iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro Leather Cases with MagSafe

Hi everyone,  

These are  the brand new leather cases from apple they come  in at 59 and they’re available for the iphone 12  mini iphone 12 iphone 12 pro and iphone 12 pro max  they’re all available in these exact same colors  so what we have is California poppy saddle brown  Baltic blue black and product red and so let’s  go ahead and take a look at them I also have the  iphone leather wallet that comes in at the same  price 59 so well take a look at them see how  they charge see how they protect so let’s first  open up this California poppy so you can see that  here lets open it up and well take this out of  the box and see what we’ve got no wrapping on here  let’s see what kind of paperwork we have nothing  special and we just have some warranty cards we  won’t look at this in any of the other box or  boxes here and just a little bit of information  no apple stickers so this is the case itself  and it has a nice feel to it before we go around  the outside edge lets open the others  so this is the saddle brown like I said.

These are a little bit hard to open  there’s no wrapper around them or anything saddle brown well move over to Baltic blue I imagine this one  will look really nice with the new pacific blue  or maybe just the regular blue iphone  12 but it will work on either one go to black here and I think that yes they just call it black so no  different name or anything like that and one more  red these are the only colors they offer currently  now they usually change these seasonally so maybe   well get some in the spring of next year and  again red or product red that’s a very vibrant red  so let’s set those aside and take a closer look  at the cases so the cases as you can see them  here I think they all look really good they have  a very soft feel to them they’re really nice.

You also have it looks like metal buttons like  we’ve had before so you have a metal power button  on the bottom it is covered so just like this  your silicon cases or silicone cases rather  it has a covering but instead of having the little  holes punched out it has a little opening cut out  for the leather and then on this side again we get  metal buttons which is really nice well try them  out in a moment an opening for your silent switch  an opening for the camera with a plastic  rim around it just like the silicone cases and  then also a mag magsafe magnet in here as well  now there’s been some stories saying that  it will wear into the back of the leather  I’m sure that will happen the leather will wear  over time and sort of get a patina on it and I  expect that if you’re using bag safe as well now  let’s take a closer look at the magnets then well  put it on the phone and take a look at it there.  

So here is some magnet paper well just put it  over the different cases you’ll see as I move it  back and forth you can see where the magnets are  aligned so just like everything before we’ve got  a magnet here to hold on to magsafe and then also  this bottom magnet is for alignment so you use  that for alignment with probably the leather  wallet like I said well take a look at in a  moment so those are the magnets lets go ahead  and attach magsafe see how well it holds on their  it’s on their pretty good about the same as it is  with an iphone so that’s nice and then like  I said the case feels fairly nice its soft  premium and it has a microfiber lining inside let  me go ahead and put it on the iphone 12 pro here in blue so it’s a little bit of a clash of color  there but again you’ve got a nice cut out for  everything on the bottom with protection  all the way around which is always nice  now let’s take this one off and let’s try  blue on here so this is blue with pacific  blue I think it matches nicely and then I also  have an iphone 12 in blue so let’s try that one.

  

and see what it looks like so here’s an iphone  12 so I think this Baltic blue goes better with  pacific blue but either way you pick what  you like lets go ahead and set that aside  so well put the blue one back on and again we  have a nice cut out here and when you put it on  you’ll get sort of a notification that you’re  putting the case on for each color so let me show  you that see if I can dismiss some things here  there we go put this on and you’ll see it’s got a  blue background to sort of match let me show you  with red so you can see it a little bit closer  put red on here and now we’ve got red so it will  do that with every single color you put this on  so again lets switch back to blue and  take a closer look so the buttons they’re nice and  clicky they were a little bit mushy with the clear  case so I’ve been using the clear case and with  the clear case the buttons are very mushy here.  

They feel very clicky which is always nice and the  volume buttons are clicky so it feels like a much  more premium case and apparently I’m taking photos  now too but it feels like a much more premium case  and it should be its sixty dollars or so  fifty nine dollars and it is a little bit  challenging to get in here and flip the silent  switch so if you have big fingers like me that  is a little bit challenging but let’s see if we  can charge it with magsafe shouldn’t be a problem there we go and if were at the  home screen well put this on and there we go so you’ll see the animation it  works fine let’s try it with a non-magsafe charger  should work just fine but here I have a ravpower  charger just a cheap one as well and there we go its charging  so it will charge with any wireless qi charger of  course we expected that but you won’t get the  faster charge like you will with the 15 watt  magsafe charger if you’re using this so you’ll  just get a little bit better speed with this  now as far as the colors of course they’re very  nice it does have some lay on the table protection.

  

There’s a little bit of a rim here to protect the  front of the phone if you’re not using a screen  protector and one of the nice things with the  iphone 12 and 12 pro when you are using a screen  protector the screen protector is usually flat  and goes edge to edge so you don’t even really  know you’re using it its really nice now also  lets take a closer look at this leather wallet  so well open this up here and I haven’t seen  one of these in person this is the first time  I’m opening it inside the box we’ve got some  paperwork same sort of idea as we get with the  cases and then inside here I guess we push up here  inside here it just shows you can put these  your cards in there and this does have  shielding for your cards because there’s  magnets in here it shouldn’t erase your cards or  anything like that because it will shield them  from the magnets in here so if you want to match  the saddle brown with it of course that’s going to  look really nice it’s not stuck on their terribly  hard so it is easy to get off and I’m thinking.

That’s on purpose so that you can put it on  there when you want to use the phone like this so  if you want to put it on the back of the blue  case put it on there when you’re using the phone  and it recognized that as well so let me show  you that so as soon as I put the wallet on it  recognized that there’s a wallet and it had kind  of a neat animation I’ll do that one more time and you’ll see its sort of the same size so the  nice thing is in here there’s a magnetometer and   it recognizes what’s being attached to it so  I think it’s on purpose that it doesn’t hang on  there very tightly it will hold up to about three  cards so let me try that so I have my apple card  which is highly stained from a previous wallet  and then I’ve got two tesla keys to my tesla.

So let’s go ahead and place these in and  they seem to fit just fine now if you put  these on here like I said if you were using this  I think its fine but to slide it into a pocket I  don’t think it’s going to take a whole lot to  knock these off its not on their very tight  so that’s one thing that you may or may not like  I think the idea is to just use it like this  you are going to have to take it off when you want  to charge anyway so you can’t use it that way and  then when you want to get your cards out you can  just slide them up it works pretty good and I think it’s nice it’s not for everyone but I know  some people that really like minimal wallets and  this may work great for them but again it’s not  going to stay super secure on here its more for  when I think you’re using the phone so that makes  more sense to me anyway now as far as the magnets  within the wallet themselves well I think that’s  like I said there’s that bottom line to keep it.

  

from rotating so if I take this off here take a  look with the magnet paper you can see you do have  that line on the bottom of it so let me flip it  over there’s a little bit less glare you can see  the line on the bottom there and then if I bring  it to the front let me take the cards out here  and set those aside and see if we have any  magnets on the front so they’ve shielded I’m  not I’m not picking up any magnets whatsoever on  the front so they’ve shielded it somehow using  the internal lining of the leather to keep you  from having magnetic fields get to your card so  that’s pretty nice that they’ve been able to do  that now as far as all of the different cases  they feel great they are a little bit more  slippery than the silicone case but they do.

  

Feel more premium than the silicone case as well  of course if you don’t want leather you have the  silicone option or third-party options as well  and again they’re available for the mini the 12  the 12 pro and the 12 pro mac so all the same  cost for all the ones you get I picked these up  at the local apple store as they were available  today and so I think they look pretty good let  me know what color you like in the comments below  and if you’re picking up a leather case from apple  or sticking with another brand case I’d love to  hear from you there as well if you’d like to get  your hands on the wallpaper.
