Lol! I knew I was probably late posting this pic. My wife sent it to me and I hadn’t seen it so I posted it up. I can’t take credit for the pic.
Got a tip for us?

The camera cutout on the leather cases not being perfect is something that bugged me last year. I understand if third party cases are off, but OEM cases should be perfect. The saddle brown case I got for my iPhone 11 Pro is perfect, so I’m happy.
Your case aged nicely. Didn’t get too dark. Plus that vein going down the middle looks so nice. I hope mine turns out having some veins like that.
Looks great!
Curious... Did you buy that case from Apple? That's some serious gappage around the camera module.
That's crazy. I don't recall any of my X or XS cases having that and I'm pretty picky. My 11 Pro leather fits perfectly as well.
I've been through two Zagg cases, two Peel cases, an OtterBox Symmetry and am going to go back to the Apple black leather case. Just can't stand the feeling of the Zagg. The clear Peel gets extremely fingerprinty. The OtterBox is just a bit bulky. Ready to break in the black leather!
I’ve had the black leather case in my cart since launch day and I get to the point of pulling the trigger, but I’m already thinking of the regret I am going to have putting the time into my saddle brown case so far and then swapping to the black leather case. I like the thought of not worrying about developing a patina like I’m constantly chasing with the saddle brown case.
This is the longest I’ve gone with one case on my phone so far. I guess I’ll swing by an Apple store tomorrow and just get the black leather case.
Edit: Target has the black leather 11 pro case on sale for $39. So I just ordered it and I’ll pick it up in store tomorrow morning.

Let’s try this again. The black case definitely has a chemical smell compared to the saddle brown which still smells like leather. I hope Target isn’t susceptible to counterfeit Apple products as well.
Edit: After handling the case for about an hour the chemical smell has gone away and now the black leather case smells like leather.

I could see Amazon getting counterfeit but not Target, looks great!
Thanks! And that’s true about Target receiving official Apple products.
Here’s one more pic taken outside with the case on the phone. The picture was taken with my wife’s one plus 7 pro.

The better and the only combo I would say, that’s the bad of the midnight green, looks awesome without a case.
I picked up a Meyer Lemon leather case, because I love the shade of yellow it is. I just hope it gets an attractive patina to it.
Yep. I bought the Apple clear case to show off the Midnight Green color.
After a day I missed the leather too much and had to exchange it for another trusty saddle brown.
Last year I let it age naturally but this year I took a very fin grit sand paper and lightly went over the case with it. Then I rubbed some coconut oil on it. It looks great. I think the dark brown contrasts awesome with the green showing in the camera cutout.

Bought from the Apple store. I'll be honest I didn't really notice it until you guys pointed it out, so thanks for that
😂Now, that’s something you can’t unsee.Bought from the Apple store. I'll be honest I didn't really notice it until you guys pointed it out, so thanks for that
Oof... Sorry about that. Guess it's time to upgrade to a Pro!Bought from the Apple store. I'll be honest I didn't really notice it until you guys pointed it out, so thanks for that
Hard to beat the apple leather for fit and feel, fits like a glove and keeps the form factor of the phone, although i can only do black. This years 11 pro black/charcoal haha definitely has good grip, not slippery at all, feels closer to the Mujjo leather case if you have ever had one.
