Interesting, maybe whoever is using this wallet doesn't care properly for it. Just found this video of 3 months of regular use, looks much, much better..
Got a tip for us?

Looks hideous 🤮 looks like his gone to town on the edges with a black marker 🤦♂️
I’ve used mine for 4 months and looks nothing like that. It almost looks the same as when I first bought it.
What did this guy do to his?

Ran it over with a tank. Multiple times, by the looks of it 🤣
Yeah I don’t know wtf that guy did. Mines almost like new with subtle patina building. And I use mine daily 12 hours a day working outdoors.
Hi everyone,
I have had Baltic Blue on my 12PM for about a month now and there is some slight darkening, but not really anything. After looking at a few pages, I haven't really seen many pics of any Patina with the Baltic Blue case. How is everyone's holding up, how is it aging?

here are 3 different Apple blue leather cases...
Can you please take another photo in brighter lighting when you have a chance?My only complaint with the Decoded case was how quickly it darkens. It starts out quite dark and after about 4 months it’s almost black. Here’s my Decoded XR case after 4 month. It’s not a great photo I know but it shows how dark it gets. Other than that Decoded are great quality.
I wish I could. I sold that phone a few weeks back and the case went with it. I have a 12 mini now.
Just placed an order for Decoded as well, mainly because they offer free shipping. Bullstrap's shipping was a bit too high for me if i am only buying one case...
Here are my leather wallets. Had them since launch and use them interchangeably.
Definitely darker than their leather case counterpart.
You keep your cases and wallets in mint condition, not even a blemish to be seen anywhere. 🧐😂
That's what my baltic blue wallet and case look like, if not lighter.
so i did this with sandpaper and rubbed with coconut oil. left it in the sun for an hour after. now feels a bit fuzzy but recall my old iP X leather case was like that too after the same process. gosh i hope it eventually develops the same way as the X's leather case.

You trying to turn it into a silicone case? 🤔
Looks like there is no more leather left 😂
Hopefully you get the desired outcome.
Don’t get any ideas about doing your MacBook Air. 😳😂
For those of you still wondering, here is baltic blue after ~3 months of use. I no longer use it cause it looks very bad in the sun. I took care of it and never dropped the phone.

Yeah it looks bad, mine looks nothing like that and i've used it daily since November.
Train wreck is more like it, if mine ends up like that, ill be returning it to apple for a exchange or refund, not acceptable for that to happen to a $89 case.
