No apple leather cases at all for xr or 11, it's their budget phone, try nomad my wife has the xr rugged folio in brown looks great.
It's not available, just how like with the Xr there weren't any leather cases either. Thats now seen as a premium option only available for the premium phones. Even though the 11 did gain Silicone cases, they're only basic black and white colours (so in other words, if you want an Apple case anything more substantial than a black/white Silicone Case, you need to have the premium 11 Pro/Max).

Ah so disappointing.
Will have a look at the Nomad. Thanks guys.
I'm really after a replica of the apple one, it was perfect for me, robust and super thin. I want one just to use a couple of cards in- no bulk!
I want it to be my wallet but not look like a wallet!

If its any consolation, the Apples Leather Folio Case for the 11 Pro has seen a steep price increase (from the X/Xs Folio) on what was already an expensive product...and then now theres only 2 colours, when the X/Xs had about 8 each.
I had one for my new 11 Pro, but then returned it when I saw it was the exact same and the cost increase just wasn't justifiable in my opinion

Torro makes a nice folio case for the 11, genuine leather and it wakes/puts to sleep like the Apple folio case.

I have an 11 Pro and miss my old folio that I had on my X. This case from my Torro looks good. However I am a bit nervous that the cads might scratch the screen.
On the Apple folio, the cards are in a separate compartment.
By the way OP, you may also want to check out the Mujjo leather wallet. I bought it and the quality is very nice. My only problem with it, is that putting 3 cards in it is probably pushing it too much, and I need it to hold 3 to really replace my wallet. I know it is not a folio, but still a decent choice if you ask me.

I've been pretty happy with my "shieldon" leather wallet case for my 11pro, loved it on my XsMax and Xr as well.
For a $30 Amazon case it is pretty great.

I've been considering these as well. I am still unsure if the cards will scratch the screen, or is a plastic card simply to soft to scratch it?
On the Apple folio, the cards are completely covered in leather, but I am not paying what they are charging for them now.
For some reason I thought the Torro had the sleep/wake function but it doesn't! 🙁
I like the Nomad best so far- even thought its not ideal- its still a little bulky and it doesn't close great.
May have to move away from the classic folio/wallet style. Might look at the bellroy

That will improve with use, my wife has one for Xr and it closes, they are bigger than apples though.
