After taking a closer look at I would say it’s more of bronze color

I'll report back when FedEx delivers my phone today. Have to pick up the Platinum case from BB and return the midnight case as well. I've had black leather on my 11Pro for 2 years and really wanted a change.
Nice combo. This reminds me of the few months when I had the gold 11ProMax with the forest green leather case a couple of years ago but even better because you can see the gold come through the edges of the screen. Although, after seeing the new Sequoia green I still prefer the darker tone of the Forest Green.
AT&T has the IPhone 13 Pro Max Apple Leather case for $41.65 if anyone is still interested. Its ONLY in Midnight it appears, but seems like a decent deal considering it was just released.
There is a very good open source photo site called unsplash.com. I recommend it. I found this one by searching autumn.
I was looking at the Best Buy site and they don’t mention it’s MagSafe compatible. Do you mean it allows wireless charging or specifically has MagSafe compatibility?
Update on my 4 month decoded case after it took an hard beat 3 months ago.
All minor scufs are mostly healed and the bigger ones transformed into scars that add character to it, imo.
Photos don't do justice to the nice kind of bourbon patina it developed, is looks lighter irl.
I used leather balm 2/3 times a month and shoe sponge once a week, which I just did before taking the photos making it a shade darker too.

This definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I tried a little something with my iPhone 13 Pro Nomad case (Rustic Brown color). Took an alcohol wipe and vigorously rubbed off what I presume to be the color/dye off the Horween leather. The result is (to me) a nicely aged, raw-looking and lighter color. I also swapped out my original Graphite iPhone for a Sierra Blue which I think looks superb with this new leather color.

UPDATE!
The Platinum Leather Best Buy case DOES NOT have MagSafe.
I confirmed this in person with my MagSafe charger. ZERO magnetism with the case. The box says it's compatible, but doesn't say MagSafe... so I was correct to be worried about the vague online description.
Sucks, because it's a really nice case otherwise. I cancelled my order
Folks I hit the jackpot! I have two midnight MagSafe leather cases and check out the huge difference in the grain. It’s the best one I’ve come across! It look amazing IMO and has a ton more grip than any other MagSafe leather case. And the smell is just like a new leather shoe 😂.
I’m very excited to see how this one is going to age compared to my 12PM leather MagSafe case.

The leather cases this year are definitely made of better quality leather. Both my sequoia green and dark cherry smell and feel like real good quality leather.
That looks really nice. My Nomad case arrives on Monday. I may do the same thing.
Definitely keep us updated with pictures. That looks like it should age interesting
I love the midnight. Deep dark navy. It’s super classy with the Sierra. Mine has never looked as blue as your shot. Shows how certain lighting and angles can show differences. Most of the time mine looks either black or very dark navy.
