I'm trying really, really hard to stick with one case this time around. I already bought the Caudabe Sheath. People on here make these other cases look so good, though.
Easier said than done lol, don’t forget apple always release new case colors later on down the track. 🤦‍♂️ Might have a Baltic blue leather case 2.0 with my name on it. 😂

You end up checking out the golden brown case? I’m loving this case more and more everyday, reminds me of a luxury super car expensive leather 😂 my flex levels just went up big times lol, in darker environments it tones down the color a bit, makes you look more like a boss, double flex. 😎😂
100% on luxury sports car leather.

Not easy getting this case accurate color in a photo, not as bright as in this photo, more of a burnt orange brown color, looks 🔥 with sierra blue

After researching more than I should have on phone cases, I have decided to buy UAG Monarch (preferably, the Kevlar version, however, it's out of stock currently). I am also planning to buy a Flolab screen protector. However, I am not sure if the Flolab screen protector would be compatible with a UAG case. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Just got the Midnight leather to try on my 13P (have the green and cherry on the way that should be here tomorrow).

One thing I notice (and I 100% could be making it up in my head) is that it seems like the leather quality (or at least the feel) is better this year than last.

I tried the leather for my 12P last year and it felt very plasticky, and I sent them back quickly.

Not sure yet if I'll keep one of the leather options, but it seems like the quality and feel might be better this year. Again though, I don't have the one from last year to compare to, so its absolutely possible that it's all in my head.
They look, feel and smell premium. No chemical smell or plastic feel.

So I have had two Seqouia Green leather cases thus far with my launch day order having to be retuned. The first case had the chemical smell and felt more like plastic and very cheaply made. The new one has the premium feel I remember from years past, with nice leather grain and smell.

Also got the leather smell on mine and that sexy grain. (Golden Brown)👌 Now we wait and see if they patina horribly again like last year. 🤦‍♂️

I like the look of that! Sticking with the dark cherry which is my favourite and I’m limiting myself to one leather case this year.

Was going to get the dark cherry case, didn’t like how it changes to a maroon color, looks awesome in your photo.

The chap in the apple store yesterday was super helpful. Brought three cases over for me to try (dark cherry, sequoia green and midnight) I dismissed the midnight as I wanted a bit of colour and eventually stuck with the dark cherry as the colour looked amazing to me in the light but the green was a very very close second. I’d have bought both but I’m trying to be case savvy this year 😜

Nice! Got the sequoia green arriving soon, good to hear it goes well with the sierra blue iPhone. 👌
