About this item
Display size: 6.68 inches.Made from specially tanned and finished leather, the outside feels soft to the touch and develops a natural patina over time. The case quickly snaps into place and fits snugly over your iPhone without adding bulk.
With built-in magnets that align perfectly with iPhone 12 Pro Max, the case offers a magical attach and detach experience, every time.
The perfectly aligned magnets make wireless charging faster and easier than ever before. And when it’s time to charge, just leave the case on your iPhone and snap on your MagSafe charger, or set it on your Qi-certified charger.
Like every Apple-designed case, it undergoes thousands of hours of testing throughout the design and manufacturing process. So not only does it look great, it’s built to protect your iPhone from scratches and drops.
This case is made with high-quality, supple leather to protect your iPhone. Leather is a natural material and like a fine leather belt, it may show creases, marks, or a patina over time. Interaction with MagSafe accessories will leave slight imprints.

Customers have mixed opinions about the leather of the cellular phone case. Some mention that it's real leather, while others say that it was obviously buckled in several of the corners. The soft leather scars easily, and gets nicked up fairly easily. The striations in the leather bothered them and the case is not easy to keep.

"To start off I would say this case is definitely overpriced as I’m the kinda of guy to usually get an under $20 Spigen case...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the color of the cellular phone case. They mention that the face of the case discolored to a dark blue/black color after a few months of use, the brown coloring is wearing off on the corners, and the color rubbing off. They also say that the leather will start fading a little.
"...The color rubbing off is from taking my iPhone out and into my pocket about 4 times per day... very light use...." Read more
"...4 months in developing a dark brown patina around the edges." Read more
"...they sent did not have this problem but some of the leather/color stripped off within a few days. That one is on the way back...." Read more
"...However, with limited use, the color starts to fade quickly and no longer has that bright tan leathery looks and is more a of a dark brown color...." Read more
To start off I would say this case is definitely overpriced as I’m the kinda of guy to usually get an under $20 Spigen case. Don’t get me wrong I’m a huge fan of Spigen cases at that price point, but the iPhone 12 Pro Max is quite an heavy phone and I use my pinky finger nestled by the lighting port in order to hold it. With other cases it was uncomfortable to hold after a short period. This leather case however is so soft and supple it makes handling such a large phone much easier and more comfortable. It also work better with MagSafe accessories than cases that are not MagSafe certified. I love the color blue that Apple choose it matches the blue 12 pro Max perfectly. Last but not least this case has metal buttons on the actual case and I would say it’s the best tactical button feel of any case I’ve ever used it feels like the actual phones buttons. Overall I wish this case was a bit cheaper but Apple did it again and made a good product, just get a tempered glass screen protector and I don’t think you would be disappointed.
Overall I think the product does a great job of protecting the iPhone. It gives it a touch of class and it feels good in the hand. It’s a genuine leather semi rigid case but it’s made in a way that it keeps the form factor very thin compared to other leather cases out there. You can clean and condition it with a leather conditioner and it brings it back to like new condition. When you put it on it does not appreciably increase the thickness of the phone. There’s also a raised lip around the camera area to protect the lenses. Once installed there is also a raised half millimeter lip all around the face surrounding the screen so if you place your phone facedown the screen does not touch the surface. The power and volume buttons work perfectly with no added resistance and there is a tiny cut out for the mute switch. The quality is unbelievable, typical of Apple. There is also an embossed Apple logo on the back of the case to remind you that this is the real deal. It fits snugly and while it may protect from minor drops and scratches, I don’t know how effective it would be if you drop the phone from waist level or even shoulder level and I am not trying this for obvious reasons. I’m not one who drops my phone but if you’re a person who drops the phone often maybe a more protective case like a Maus case or OtterBox is better suited for you. However if you are looking for a classy leather case for your iPhone, I don’t think there’s anything better out there in style and in keeping the thin iPhone form factor. I am very satisfied with it. If you buy one I think you will also be very satisfied.
Purchased this product a year ago (2021) and decided to ignore all those discussing the low quality of the case. Within a year of everyday use, the case cracked in multiple places around the front edge. The volume up/down buttons are notably crooked. The leather was torn/shredded around the front and in areas on the back. I also found that there isn’t much drop protection, I dropped my phone from my lap while getting out of a vehicle and the entire front screen cracked with this case on. Would not recommend
I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a case at this price point, especially because the MagSafe Charging capabilities was not something that was important to me. My motivation to purchase this case was the look and feel of a genuine leather case made by Apple and designed to perfectly fit my new iPhone 12 Pro Max phone. I purchased the saddle brown color and have been very happy with the look, feel and performance of this case. The case effortlessly clicks into place, drawn together by the magnets, and although the case is rigid and durable it feels soft to the touch, easy to grip and does not add any noticeable thickness to the phone. The ridges around the front screen and cameras on the back of the phone are raised enough to provide protection. I also like the metallic volume and power buttons as they add a nice touch and elevate the look. I would have loved some sort of kickstand, because I frequently watch streaming TV and videos on my phone, but that doesn’t change my opinion on this case. I love it and think it’s worth the higher price point.
If you are going to spend the money to get an inflated price case, spend the extra $10 to get the leather version. Apple’s silicon version will break chunks of the finish off and then the damage will just slowly grow. These leather cases are much more durable and sure the leather will fray with drops but it won’t come off in chunks and the damage doesn’t just grow on it’s own. However, if you learn anything from me today, buy Spigen cases. Way better quality and much better price.
This is a great case for the iPhone. Despite what others have commented, these are real leather. It is the perfect shape to protect the iPhone from MILD use. For people who aren’t careless with their devices. If you are careless and constantly break your phones or throw them around, get an Otter case or something similar. I treat my phones with respect and I’m always mindful of where I put it and how I set it down, so this brings more than enough protection for me. I see some of the pictures on the comments here and it’s obvious these people are careless about their stuff.
The color looks amazing, and it complements the shape of the phone so that it still feels like a premium device. Sure, you can get a cheap case that will protect your phone, but it will FEEL cheap in your hands. Not this one, the aluminum buttons match the phone perfectly and their click is very satisfying.
The cons: - I did find that the bottom corner pops out slightly every once in a while, like when taking it out of my pocket. It was not a dealbreaker for me. - it’s pricey. But then again all real leather is pricey. - Picks up stains over time. HOWEVER, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Some people like the patina on a leather product. Like all leather, oils and liquids can stain it a bit (including oil from your dirty hands). If the change in color bothers you, just get the silicone version. I personally don’t mind the “worn” look. This is why I left 4 stars for durability.
Was a little hesitant to buy this case based on other reviews, but have been super impressed throughout the first month. Have had zero issues with the case slipping off the phone. The magnetic pull from the Magsafe is plenty strong and hasn't fallen off my car mount a single time. The case is a little more orange than I was expecting, but that has actually led to the phone being super easy to find when lost in my apartment. The case does show a little wear after a month but nothing at all excessive. Super happy with this purchase and absolutely worth the extra cost.
This case feels premium. The leather feels nice in the hand and compliments the design of the phone. It’s protective yet not bulky like some rodent cases.
