Awesome. Big fan of the green myself however I worry how it will age overtime. You never know anymore how these apple cases will wear.

They didn’t patina nicely at all on the 12 series, hopefully I haven’t made a mistake getting the golden brown leather case.

I picked up the dark blue silicon case this morning - I think its a really nice shade of blue and would have looked great as a leather wallet. I generally only use a case if I'm out biking/running/working in the garden etc so I'm sure I'll get used to silicon.

Abyss blue is one sexy case, after using the dark navy silicone case last year and seeing all the dust and lint on it, dark silicone cases are a no go for me from now on.

ended up going with Blue Jay instead.

Would’ve looked awesome on my sierra blue iPhone.

Looking for something rugged that will complement the midnight blue, dh just got this mini and needs something super protective for job sites. Such a shame to cover up this gorgeous blue :( Any suggestions would be great!

Got this simple one for now until we find a more permanent option and its nice and grippy, fits well, but just feels sort of blah as most rugged ones do.

Then saw this, looks a little less bulky and has a clear back (yay) but no grip and smooth sides (boo)

I hear you. Golden Brown might look like atrocious as it wears. I still can't believe they ditched the saddle brown. It seems with the 12 series, it was safer to go with a darker color than not. I imagine that light purple color (whatever its called) will look bad as well if last year was any indication.

def will check it out. my phone is always in and out of my scrub pockets and i don’t want to deal with the wallet detaching and risk losing it. that’s my only concern with it. heard it isn’t that resilient in that way.

I've been using the first gen wallet for ten months now and the only time I've had it come off unintentionally was when the phone slipped off my lap and hit the floor under the table. I wear straight fit jeans and the pockets aren't tight, but it does take some effort to get the phone in and out and the wallet stays put. This is especially so when using a leather MagSafe case.

Here’s a great shot showing the variation in these new leather cases. Same Midnight leather case but the grain is very different.

Picked up a midnight leather for my sierra blue 13PM because it was $20 off. Returning my dark cherry because the color isn’t worth the price difference.

Where is it $20 off my friend? I’ve actually just received my leather midnight case for my 13PM, and the fit seems awful. I have to keep pushing the phone back into the case on all the corners after pulling out of my pocket. Every damn time.
 
Went with an Apple leather case for my iPhone 13 Pro Max (midnight colour). It’s beautiful and fits the phone way better then lasts year leather case for my iPhone 12 Pro. It’s grips the phone way tighter and there’s no way the corners will pop off like last year.

I wouldn’t be so sure. The corners pop off of my 13PM every time I handle it.

you sure its in the whole way? for starters i didnt do it the way the box which shows left in and then press right side

I did top left then top right and bottom left bottom right. Took a little pushing to get it firmly in for the bottoms but unless theres a defect 1) yes u see the outline of the color 2) its very snug when in

Yeah I think I’ve tried every which way and made sure I didn’t have any debris wedged in there or what not. No dice. I think it’s defective. Would be nice to be able to test someone else’s case to see if it’s just me or not

Sounds weird. They definitely changed the case this year. It also shows much more of the stainless steel this year but still manages to fit way tighter. It’s been perfect.
You could have gotten a defect?

Yeah I think it’s defective. It’s not super loose or anything, just has to be popped back in every time I pull it from my pocket. Really annoying!
 
Went to the apple store ready to choose from one of these 3 cases below for my Sierra Blue. Loved the Dark Cherry colour but decided on the Blue Jay silicon for added grip, and also love the colour as well.
