The leather cases on the rounded edge phones (prior to 12) will always age better because of the curved edges. Square edged phones are going to see this kind of wear on leather. I also found the rounded edge phones more comfortable and better looking too.... i hope they bring that design back.

Couldn’t agree more with you! 11 pro was and still is my favorite iPhone to date. A more ergonomic design for sure.
 
Midnight leather case by Apple is the best!

Went and got a discounted Apple Leather Case from Best Buy.

The case doesn't have the waxy coating that I remember Apple Leather cases having - it's really dry. You just can't beat the fit of these things. With the BB discount, it was same price as a silicon case. We'll see how this thing ages.
 
i bought the deep purple case from apple because it was an offer i couldn't refuse. unfortunately it was not there for that price in black, which I still like better
 
Love the way the patina looks on this. All natural. No cleaning, no scrubbing like apple cases. Pure leather and pure patina from use.
You can’t ask for anything better than this.
Well except for not seeing the MagSafe magnets.
