They mentioned a leather case and a leather folio for the 12. Nothing for the Pro or Pro Max. Although it’s hard to believe they would release leather cases for the 12 and not for the higher end Pro models.
There will be leather cases and sleeves for the Pro.

It's scary that MagSafe Duo doesn't even have an announcement date, given they've disclosed November for some other hardware and accessories. I've held off on buying a nightstand worthy wireless iPhone + Apple Watch combo pad, and may just cave into getting another solution since I was hoping for one in September, and am not confident we'll have MagSafe Duo until beyond then.
 
I wouldn't have been 100% surprised to hear that they were abandoning real leather due to environmental concerns, but it appears that is not the case

Even if they aren't available for until early November, I'd still like to see the colors for now. Gotta decide between Pacific Blue and Graphite for the Pro Max and the case choices will likely affect it.

Yeah, would be nice to know what colours we are getting. Can’t decide between the graphite or blue Pro.

Graphite Apple Watch looks nice though, so if it’s the same as that it’s a more copper like grey.
 
So all we have from Apple now is the finger print magnet clear case and the lint magnet silicone case? Yikes.

Also, this looks ridiculous.

If nothing else the lack of an official leather case may just push me to a smaller (cheaper) phone.

What’s the point of that? To educate the user where to place the magnet or some functional purpose ?
 
I keep hoping Apple will move away from making and selling leather accessories. I really like the idea of the MagSafe wallet but I'm currently disappointed that they only seem to be offering it in leather, hopefully some 3rd party ones will appear in different materials.
