Under Return/Refund T&C item must not be opened and in its original condition.
I believe either some of the customer are very good at pressing the CSO or the person checking the return is Kuku.
There are times when others receiving returned open set and worse still, activated.

Luckily I got a habit of recording video of my online purchase and delete after nothing went wrong.

I encountered Amazon opened & activated AW7 and 512GB instead 1TB Nvme, Lazada wrong model Notebook ram which is incompatible.

All leather cases end up looking like crap after a period of time anyway. No way to avoid moisture on hands etc.

Just get a Sheath and it'll still look brand new after a year.
A post-iPhone 11 Apple leather case ages very differently from any other respectable leather case. With the Nomads and Bullstraps the leather isn’t treated to resist hand oils so it wears naturally over time, along the way also picking up nicks and scratches that give every case a different character.

On Apple cases high wear areas experience drastic amounts of aging once the coating inevitably wears off. Coating breakdown isn’t even uniform so you have black edges contrasting really poorly against leather sections that basically look brand new. Again, remember these things are supposed to age so now the silly cases look super unnatural because of uneven wear patterns.

If Apple's consider clicky n responsive, then alot of cases in the market are clicky and responsive :ROFLMAO:
I press the volume button till i pekcek haha
lol I thought online opinions were generally favourable. Guess I got lucky with my 12 and 14 cases.

It's the spigen glastr optik for 14promax (Crystal clear). There is a black one as well.

I think my sis got from amazon sg, it's a 2 pack lens. You might wanna wait for 10:10 sales.

I have not own any 14promax Apple leather/silicone la. But I went into Apple store intending to buy one, but walked out empty handed. Different hand feel from leather cases from many years back, feels light & didn't wow me for this year.

I owned leather cases for my previous 8plus/X/XS Max. I personally feel it's better back then.

I liked the ink magsafe wallet, but at $89 i cannot swallow haha. End up bought during lazada flash sales.

Get the one whole piece lens protector I got mine 2 pcs at $1.39. Does not affect LiDAR as they cut an hole but the top glass remains. Get black rings (need these in case of flash).

if leather get Andar that’s what I went with. Very solid. See if you can find anyone bringing them in below $100. It’s worth it as full grain leather and similar size to apple leather slim built.

If u think the ppl in this thread is a sizable representation then u need to zoom out further….
hahaha I never said it’s a sizeable representation.. I know it’s a small population but truth is some people are shying away from their leather cases since iPhone 12 because they no longer patina nicely and are poorer in standard n quality than before.

Maybe they still sell 500mil leather cases per year but if 10mil of the previously loyal fans stayed away. That is still alot isn’t it? :unsure:
