Does it rock when laying down on its back? I had the clear ultra hybrid on my 12 pro and it didn’t have the bump on the corner where the cameras are. I’ve ordered the same case for my 13 pro max, just wondering if they’ve done the same with these cases. I went the clear without the magnet too, the 12 pro still picked up my MagSafe puck and charged the phone ok.

Yes it does since the camera bump is a bit taller than the rest of the case.

Bit the bullet and purchased a midnight leather last night, not expecting to see it until next week. Interested in golden brown, but want to see it in person first, and see how it goes with time and use for others, then maybe get one if they hold up ok.
Green and cherry look nice, but not something I’d want to use.

Decided against silicon for the dust attraction. I’d settled on abyss blue if I was going to get one, but don’t think it would fare too well.

I've been to the Apple store twice to try out cases, and I liked all of the Dark Cherry, Sequoia Green, and Wisteria about equally. I thought they were all beautiful and worked well with my Sierra Blue 13 Pro. However, at $60 a pop, it's not like changing tee shirts, and I don't like to wear the same color every day. So I ended up getting the Midnight. I've only ever had black cases, and I've never once got tired of the color or even thought about it after slapping the case on. (There's an old saying that seems to apply here. lol)

The Apple leather case is definitely more comfortable to hold than the Smartish Gripmunk case I bought when I ordered the phone. While I loved my iPhone 7 Smartish (formerly Silk) case, the 13pro is thicker and has the right-angle edges due to the different phone shape, and their Gripmunk case exacerbates those things. The Apple leather mitigates them, being a bit more rounded on the edges, less thick, and softer.

Silicone cases pick up a lot of lint and dust which is why I would suggest a leather case over the silicone case.

Also silicone case doesn’t slide as smoothly inside the pocket compared to the leather case.

I got the new blue jay silicone and they seem to have improved the material. Feels less dusty and definitely attracts less lint.

I've been using the blue jay silicone case with my sierra blue pro max for the last week but as always happens with the silicone case, I just can't stick with it. It is less of a lint magnet than previous ones I've had but the stick in the pocket is too annoying, especially with a max size phone which is tight in pockets anyway. I also find over time that the silicone case pick up grease and just doesn't look or feel good over time.

I used to like the leather cases but made a decision a few years back to stop using leather products so for me its end of the road for the apple cases again, even if the blue jay was a good colour!
 
Hi!
I found the sequoia green leather case in a local store today. But, I wasn’t sure if it would fit/blend or crash with the sierra blue, so I didn’t buy it. I tried to google it, but found hardly any pictures. Have any of you got one, and can share your opinions (or pictures)
 
I have the Midnight and Golden Brown leather and think both look great. The former is classy and refined, the latter is fun and fall festive.

I love the sequoia green with sierra blue.

Golden Brown ordered to go along with the midnight. Used rewards points on my credit card, so it only cost me $AU54 in the end. Tossing up returning the midnight, but think I’ll keep it for a bit of variety.
 
I’m a bit concerned about the golden brown leather. I put my phone in my back jeans pocket a couple times yesterday and noticed Blue around the back edges of my phone. I’ve done that for years and don’t recall this happening before. They aren’t new jeans either. Thankfully it came off with a little water but it’s concerning nonetheless.
 
Can anyone chime in on whether the silicone case is thinner than the clear case or are they basically the same thickness?
