Thread a bit long. Any recommendation for clear case? As usual I forgot which brand’s clear case I’m using for my ip12😅

Wait for the historic all time hero PSAJ to be available. i might again get the full range to swap around. :D

I've my eyes set on this. having used it on my 13pm i've to say its one of the best cases in the market. offers excellent grip, not too bulky and all around drop protection.

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.
Yeah. The difference is very obvious

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.


The 14's leather case is the same as 12 and 13.

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
I wish Apple leather cases were like my car seats, or hard leather wallet……still looking good after years without having those uneven discolourations :D

My 14 pro max leather case that I bought when I picked up my phone at apple orchard got defect(two large creases perpendicular on the apple logo). To return or swap need to walk in right? Not sure if they even allow walkins for anything unrelated to preorders right now..

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
Yeah so many options but good lah, i like cuz i can slowly choose what I want to test!

Okay bro, i will check out later when Im back home :D

That’s not defect. It’s just the natural characteristic of the leather. If you don’t like it, you can still walk in to exchange it.

For Apple leather cases bought and picked up from physical local Apple Stores, the Specialist allow you to open up the box to check for the condition of the leather case. That’s why you see leather cases the back don’t have the top and bottom tear perforated sticker. And that’s what they told me too, “Can open & check, satisfied then make payment”. Only silicon cases have the top & bottom perforated tear sticker (not allowed to open to chk b4 payment).

Of coz, the specialist wouldn’t offer to you to open and check before you make payment or leave the store. That is to keep their serving time pegged to each customer to the minimal, especially during launch period like now whereby they’re extremely bz.

For purchases being made and stepped out of store already, any unsatisfactory feel that you may have of the leather product, be it a nick or unsightly crease, will be treated as returned route and you have to make a new purchase.

I see, never mind then since it doesn't bother me that much. Had fun talks with a few of them that attended to me yesterday, all of them on overtime for about a week. Can empathize with them. :cry:
