Read from the Apple leather case patina thread in other forum. Some say that the material used in iPhone 12 leather case this year is somehow different from iPhone X/11 etc and doubt on whether the leather’s patina will happen. I guess we have to just wait and continue to use and observe it...

I have the XS Max leather and silicon. Both also the materials are different than this year's leather and silicone even. I feel the material looks better this year.

to double tap open MySejahtera app. follow the steps below:

    Go to the Shortcuts app
    Tap the + icon on the top right side
    Tap “Add Action”
    Tap “Scripting”
    Tap “Open App”
    Tap “Choose” to type in MySejahtera
    Tap “Next” on the top right
    Type in your Shortcut name. It could be anything, but we’d suggest “MySejahtera” so that you won’t get confused
    Tap “Done”
    Once you’re done with the Shortcuts app, find the Settings app
    Tap “Accessibility”
    Tap “Touch”, scroll down and tap “Back Tap”
    Press on “Double Tap”
    Scroll down to find MySejahtera in the Shortcuts section. Tap on the option
    You can now access MySejahtera by double tapping the back of your iPhone!

It works.. but real life usage for me, few caveats.

It needs to be unlock first. FaceID isn't helpful, then most of the time, i'm double tapping like mad. End up firing up the search and open app is faster. I given up on the double tap.

There's no point to resist. Resistance is futile....

Anyway, the case is really good, why resist? whistling.gif





Anyone interested with Anker 20W charger? 12/12 sale on Lazada is RM60. Shopee nothing yet. Earlier i bought it at RM53 on Shopee flash sale though.

hi
those with leather case. do you all sanitize your leather case everyday?
coz I used to sanitize my plastic case everyday because of c19 😅

If i go out.... just a normal clean cloth and wipe. Cause i use hand sanitiser to keep my hands clean and don't pass the phone to others.

iPhone case—leather

The leather iPhone case is made from natural leather. Its appearance will change as you use it. It might acquire a patina and might change color due to the oils from your skin and direct sunlight, further enhancing the natural look.

Cleaning the leather iPhone case might affect its color. If you choose to clean this case, first remove it from your iPhone. Use a clean cloth with warm water and mild hand soap to gently clean the iPhone case. You can also use a mild cleaner along with a dry clean cloth. Leather cleaners and conditioners can change the color of leather.

Keep your iPhone case away from prolonged intense sunlight, heat, and humidity. Exposure to water, oil, makeup, and dyed materials (such as denim) can stain tanned leathers.

Ignore the date, it will come within 3-4 days. All of us who bought online can testify this. Someone bought on Tuesday already received today. There were people got within 3 days. Mine received a week earlier than ETA. However, ours is leather case but shouldn’t vary much as it’s Apple, famous to deliver much earlier than ETA.
Good. For the price, I guess nothing to be complained about. I will buy one then.

Haha... looks like my poison working on you.

Tried the 12 Pro Max for 3 weeks then passed it to my wife and bought a 12. I like the size and the weight of the 12 vs the 12 Pro Max, but the battery life is decidedly average vs the 12 Pro Max. Decided not to get the 12 Pro coz I didn't think it's worth paying RM800 more for that over the 12.
Congrats! thumbup.gif
Nice boot camp there! Should include the estimated pricing for all those items and get TS to pin it onto the first post, hahaha...
Those coming from 11 Pro Max won't feel that much of a difference vs the 12 Pro Max, maybe except for the slightly worse battery life.

Pssstttt... the whole idea is NOT sharing prices.

Let the poison seeps in, then resistance is futile!!

Yours also has the lint trapped at the screen protector edges and the case. Same like mine. Damn annoying. I always need to brush it out with a paint brush.

Same here. Always have dust stuck in between the screen protector and casing.

My Apple leather + HODA Sapphire seems good. The gap between screen protector and case is quite fitting. Usually lint is everywhere on my XS max x-one screen protector.

Just received. Trying out Anker fast charger PowerPort 3 Nano now. 20W. Got it got RM60 on 12.12. If I use voucher can get at RM55 but I tried few times the voucher hang so I just got it at 60.

Rumoured to be 0-50% in 30mins

I got this at RM Shopee flash sale before iPhone 12 preorder. It’s black, been using it. So far so good.

sapphire ftw!!!!!!!, scratched my flolab while waiting sapphire glass to arrive

So that’s the real reason for your switch. Mobilerevieweh reviews been good for flolab. Defective unit u had?

Sapphire is 9H, but drop impact is lower. Hybrid glass is 6H mainly. It’s your call, drop protection or scratch resistant.

It had nothing to do you rich or poor.

The main point is how you take care the device.

Screen Protector is totally rubbish thing to me. It make your screen look shit.

Tempered Glass not that bad but it increase weight and thickness with cut at edge or hold for camera, this is freaking ugly.
The uniform is totally gone here.

If can without using case even better but I can't hold it 100% safe due to material using now.
So the only I will using is case for phone.

Watch I find it is unnecessary, since when everything also need screen protector or case, sorry to said I find it very silly in my opinion.
Did you seen anyone using case or screen protector or tempered glass for classic watch not smart watch.
No right? and anytime those watch is few times expensive than smart watch.

I can only said marketing is very successful in selling the screen protector or tempered glass and make nearly everyone feel not safe without it.
15 or 20 years ago is thing came with it? Definitely not and people still use it solid in very mint condition and no issue.
*
Well, I agree how you say, it depends how you take care the device. But accident(s) do happen.

When i had iphone 7 plus, i dropped my phone 3 times, saved by screen protectors. Each was roughly less than RM60-80. If I dropped it, the screen itself will be likely unusable, takes time and effort to repair it and pretty costly to repair.

On my iPhone XS Max, few times near misses but I managed to keep it drop free 2 years I'm using it.

Just use it until it becomes bad. IMOS or Hoda Sapphire. So far forumers all been using Hoda Sapphire including myself.

Thanks for the feedback.. I saw the website for Machine they are selling hoda .. how was it comparison to otterbox/flolab? Saw earlier post a lot of ppl buying flolab..thanks
*
Hoda sold in Machines are tempered glass. Just a sheet of glass. It's easily able to chip. Flolab and otterbox is a mixed hybrid glass.


QUOTE(attw @ Dec 20 2020, 10:21 PM)
Haha, I'm also tempted by the Apple Leather case since being overexposed to the massive amount of poison here! Will wait to try my Nomad leather case first and if I don't like it then I might go get the leather case smile.gif
Congrats! Or rather, congrats to your wife! Gold is pretty nice, I had it for my XS Max except I don't quite like the gold stainless steel frames - like you said, a bit too bling bling for my taste too!
Is the back clear clear or matte clear? laugh.gif

Choose the color and order Apple leather case, cause by the time it comes, u would want to swap Nomad out. whistling.gif

thanks for the comment. I did checked flolab but the delivery time is > 14days, means I have to use the phone without screen protector.  rclxub.gif

I am looking at sapphire cos I expect it provide better screen protection but local selling RM290.. is too expensive. I just want to make sure the screen protector works when accident happen.. Touch wood.. if the screen protector failed to protect screen...  bangwall.gif . I am ok with minor scratch even flalob have it from previously replies.  sweat.gif
*
Sapphire main strength is scratch resistant is higher than other materials at 9H, cases like putting keys, coin with your phone. Not better screen protection for impact.

If you are looking for oleophobic coating, probably hybrid type glass with coating is your choice.

Hybrid glass like flolab, rhino shield more towards impact and oleophobic coating. It loses out to scratches.

Check out mobilereviewseh on YouTube. Have a lot of reviews.

Hey guys, wanna ask you guys. How is your 4G network performance after using this new iPhone 12 Pro/Pro Max version compared to previous iPhone you guys use?

I got really shocking and amazing speed when I tested using Speedtest.net.
Even with Opensignal or nPerf speed still the same like Speedtest.net.

Here is my videos of these speedtests where I took in KV.
There's this place in PJ town I got a whooping 600Mbps on Celcom network.  drool.gif

I use iPhone 12 Pro Max by the way.

Came from iPhone XS Max. The intel modem is shit. Sucks out battery, poor performance.

One of the major pull for me to upgrade. Can’t stand the poor performance. Many in iPhone XS Max felt the same.

Sorry, first time Apple user and I never really fussed over warranty but this one I feel is an exception.
