Kind of glad that I went with a Spigen case, instead. I can’t justify $60 for a case that is so delicate.
Been a Spigen fan for about 5-6 years now. Honestly, I have the liquid crystal clear case, along with the EZ fit tempered glass, on my 14 and have dropped a couple of times without any damage.
But what about yellowing? This is the sole reason I never buy one. Once a yellow-proof case comes out for the 12 pro, I’m all in.
“You’re putting it in your pocket wrong”
You reminded me of when I started having keyboard problems with my 2017 MBP. Went to local Apple Store and assistant asked why I hadn’t yet tried using compressed air between the keys. Because obviously (/s) that has always been necessary after using a keyboard for only three months.
“Putting it in your pocket wrong” is so going to be on their response script on this one!
I’ll be sticking with Bullstrap for the foreseeable future. Apple’s cases have always seemed like a sucker’s move, to me.
Damn. I ordered one for the pro max. I guess just treat it like crap till it falls apart
Return it, it is really not worth the premium price. Get a much cheaper Spigen or any other case.
I bought a few cases from Vaja https://row.vajacases.com in the past, like past past for my MP3 white iPod none click scroll wheel and a Zen audio player both still look good to this day, don’t have a recent case but worth a 👀
The leather cases had their problems, but when leather gets old, it at least looks nice — a scuffed, dusty fabric case will not.
Proper leather does.
Apple’s didn’t.
I’m all for real leather. Real leather lasts and holds up well.
Apple’s last several leather cases were some of the worst quality leather I’ve ever seen. I don’t know how you got years out of one. 6 months seems ludicrously optimistic.
I think they were good when they first came out and became cheaper over the years. It’s ok though I’m perfectly happy purchasing a higher quality leather case from a 3rd party although I’m using a silicone one right now.
The second it gets sticky or begins degrading I’ll replace it though.
The best thing we can do for the environment is use things for a long time.
The only Apple leather case I ever bought ended up in landfill three months later. They’re nowhere near as durable as plastic cases, which I usually sell with my phone after using it for a few years.
I’m sure it lasts if you’re gentle with it… but so will any other well made case. Apple says the leather case environmental impact was too high, and they would know since they make it.
