I love this but I wish they’d close the bottom. I didn’t like the micro scratches my 12 pm sustained when I used open bottom cases.
I totally agree, especially with my space black 14PM. Although the crazy part is apple had open bottoms since the iPhone 6 upon 12 series and I never had any issue I still get paranoid at times lol

I know what you mean. The open bottom in the old cases made me worry like crazy. Always had wished they were closed and when Apple did I thought..”now they’re perfect!” If apple still had the bottom open then I’d just get whatever lol
 
Not sure how I feel about it....I will hold judgement until there are more pictures. To be honest, after using the Apple leather for a few days now not sure I can go back to my BS or any of my others. I just like the fit and how thin it is on the phone too much.
I’m right there with you. My hubby used BS on his 12 pm and I can’t convince him to go back.. the fit is perfect. So is the 360 protection
 
Thinking of picking up an Apple dark Cherry case for my 13 mini. So far, this a couple of months of on and off use with my Nomad rugged case.

Polling the audience here. I love my midnight leather but the ink color is really appealing to me more and more. Should I get it too? Or is it too close to midnight? Also spring colors may be coming… still can’t find any rumors on any releases however. Sooo should I just get the ink now or wait it out and see what happens??

I think if you're going to be looking at it outdoors and in good lighting often, yeah its different enough.

if you mostly live in a man cave or are a vampire of sorts, and don't admire the details of things like looking at the case and flipping the device over to caress its patina'd buttox, dont. cause at a glance not that different

I turn my case around a lot and am outdoors plenty :) I love them both they both look good IMO- thank you for posting that image. I still may wait a bit for spring.. then I can get ink at that time if nothing else comes out. I’m enjoying my midnight for sure. I really love the  leather cases

It’s definitely a noticeable difference. I have both midnight and ink cases. The ink looks crazy awesome in direct sunlight. I think it’s worth it IMO. I hope we get more choices come spring time!

Hi guys. I am currently using a Midnight leather case for the 13 pro and have a golden brown one on the way. I am planning to force a patina on it using alcohol wipes. Im just curious- would almond oil after using wipes to remove the coat help with the texture or the patina of the case?
 
I’m going to TRY very hard to be patient 😂 I am really loving the color!



today only $47.99 and $41.99 open box from BB

not too shabby

(and all other colors they have available - Orange, Midnight, Umber, Green)

edit- looks like Amazon price matched algorithmyically

Do want Orange but from what I have seen, they look like crap after a few weeks.
 
Went ahead and grabbed from the Best Buy sale:

iPhone 14 Pro Max Leather Case Midnight (Open Box Excellent) - $29.99
iPhone Leather Wallet Midnight (Open Box Excellent) - $27.99

2 for 1 basically at normal prices 👍

I’m guessing the vote is for me to pull the trigger 😂
I say do it. I have the midnight, umber and ink and the ink is my favorite. I even got the ink wallet to go with it lol. I also have 3 different bullstraps, Ryan London and an Andar Aspen. But that ink leather is just so clean and sexy 😍
