Had a blue leather case for my iPhone 12 and it deteriorated really quickly. At the current quality, I think it’s probably for the best that they discontinue the line…

The reason I bought it was a friend of mine who had a really nice one for the X. Not sure if they cut back on quality or if the square corners aged more poorly. But after a few months, the 12’s case looked much worse than it had any right to at MSRP.

Rocking a Peak Design case right now, by the way. Absolutely loving the quality, and the fabric gives off a premium feel as well.

The older ones were much better and the quality you mentioned isn't acceptable (especially for the prices they charge for them).

I had the black leather one and the quality and fitment of the case was horrible, ended up switching to a Nomad case which did last a lot longer.

I’ll be upgrading to a 14 PM but this time around avoiding the Apple cases.

Has nothing to do with the square corners. They started making leather cases with the 5s, and they were fantastic.
