Code "BRAZI" got me a $10 discount. Odd that the max version costs so much more, with that code I got the 12 version for $59.Beautiful.

I was just about to switch to my red leather case for my se2. I’ve only used it for about 2 weeks total.My mother red leather case iphone 8 plusit is my previous previous iphone, I think I bought this case in 2018 and I used it not regularly until I left the phone to my mother in January 2019 ☺️
Yeah, I feel the same way. I got my black leather case last November when I bought the 12 Pro Max. And that leather just felt very plasticy. After that I got the Baltic blue this April and it felt more like leather now.I dunno if this is the right thread but I cannot believe this!
the left is my gf's Baltic Blue the right is mine both iPhone 12 / pro size.
Hers is grainy, seems like they much improved the quality from when I got mine the day they came out last year that just feels like a layer of paint over top of the leather and no grain.
My black leather case looks and feels like her baltic blue, and thought this grain was exclusive to the black but apparently not, so hopefully they improved it in general to the point where the saddle brown case is good too and patina's well rather just looking like paint scratched off cause I know people were disappointed in that and the way it wore.
its not even the same looking hue of color

Some time ago I promised update, and well, after 8 months it doesn't look that bad, I have to say...View attachment 1802810
I had to survive through the moment it looked "dirty", it was couple of weeks, and then the leather started to darken and age well. In general, I have to say, it was not a quick process, but now I am happy with the results. The only product I did use was the saddle soap, to keep it clean.
Hard to say tbh, the aging took way longer than I remember from my iPhone X, the touch of the leather is different, and the patina was appearing in a strange manner. It could be because of the shape of the series 12, but I do not think it was completely natural for leather. If it's just the paint that is completely worn off, or a deep treatment/protective coating of leather, I cannot say.That definitely looks amazing. Looks like the "layer of paint" talk about these cases was complete impatient BS.
Alcohol wipes should do the trick, but be warned. It’s going to look pretty bad at first and may take a few months for it to even out. I friend of mine used Meguiar’s leather cleaning wipes and it looked really good.Newbie here. Just got a Mini and order the Apple SB case. What is the most beginner friendly way to remove coating from the case? I see alcohol, Obenauf’s Cleanit, magic eraser, sandpaper, etc. and I'm a little afraid I would be ruining a $50 case with sandpaper vs alcohol wipes. I don't need it to show patina immediately, but I'm sure my hand oil/sweat will not penetrate through a layer of protecting coating until it's worn off. Thanks all!
I figured that. To be more clear I meant no visible logo if it’s a third party case.Cases that are leather with apple logos are predominately if not only with apple. Licensing issues and such of course
Decoded cases have a very minimal logo and the quality is fantastic.I figured that. To be more clear I meant no visible logo if it’s a third party case.
With the amount of whining we have ‘round these parts, this was a breath of fresh air. Thanks for sharing.Three weeks of usage of Saddle Brown case combine with Decoded Magsafe Wallet.
Some may say it looks ugly, but i call it unique. It is my own story and the case.
