Holy crap, $130 for that? I have to admire Apple for so shamelessly pushing the price boundaries of what they think Apple customers are willing to spend.
”Specially tanned and finished European leather that develops a patina over time.” Maybe somebody could explain exactly what European leather is and how it’s any different than leather from anywhere else.
So, an overpriced leather sleeve that isn’t durable enough to maintain its look over time and wears out quickly. And that’s a feature? Does anybody want a patina on their phone case? A 100 year-old family heirloom gold or silver necklace would look nice with a patina, not an iPhone case.
Reminds me of Apple’s silicone case that I bought for my iPad Pro 9.7, where the raised buttons would wear flat very quickly (making locating the volume and power buttons by touch difficult), and after the second case wore out in just a few months I just stopping using them. Maybe that was a patina-feature too.
