    Oh how I wish apple cases were made how they used to be, they look great but expect blemishes and chips within a few months. I bought one when the 14 released it didn’t last more than 12 months before it was so bad I had to change it out of embarrassment.

      The blemishes are a good thing https://www.maxwellscottbags.com/journal/leather-patina/

      The chips less so, but you did drop your phone yeah?

      • +6

        I know the differences between good blemishes and bad, trust me these ones made the case look worse otherwise I wouldn’t be noting them.

        A couple chips were due to dropping - and I get it, that would happen with any case. What concerns me are the chips that developed just from bits peeling away.

        I get what you’re saying overall but these were definitely quality flaws.

        • The edges of mine look like this one https://imgur.com/a/cGfLYa2 and this one https://imgur.com/a/8SqKTrY and I like it. I have no peeling and have been handling it all day every day for like 11 months now.

          • @AustriaBargain: Same. Mine looks identical. Back still looks pristine after a year. It’s hard wearing and haven’t experienced the peeling or chips or scratches that others have.

          • @AustriaBargain: Yep that’s exactly it. See how it’s showing black? It just gets worse and worse. The previous cases didn’t do that, they just showed leather patina.

              @onlinepred: I still like it. Looks rugged, like my case has seen some shit.

              • +1

                @AustriaBargain: Not long from now, your phone case will look like it has seen too much shit. While the older cases would start to get a nice patina

        Most, if not all, Apple cases from the iPhone 12 onwards don’t patina naturally. The leather is treated. Some people have luck achieving a reasonable result using sandpaper to take a layer off the case, but as many people stuff their case up. If you want a patina look at brands like Andar or Bullstrap which aren’t cheap, but neither is the Apple leather case.

        I can only assume Apple did this because as can be seen in this post even, some people want their leather case to remain like new and don’t want it to patina. Personally I think it’s disappointing, especially on some of the tan colours and the like that used to age beautifully.

        My previous iPhone 12 leather case mechanically held up just fine for the two years I used it and didn’t fall apart so I found it fine in that regard, but it never got a nice patina.

        • Patina stopped at the 6s, from memory, when they moved to the metal buttons on the 7 and later. Disappointing as the old cases, for iPhone and iPad, were beautiful.

      Can’t agree more. Have both the leather and silicone ones. These are no longer of the quality they used to be.

    • +1

      For what it’s worth, I’ve got the dark blue “ink” one and still looks as good as new nearly a year later - pretty sure I paid less that $59 for it too

      • i was just going to say this. same for me. my ink leather case still looks good even after i dropped it will cycling.

    • Chips are covered by Apple warranty for 12 months

    • Yep, 100%.

      Back in the day they aged so well!

      Now they are trash.

      They dont even make the leather ones for non-pro iPhone last time I looked.

    • Mine lasted 2-3 months before the edges lost their colour and the case started to look worn and ugly. Wouldn’t recommend.

    • I agree. The old Apple leather case would patina naturally and looked awesome when worn in.

    • Returned my slightly cracked transparent iPhone 14 case to the Apple Store (Southland, VIC) over the weekend, as it's only 10 months old. However, they didn't provide a replacement. The Genius Bar member showed us a complex document on his iPad mini, indicating that if there's wear near the crack, the warranty isn't valid. Talking to another team member, I expressed my disappointment given the $80 cost, and he indirectly mentioned that people's expectations have changed, and Apple can't maintain their previous standards.

      In my opinion, if Apple can't maintain the level of service I'm used to, I won't continue paying their inflated prices.

      • he indirectly mentioned that people's expectations have changed, and Apple can't maintain their previous standards.

        Unsure why I expected better from the most valuable company on the planet. One that has hundreds of billions of dollars banked too.

    • ohhh.. i thought it's just me. Recently found my old iPhone 6 with original leather phone case, absolutely beautiful and aged nicely without much sign of wear.

      my current iphone 13 pro max is barely 2 years old and yet the case is showing signs of discoloration (where the index finger touches just below the camera). this one time i accidentally put my key inside the pocket and it literally shaved off a huge layer…

  • Damnit, I paid full price for this case September last year.

    • You’d be due a new one by now then

      • +2

        Nah, I like the dirty black marks. It's what leather is meant to do. And it is a real sheet of leather thick enough to not flake off like cheap "genuine leather" products do. Still very thin, but thick enough to not fall apart.

    • If you pay full price for anything, you should hand back your OB membership 😉

      • The phone was new and I didn't want to get a cheap case for now while waiting for the leather one to go on sale.

  • +1

    Be prepared for the brown to be black and dirty at the end of the first month.

    • Mmmm….Reviews not that good

    • If they had purple again I would have bought that, but I went for the orangey brown for 14.

  • No iphone 13

    • 14 cases fit the 13

  • Does this case fit the 13 Pro?

    • They’re the same so, so yes

      • camera is bigger but it will fit

  • or $20 on aliexpress

  • i bought the green one and it developed black marks all over the edges, looked pretty bad after about 6 months. Not worth it.

    • Same, I did get Apple to replace mine as it was under warranty but didn't realise this was a thing, so my second case is now showing black.

  • +1

    These reviews are terrible. I always wanted a leather one for my 14 Pro but not now

  • Go bellroy guys

    • $85+ … that is not the same price point.

      • Not the same quality either

        • And cows moo. You would expect something that costs more to be a higher quality or standard.

        • Ok so their pricing is all over the place. Essentially if you want to get a promo case you’ve got to have the right model and some god awful colour that they couldn’t sell. Good luck if you’re into terracotta or a tween who loves a pink polkadot case.

          • @thefud: Right* and black is not a weird colour

            • @abs898: Hey you are 100%. I’d say instead of fighting with an internet stranger, complaining about their lack of fluency with English as a second language, you should post your own OzBargain if they are that much of a steal.

              • -2

                @thefud: There is no fighting because I didn't understand what you were saying. I think if you are quoting colours like terracotta, you should also see it's just their name for the tan brown colour, so I am not targeting your English, but something else if you know what that is.

  • Can't wait for iPhone 15 pro will get this case for it

  • There are quite a few of these cases on Catch for $20 delivered for onepass members

  • will it fit the iphone 15 Pro though? they might change it again and your left with a iphone 14 pro case that don't fit.

  • no deal for ip3 pro?

  • I had some.
    12 pro leather was amazing
    13 pro leather was complete trash

  • Same price at Officeworks

  • Showing as $89
