Yes not all appreciate patina effect. If one truly loves leather should know about patina effect over time and love it this way. This is why car leather seats are always not “real” leather
This is patina:

What’s happening with the 12 and later cases is Apple’s overzealous coating actively resists hand oils so no aging can take place. The coating eventually breaks down in high wear areas which is why you see dark streaks on the edges. A good case will patina evenly over time, Apple’s obviously doesn’t.

I don’t know if the 14 cases will be any different from the 12 and 13’s, at this point it’s much too early to say.

Older cases uses premium European leather. The newer cases since iPhone 12 uses cheaper and thinner material. Apple does not even reference it to European leather unlike the past.

But, so many variations lol?!

LOL yes same thoughts. getting bored of black iphones. btw Sportcase is so cheap currently on Shopee. i think they are doing promo or something. i paid 3 for $89.9 only!

those who want to try out this case can go ahead, damn worth it now especially for a newly launched product.

Actually I saw jb shops selling also, not that expensive iirc 20rm only with installation but must find the correct shop. Some selling 25rm-30rm.

As for the variants, accordingly to seller 6D is the better choice. King Kong is smoother on the touch but elephant is stronger. I tried elephant with my iPhone 12 Pro Max and until now still working good, dropped face down few times no crack, but might also due to Nomad case been protecting lol
