Now that Apple has finally added a bottom to their leather cases I might have to try a few. 
Got a tip for us?

I’ve ordered another one. As you say, for the price you’d expect perfection.
Post a pic of your new one please.
I’ve had it for several weeks now and i like it. At first it wasn’t to grippy and i was worried but now it’s fine
I have to agree on the Dbrand Grip for the iPhone 12 Pro. My case was also collecting lint and other pocket stuff. Switched back to the Apple Saddle Brown leather case. I'm getting a black sheath in the mail tomorrow. Looking forward to that case. A lot of people seem to love it on here.
Man I hate those tiger stripes, have had before and returned them, annoying when you see perfect ones. It’s a fault in making IMO. For $89AUD no way I would keep it.
Have a black coming so will see.
Just got the Apple 12 pro black leather case today. The phone fits snugly in the case, and takes some effort to remove the phone from the case. It doesn't easily pop out.
As far as size comparison. It's virtually the same size and thickness as the Caudabe Sheath, perhaps ever so slightly smaller. It's not as grippy as the Sheath, but a little grippier than the 11 Pro leather case, probably because of the square edges.

pic attached...
PSA: with the first case (the one with the tiger stripe) it did not feel like a perfect fit... Edges didn’t „snap“ in, corners felt like they could slide out any moment, side lids barely raised above the screen (with tempered glass).
Now with the new one (without tiger stripe) none of the issues are there... perfect fit, side lids are evenly raised above the glass...
It really seems that an imperfect piece of leather affects the fit of the case...

Does anyone have a bullstrap leather case? Love the ocean blue and bourbon colours!

Would jump on this if they were MagSafe compatible to attach my leather wallet to it.

Damn, I’ve just noticed that the original Apple Leather Case does NOT pass the Pinky-Test.... Why, God, WHY??????
Hmm, has anyone tried sandpaper? 🤔
sold out, would be too much with delivery and US conversion rate anyway imo.
Just received my saddle brown leather case from the postman for my iPhone 12, also has a few linear stripes across the back. I agree with you we are paying a premium price for these Apple products and I expect perfect condition. Now discussing with Apple support to arrange an exchange. A bit disappointing

What’s the Pinky Test?
I assume op means that the cutouts are sharp/rough and that it’s abrasive and uncomfortable on the pinky when holding it in the typical fashion. I concur, the bottomless case was much more comfortable. I hope the cutouts will soften over time and/or that I will develop a callus.
Now I’m hoping I develop a callus. It’ll match the rest of my beat up hands. 😂
Has anyone successfully gotten a replacement Smartish case? I used the form to contact them about my defective case and I got an automated response saying they are reviewing my request. I haven't heard anything since then.
If anyone has gone through this process with Smartish, can you let me know how long it takes to get approval for a replacement case?
I filled out the form for the replacement case on 11/1 and received my tracking info today. It looks like they’re starting to ship them out. Hopefully this helps!
With many reports of the Apple leather and silicone cases popping off on the corners, I decided to get a Mujjo leather case for my mini. The case and phone will be here Friday. If my Apple case does have the popping off at the corners problem, hopefully the Mujjo leather case will stay on.

It says delivery is in February
That's weird.. mine was already sent out.
But i went with the black Mini, might be different for other models and colors
It’s funny with some of the complaints of ‘tiger stripes’ on the Apple cases, bullstrap cases appear to be covered in them. I think they look better for it. That ocean colour 👌🏼
Are these sold in the UK?
