets within the case!
