Day 1. Reminiscent of my 11 Pro Max forest green case in every way (in terms of quality, not color of course…it’s a bit lighter).

I just sadly took that beautiful Apple green leather case off of my iPhone 13 Pro. I love how it looks, but I've been using it since Friday and one corner of it is already black. Same thing happened to last year's blue leather case (this one was very black by the end of 6 months). Not dirt, just the color rubbing off.

I've loved every Apple leather case I've had until last year and this year. They just don't age at all. Really stinks. I hope it works out better for you, but I'll be taking mine back and hoping someone else makes a nice green leather case

That sucks. The same happened with my deep violet case last year—I only had that one for about 6 months. We shall see how it all plays out. For now, I’m optimistic…maybe a bit nostalgic also. 🤞🏾

I agree, if you want Nomad quality Horween leather check this one out. Full wrapped precise cutouts. I’m extremely surprised with how good this case looks $50 at Best Buy. I think I’ll be returning my golden brown apple leather case. For those looking for nice brown leather case with fully body protection and Nomad quality check this one out. You will not be disappointed.

Is the camera ring gold?

Well that doesn’t bode well that the quality is any better. Do you have a pic of what you are referring to? I am trying to picture just how bad it could be in less than a week.
 
For anybody considering/on the fence about Apple's Midnight leather case, I caught this angle of the light hitting mine just right to show how not-black it really is. Love this case.

Thanks. Cancelled order, hello black nomad, don't like that edge showing around the front either, too sticky/clammy in warm weather.

I was in the Apple store earlier today. I had to turn my flashlight on to see the blue. It’s there. Just very understated.

I have 13 Pro Max graphite with midnight leather. Idk what you all are seeing but it looks black to me!

Same! There’s the tiniest hint of blue but it really shows as almost true black for me across several lighting conditions.

How is the front? Does it show much of the stainless steel frame? Thinking of picking up the black one tomorrow.

Love the dark cherry color on my official case, but this looks to be a step up in some ways. Ordered and will decide before my return window is up. Thanks for posting!
 
I bought the Midnight leather a few weeks ago and love it on my Sierra Blue Max. I saw the Golden Brown online and hated it. Went into the Apple Store today and picked it up after seeing it in person. Maybe it’s the autumn vibes here in the Pacific Northwest but I’m loving it on my phone. The leather feels and smells great and it has a fun vibe I never thought I wanted. Glad to try something different. Have no plans to intentionally darken it.

Could you please share the wallpaper? It looks great
 
Does anyone’s iPhone 13 leather case have an off center lightning port cutout? I tried another leather case and same issue. Maybe it’s batches? I doubt it’s the physical phone.

I’ll try and get a picture but to give you an idea…you can see half of the left screw and none of the right when looking at the lightning port with case on.

It doesn’t appear to be a big deal with the stock charger cable, but I imagine it could be with other chargers.

It’s similar to the apple leather case, but the lip is slightly more raised therefore you don’t see the stainless frame as much I have the graphite 13pm so being that it is a dark frame mayen that helps can’t say the same for the silver models

The best part is that is Horween Leather so I’m sure no one will have to worry about costing or paints coming off like on apples. Im going to do a weekly update or as soon as I some patina coming through
 
Yes there is MagSafe
SOLD!

CANCELLED! Tested the case and it does not have the MagSafe metal in the case. My charger just around on it and didn't lock like on a MagSafe case.

Really nice case. 100% NOT MagSafe.
