This is the definition of a perfect and beautiful patina! 😍
How is it with the opening at the below point of the phone ? Is it open or exposes only the charging / speakers ?
It is fully open - similar to the Apple leather case for iPhone 11 and before.
Thanks for the update ! Do you know any good leather cases with full cover as apple original 12 Pm cases and strong Mag safe wallet magnets ? I dont want to risk scratching the bezel for the sake of patina.
I’d stay away from Grams28. I ordered one at the same time as the Decoded leather and the Decoded was better in every aspect.
If you’re against Apple’s leather this is the best you can do.
My iPhone 12 Pro Max leather cases collection:
- Nomad Brown Magsafe (Horween Leather)
- Mujjo Tan Non Magsafe (Full Grain Vegetable Tanned Leather)
- Apple Saddle Brown Magsafe (Genuine Leather)
- Casetify Latte Non Magsafe (Luxe Leather/ Eco-Friendly)
I’m also waiting for Decoded Brown Magsafe case. I once used the non magsafe one, now waiting for the magsafe one.

Which one is your favorite? From the pictures it looks like Mujjo and Casetify haven’t been used that much.
Its debatable. I still prefer using apple leather case. Anyway i was using apple leather case saddle brown when i took the picture (i have 3 saddle brown apple leather cases).
Apple case will always be the best for me. The fit, bottom cover and the cutouts, the leather, and how it patina. It will always takes time and babycare your case to get the best natural patina.
Weird. Opposite experience. I was actually coming here to post a shoutout to Alexis at Bullstrap. I had an issue w a case….didn’t initiate a return/warranty email until over a week or two after the “issue.” She got it resolved - with a new case shipped to Europe - within 24 hours of my email.
My favorite leather case by far, on quality alone. Customer service is a plus too.
Hey guys..just registered after a couple of months reading trough the thread…
I want to show you my collection for my 12 mini…
Apple saddle brown just after the coating removing and now… the only concern are the sides of the buttons which are impossible to wear…

Then I’ll go to show my decoded ones…
I have to say that the leather is completely different between each other… the blue is much more softer and brilliant while the black is more rough… Both have 1 or 2 week of usage…

How it’s the feel of the case?? couple months ago I decide to force my patina, but even when I make the processes with delicacy it feels horrible in my hands and it doesn’t feel smooth any more. Currently I’m using Bullstrap and is awesome.
Hey..the feeling is great, like for the Bullstrap cases, Apple leather without the coating is soft and as you can see develops a great patina with time..
