No genuine apple leather cases for the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro's!

[Boardiesboi]

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.

That plum silicone case on graphite looks hot

 

[NotApplicable]

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

 

[Loge]

No folios though by the sound of it. 🙁

 

[Tekzilla]

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.

 

[oVerboost]

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.

 

[Robbosan]

didn't you just sell a pro for a SE?

 

[thadoggfather]

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 ?

Its the actual magnets. You can't make magnets see thru.

Not sure why but I thought magnets might be built into the phone itself


otherwise, how are these wallet pouches sticking directly to the phones in the stock photos here?

There’re magnets on the phone itself and magnets on the cases. That’s how they attach to each other?

But then why do you need the clear case with those magnets? Surely the clear case fits by snapping on, not the magnets

Yes but you need those magnets if you want to charge the iPhone with the case on using the MagSafe charger.
Don’t think the MagSafe charger can charge through the case.

Yeah, but the SE is being given to a family member so needs a new phone but isn’t bothered about phone specs etc. This enables me to get a 12.

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.

 

[The Game 161]

Maybe they didn't sell well? Make no sense not to include them

Ah man got scared there for s second lol

 

[Truckondo]

Who ever thought it was a good idea to launch the new leather case 2 weeks after the iPhone 12 should be fired.

 

[vistokid]

I haven't seen anything regarding pricing yet. That concerns me.

 

[oVerboost]

9-5 Mac are reporting this regarding regular 12 also getting leather but I’m not so sure...

I think the 12 cases are meant to fit both models.

 

[jbachandouris]

Hopefully they'll be out by the time the 6.7 Pro Max comes out.

 

[Apple_Robert]

I believe we will see leather cases.
