The boxy design and the closed bottom made the 5s case a little less sustainable as it broke more easily on the edges and in front of the lightning port.
Apple should have an optional “Wallet Disconnected” notification pop up on iPhone and Apple Watch when the wallet is taken off, just as a confirmation.
The wallet was designed to be removed from the phone and then removing cards to use, so it would just become more annoying when you take it off to take out your card to pay for something
With every scratch and blemish leather cases document your iPhone journey. They become wonderfully personal and unique to the owner. It almost makes your $1000+ purchase feel more valuable over time
Saddle brown will ALWAYS be my favorite color on the leather cases. I had one for my iPhone X and used with my XS and the way it ages is just 😍😍😍 that was the only case I used for both the iPhone X and XS (I got a black one too but I used the saddle or own more)
@@FPSTUGA YYYAAASSSS!!!! It’s the most beautiful color when it starts to age. You would start seeing it about 2 weeks later. It’ll start to patina. A Month later you’ll notice it more. The saddle brown is honestly the best apple leather color anyone can get, followed by black💯. Those are the 2 that patina the best. Not only that, those 2 colors also enhances the elegance of the case and phone too
I picked up the saddle brown yesterday and it definitely looks, feels and smells amazing! Been looking for cases and this is the one I'm gonna stick with. Can't wait for the leather to have patina
Man, I thought I was the only one who thinks like that. I always wanted a saddle brown case and get the patina look but the open bottom bit stopped me from getting one.
It is a clash; those are complimentary colors, but they are not when used together in the full spectrum. Used together subtly is much more pleasing, especially in photographs (blue in the shadows, orange in the highlights).
Depends on the shade. I have the blue regular 12 model and was planning on getting the kumquat silicone case for exactly that reason. Thankfully the apple store lets you preview what each color of phone looks like because the blue on the 12 is much too dark to compliment the kumquat. Ended up going with the plum which I think looks a lot better. The cyprus green also looks nice. Personally I dont think the regular 12 blue looks very good with any of the leather cases and the pacific blue really only works with the baltic blue case imo.
I had the blue 12 pro case but ended up returning it as I went for the Pro max but tbh it doesn’t look great in person. I decided to go for the spigen crystal clear case on Amazon for £9/$10 and that will showcase the lovely pacific blue colour of my phone.
I always go with Apples leather cases their very premium and great. I dropped my iPhone xs max a few times on concrete with these leather cases on and was shock that nothing happened to my iPhone. Just bought another one for my iPhone 12 Pro Max when it ships next week
Ordered the saddle brown leather case yesterday for my Graphite pro max. I’ve always used the leather apple cases for my iPhones, and was happy to see them available for the 12 series. The saddle brown over time gets a unique color to it, which i love the wear/distress look.
Apple cases are the best, expensive but they’re worth it. I own an Apple case and it just feels soo premium. No other manufacturer in the world can accomplish the level of accuracy and finishing touches like Apple can! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been waiting on this before I ordered. Never had the leather cases before but it would look nice on my iPhone 12 pro. I just want to make sure the colors are vivid like they’re displayed.
Think I am getting one of these for my 12 pro max. Ordered a case on Amazon by Casekoo and I do not like it at all - $20 price was good though. Anyone getting screen protector and what do you recommend? Got an Anker adapter, not going to do wireless charging yet.
Nice job Aaron, you were the top video and you didn't waste my time. Bought California Poppy for my black phone, thinking it will pop with the black, great video!
Too bad you did not try them on a phone. I was wondering of the black leather matches the pacific blue iPhone. This is my thing - Blue for silicone and black for leather 👌🏼
Always great videos, thanks! 😊 got the silicone product red, but getting the leather version as well to change between 👍 depends on the usage & where I am. At home I mostly not using a case at all, but always having a case on when I’m out to be safe. I love both the silicone and leather version, so always going to change between them on the usage. Always love Apple’s quality, the iPhone 12 is great (got it in black) and always rocking a black/red theme. Well, finally we got the iPhone 4/5/SE design back - it’s just the best overall, best feeling no doubt 👏
Hi Aaron. Does the clear case feel slippery on the 12 pro? I've ordered a clear case for my 12 Pro Max but not sure if it will be too slippery. If so, I may purchase the baltic blue leather case instead. Thanks in advance.
I’ve been using the Apple leather cases since the iPhone 7 and I’ve never broken a phone. They have survived every drop, sticking to the leather case for my 12 Pro Max that arrives today as well.
Because the entire phone is covered, I might actually rock Apple’s leather case this year but I’m so undecided between the blue and black, they both look so good.
I first used the Apple leather cases for my iPhone X. They feel great and don’t add much bulk. The only reason I switched to Nomad leather case is because they offer a case with the Moment lens mount.
Girlfriend bought me a black one for my graphite 12 Pro for my birthday. I’m excited! I had brown and black ones for my X and love them. That red one is intriguing though!
I bought both the Apple leather case and OtterBox Commuter for my 12 Pro Max. The OtterBox gives better protection, but it takes a lot to press the buttons. The Apple case buttons are a dream in comparison.
Ordered Saddle Brown with the black Mini. The black 12 looks so clean in all of the videos it shows up in, lured me away from the blue 12 mini. Saddle brown ages so nice and always looks quality.
Hi Aaron, Do these new MagSafe cases feel like they’re hugging the phone well? Snug fit?They seem to go on and pop off with minimal effort, of course hard to actually know just by watching. Raises a little concern that they might just pop off the phone if dropped... Great videos!
I don’t know about all cases, but i always used the clear plastic cases because i want to see the color of the phone, but those cases are always really hard to click for the power button.
@@jognfong8557 yeah i get you. I've used Tech 21 clear case for my iphone 11 pro and they've always been so clicky and responsive. I tried it on at best buy and still has the same feeling. Maybe you'll like that
Great review as always. I wish Apple would’ve continued the speaker holes on the leather like they did on the silicone cases. I remember the leather case I had for the iPhone 5 and loved that detail about them. There are some on Amazon with the perforated speaker holes that line up with the hardware, but as you’d expect, the quality isn’t great. I have the Baltic Blue one on order, nevertheless, because I’m a sucker.
Hey i'm planning on buying iphone 12promax since there isn't charger brick available on the box which charger would be best can you suggest me. Switching from android to ios for the first time
Hi aaron I wanted to ask I don’t know if it’s my iPhone XS Max only but I’ve only noticed since I updated to IOS 14.2 the back tap doesn’t work anymore. I normally control my Philips Hue lights with it. Can you test and let me know
Hi Aaron, interesting that you showed the RavPower Qi charger as that’s one of the Qi chargers that won’t charge my iPhone 12 Pro (even with 14.2) Apple store said that “not all Qi chargers will work with the 12 series phones” despite the website claims. They argue that firmware in the chargers are to blame.
Hey Aaron, great video as always. The cases look somewhat loose, you were able to put in and take out the phone very easily. Is it like that? If so it may pop out the case after a drop.
I like the tan. Just ordered one. I bought a Nomad, which is beautiful darker brown case... but no MagSafe. I wish I had been more patient, but it’s good to have a backup. I have found all of Apple’s leather cases to be slippery at first.
I wish I could have seen the Pacific Blue on saddle brown. What do you think? Do any of you have that color combo. I love the pacific blue but it’s been challenging to find the right color for a case.
One thing to add here as a precautionary measure: Silicon cover makes your hand sweat, so in case if you plan to hold your phone for a longer duration than I would suggest you go for leather case. I have been using the silicon case and it keeps making my hands sweet 😢
Finally they covered the bottom of the phone!
Am i the only one who prefers the bottom open like they used to be ? The closed bottom makes swiping from the bottom very awkward.
The iPhone 4 cases had a closed bottom too. Similar design so no surprise
The boxy design and the closed bottom made the 5s case a little less sustainable as it broke more easily on the edges and in front of the lightning port.

very good idea like an alarm!!!

Saddle brown looks so clean
The Apple leather cases are the best iPhone cases in existence ......
Billy Routh he literally showed it charging with an off brand charger in the video, what are you talking about?
Billy Routh it’s probably your case, since Apple uses qi standard so it works when any Qi charger
Billy Routh id return it then must be defective
Billy Routh sounds like you have to deal with it then! It’s not my phone idk what to tell you
That blue on blue looks really good but in the end, I always go for a black phone/black case lol
same!
the black one looks first time not just classy , but also badass because it really gives good contrast to the camera bumb

That's a fact mate
California Poppy on blue "a little bit of clash of color." No clash - orange is the complement of blue. Looks great together.
I was thinking the SAME thing
It is a clash; those are complimentary colors, but they are not when used together in the full spectrum. Used together subtly is much more pleasing, especially in photographs (blue in the shadows, orange in the highlights).
I agree
Depends on the shade. I have the blue regular 12 model and was planning on getting the kumquat silicone case for exactly that reason.

I like the combo but a Baltic blue case on a California orange poppy camera module popping would look better. Subtle bright color pop is the way to go

The fact the phone knows what’s being attached and what color is pretty dope
I like the orange against blue phone. Good contrast.

Saddle brown is always my favorite,it was the single case that I don't see how it looks with the phone on it.
Was thinking this the whole time lol
Thank you for the review. I preordered the gold pro max and got the saddle brown leather case. The two colors look good together.😍
for the wallet, it should include an alarm if it falls to warn us
soon when apple releases their nfc tags, i’m sure they would add something like this
