Leather case questions !!!

1. Are there any other 3rd party leather cases like the official Apple case that have a strong magsafe magnet and charge well via magsafe?

2. IF yes to the above question, which ones are the most minimal? Maybe at least the same width for hand feel?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

I like Grams28 case. In my opinion it comes closest to the Apple case (or even better in some cases). It has magnets for MagSafe but not as strong as Apple case.

I added the Electric Blue to my line up of Caudabe cases. I love the Ocean Blue case, but I like this one better.

Does the ridge around the rear camera stick out significantly? I have the Synthesis for my 12 Pro but it feels like the camera is barely protected by the corner bumps
 
For the folks whom change cases a lot I would like to ask the state of the stainless pvd coating. Are there micro scratches on the coating, those faint marks that can only be seen under bright direct light and in an angle? And if so on which part of the frameis it on.

p.s. I am only asking those with colored bands as the silver one does not have any coating and will most definitely catch hairline makes fast.

Thanks in advance and hope everyone is well.

I believe Lucrin have better leather cases with very good protection. The Gram one have very weak magnets and barely held my apple magsafe wallet

My iPhone silicon case is pretty worn down after a feew months of use. Due to that, the edges became way to grippy, so I would like to go with another case. I would like to go with a thin hard case, but I would love to have magsafe working as I want to attach it to my car magsafe holder.

Any recommendations?

I have the Space Gray Graphite, and there is definitely dozens of tiny scratches on the PVD coating. Fortunately, the scratches aren't on the side but on the front and rear edges (the thin part of the frame that runs along the front screen and the glass back).

The ridge around the camera definitely protects the camera lens. I can set the phone down on its back (still don’t set down on a hard surface) and not worry about scratching the lens. It also don’t feel like it’s sticking out a lot.

Just got a Spigen tough armor magsafe for the promax, it's pretty good. It's WAY thinner than previous tough armor cases and the buttons are improving. Not the best, but not bad at all. This is NOT the tough armor and NOT the Spigen mag armor case so don't get confused if you're looking at the various names. I got mine from amazon, it's half the price of buying directly from Spigen. I don't think I would buy it for $50 but for $25 it's pretty good. It's actually not as wide as my bullstrap leather case and only slightly wider than the ringke onyx.

Summary of my favorite character cases:
Max protection - solid suit
Thin case - ringke onyx
Leather - so far it's bullstrap (still waiting for my decoded)

I have a phone rebel case I will be selling here, it's good but I like the solid suit better.
