Leather Baltic Blue case. Picked it up earlier for my Pro Max Graphite
Since I can't just walk into the Apple Store and browse, I had I go by pictures, color of a AW Baltic Blue band.

Not 100% sure right now on the color, under certain lighting it looks good, maybe too bright in other conditions...maybe I'm just not used to it.

I have to see it on the actual phone next week, not on my current XS Max. If not, I'll return it, maybe exchange for Saddle Brown.

Bro that case looks absolutely stunning. I ordered one to go with my Pro Max Blue phone. How did you get it so soon?

Baltic blue and saddle brown leather case for the 12 Pro.
Black leather case for the 12 Pro Max.

The case feels supple and soft in the hand and lighter and slimmer than the silicone case.

I think I’ll keep the Baltic blue. It’s a classy and elegant look.

Will post more pics when I’m home with the phone in the case.

Just pre-ordered the Baltic Blue leather case, excited to get it! I think it will look good with the saddle brown wallet I also pre-ordered (which isn't getting here until December unfortunately).

I have the Blue silicone, which looks great but I definitely prefer leather as it stays cleaner. I also have the Totallee clear TPU case, but it is a fingerprint magnet and already yellowing after just a couple of weeks.

Initially the silicone has more grip. But I can see the leather becoming just as grippy over time.

The Apple leather case has a similar texture to Bellroy leather cases which from my experience become quite grippy over time.
I don't see much love with Bellroy around here. Have you used one of the phone cases before? I've had one of their slim wallets for 5 years (may be more). Still looks very good.

Last one i had the button holes weren't good to access button of the phone, that looks changed now to actual buttons, where the leather met the plastic was sharp. Could be better not sure.
I have had their wallet to for years too.

Agree with Robbo. Generally their phones cases are below par. I like the texture of the leather on their phone cases but find that the leather doesn’t wear as nicely as other leather cases. The overall build quality leaves a bit to be desired.

I’m currently have 2 Bellroy wallets and don’t see myself moving to another wallet brand any time soon.

Thanks! I think this will look real nice with the Graphite. After I placed the pre-order, I went back to look for cases on Apple and saw the leather's were available. Placed the order for the Baltic Blue, did in-store pickup - had to reserve a time for 6:15pm Fri. The Apple Store is only a few miles from me.

Just picked up the iPhone 12 leather case. The leather seems softer than in previous years. There seems to be no glossy layer over the leather. A little slippery but grip should get better over time as it wears. Decent lip protection. The leather lip does not wrap around the front of the phone (similar to the silicone case) so you can see a bit of the aluminium side of the phone.

I wouldn’t trust this case in a drop but apart from that I’m quite impressed

Any photos please?
