Thanks. I was looking on Amazon and couldn’t find it. Just the newer one with the magnets.

...is this better than Apple's official leather cases?

The leather is not as soft as Apple's I would suspect because of this, it'll retain it's look for longer and you won't get the stickiness associated with Apple's.

I think it is a tad and I mean a tad thicker than Apple's case but the fit is a lot better. The metal buttons are just as precise and clicky

I've always been a sucker for reverting back to an official case but I'm going to try and run with this for a decent amount of time - Just to see how it wears etc

It is kind of hard to beat how the Apple case feels in the hand. It may not look the best but feels great.

I've tried 5 different apple leather cases and can say 100% that the decoded magsafe leather I currently have feels better than any of the apple ones. Buttons are just as good, leather feels 100X's better. I don't have any magsafe accessories so can't say if the magnet features are as good, but the rest is excellent.

Agree re the Decoded ones. I tried a pre-mag safe one with an open bottom which I wasn't a fan of.

Tempted to order a blue magsafe one with the closed bottom but it's a pointless £50 I feel.

Have you got any decent pics of yours to persuade me?

Why do you say it's pointless?
Here's one, in the light it's more red-brown.

Edit: posted in wrong thread... My bad. In terms of case, I'm case-less with a clear skin ;)

-----------------
Just bought a Choetech MagSafe wireless charger for my iPhone 12 Mini. Great value (~$30 or less) when it comes with the power adapter and works great, no issues. Loving it so far, definitely a worthy alternative to Apple's version.

I’ve been using the Peel case for 3 days, and the back has a ton of scratches. I don’t put my phone down on hard surfaces, nor put it in my pockets with anything. I’m so glad I got this case for free, because I would’ve been angry.
 
Today is the 2nd day I’ve been using an off brand silicon case from AliExpress, and I have to say, I could see myself spending the $49 for an Apple silicon case. The only thing I don’t like is how the phone slides down my hand at times when I’m reading something. I have to use both hands to keep it from falling out of my hands. Do the silicon case get grippy after using it more?

Yes, I have the Cyprus Green and Deep Navy and they both have worn into the perfect grip. I’m using the capri blue now and it’s starting to wear in as well. I have about 5 other cases for my 12 but I’ve been using silicone this whole time and my other cases are collecting dust.

That’s great to know. I didn’t like the Apple silicon cases at first, but I’m going to buy one in a few days and give it a try, although I keep running back to my Caudabe cases no matter what case I’m using.

Shared sentiment. Not sure it would survive many any good drops but sure is easier to get a hold of. Good little case for money. Definitely much thinner/less Bulky than the 11 Pro Max version the YouTube guy makes(mind drawing blank on brand ugh).

Phone Rebel aka EverythingApplePro aka Filip something. I like his stuff but I liked it a lot more before he started peddling his wares throughout his videos. His cases don’t appeal to me so I’d rather not have to see ads and listen to him talk about his production woes/successes while I wait to hear about the topic for which I clicked.
