iPhone13/Mini/Pro/Pro Max Accessories Showcase Thread

[Jirachi]

Since iPhone X, have been using Apple’s leather cases. Form and function unmatched, at least to me.

I see, I used the Apple ones then switched to Nomad instead. I like the Nomad one more now.

 

[Jirachi]

how are the nomad leather cases compare to the Apple ones?


Read HWZ Forum Rules!

I like Nomad Horween leather compared to the Apple ones.

 

[masashi]

qualified for the free shipping, so it was quite a substantial amount for me

What did you order? I see the leather case just under the amount, unless I order the phone stand as well but seems excessive.

Don't see the 13 series yet for horween though Maybe need to wait a while more.

Before iPhone X I always used those from Spigen, especially Tough Armor. In my early iPhone days from 3GS, it was Griffin.

Now I just use Apple's leather case. Though the leather is a little different from 12 series, I still love it.

The apple leather changed....
It's no longer the same as the iPhone 11's leather.

Good, I think leather adds to the premium feel of the iPhone which should be a premium item.

Yes I do feel the difference, feels a bit more ‘synthetic’. The patina also forms differently.

Changed for the better or worse?

Means it's no longer that "genuine"?

Definitely. Since already paid so much for the phone, it deserves a premium case.

Is Nomad a good protective case or just for the design?
Also which case is the better one?

Think it’s still leather but the treatment or manufacturing might be different, or maybe type of leather is different.

I just smelled my 11 Pro Max’s leather case and 12 Pro Max one, the former still have that leather smell, but the latter one is not that strong. Only the MagSafe leather wallet attached behind smells the same.

my first exposure to apple's leather case was that for 12 series, was told in store it changed and is slightly different. no idea how the predecessors felt, but 12 series' felt... fine to me lol

was 11 outstanding from the other series' leather cases?

Comparing the iPhone 11 Saddle Brown to the iPhone 12 Saddle Brown.

The iPhone 12 Saddle Brown didn't darken much.
It was way harder to get a patina after like a full year of use.

Whereas, if you have ever owned a iPhone Saddle Brown Case prior to the 12 series you'll notice that within a month of heavy usage, the leather will naturally darken.
But the 12 series? Only small parts of the case turned dark brown.

I personally feel that Apple has increased the amount of coating used on the iPhone 12 series leather cases.
Not sure if it'll be the same case for the 13 series

My previous iPhone X and XS Max were using Saddle Brown and yes, it darkens after a few months. My 11 Pro Max is using Forest Green while 12 PRo Max is using Baltic Blue. The Baltic Blue since launch day, does darken a bit on the surface but the darker parts are around the edges where you hold them.
