2 days for the case.
If u were talking about the colour of the case, be informed that one was captured during the day with some sunlight and another was captured at night in bedroom with lighting from the ceiling light.
*
Oh... but then leather supposed to change color tones after awhile. It builds character, some say. But I can't really accept it. Anyhow, Apple leather case for iPhone 12 PM is good, whatever color it is.

Oh it’s Saturday already I need to decide which colour for the leather casing. laugh.gif Should I or shouldn’t I? Saddle Brown or Baltic Blue? laugh.gif

By the way, as repeated gazillions times already, don’t post your personal sales here. It’s a discussion thread and not garage sales.

Appreciate all can help to reminding these people if you see them posting personal sales here. I can’t be here all the time. Thanks. biggrin.gif
*
Option 1: Buy both
Option 2: If you got the blue iPhone, buy Baltic Blue
Option 3: If you got the other colors, buy Saddle Brown
Option 4: Just ignore me and go to the store, see what's available, god may decide for you.
Option 5: Repeat Option 1 to 4

Thanks for the very smart idea. laugh.gif
Hahaha. I’m not that young anymore either but thanks for the suggestion. tongue.gif
I actually want to see patina, that’s the whole purpose. laugh.gif
Yeah, I find Pacific Blue has limited choices of colours when it comes to matching casings.
Wait, can we really do it?

Nike it, “Just do it”

Finally received my sapphire screen protector

Uhm... thought you already got it.

Nice!!!!
Look forward for the feedback after a month usage especially related to oleo coating (The normal hoda glass coating not that good).
*
I’m using Hoda Sapphire, installed on 13th Nov when I got my iPhone. Tag me like one month later.

I shred through my tempered glass and PET screen protector. Oleo coating on PET don’t last long for me.

QUOTE(INGfusion @ Nov 28 2020, 01:08 PM)
not changing first, using flolab at the moment wait flolab rosak first  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif, the coating for this sapphire should be same with imos can last for around 1year+
*
Yup. Sapphire coating last longer. My IMOS on older iPhone lasting till now. 1 year. I decided HODA cause imos is rm250 and hoda now is rm200. Friend recommended HODA sapphire. (Avoid other HODA stuff, there are better options)

I'm giving 5 stars to hoda installation tray, never install screen protector with perfect alignment, even with flolab installation tray the alignment also not so perfect, thumb up for hoda product, but the watermark kinda annoying
*
What watermark? You mean the air bubbles during installation? Bro I'm confused, you said gonna wait until flolab gg? Can't resist? rclxs0.gif

My purse quite thick. So if i wanna go sumwhere and dun want to bring around my handbag with purse inside, then i might consider this leather wallet. Just snap on the wallet behind my phone, keep some cash/card..then go for a short trip to shop.

But the price is 😅
*
Okay, but at least I'm right. With that price, it's too much. Wait for other manufacturers to release their versions.

guys, got my ip12 pro max on 13th nov, for the first week i hv no issues.  woke up at 8am with 100% can tahan until second day afternoon 1pm like that. but now, with the same usage, can use until 9pm the same day only.

Anyone suffer similar issue? I doubt the battery degrade so fast, within 2 weeks of usage?

My serial number starts with F2XXX

Seems funny. It might help, What you could do, is reset all the settings. Set up as new. Maybe some settings are screwing it up.

Silicon case sorry to say, not worth it at all. RM219 vs RM269.

Don't take my word, check with others.

I plan to get a screen protector on the spot only, let them apply it for me. Or any advice?
I’m very careful with my phone punya, my current iphone 7 still shining, only drop it a few times this years.
Now upgrade to bigger size, risk also higher already.

well, most options sold in switch, machine etc are crappy. If you are not that bad in applying yourself, it's worth getting yourself and applying. Good protector nowadays are relatively simple to apply, no bubbles etc.

Anyone interested with a case system? If you are into photography, you should have heard of Peak Design. Their mobile tripod is cool 😎

nice case
this year Apple leather case very famous, wonder why laugh.gif
is it the bottom part cover-up or because of the magsafe sweat.gif
*
It’s the total cover up.. MagSafe is another. You install the case, you get a cool animation. It’s slim fitting, other apple leather for 7 plus, XS max, the feel of holding it is not there.

Taking it off is not a struggle. Only downside is the price, but for leather, I think it’s worth it.

Decided to get Mous Limited 3.0 for outdoor use and Apple leather case for daily casual use.

Can do a review comparison your thoughts Mous vs apple leather case?

I’m wondering anyone has nomad vs apple leather case also?

Decided to buy Hoda sp from sakurazzz using Amex voucher.

I considered Flolab for a bit, but having to pay pricey shipping fees is meh for just one screen protector.

Now to think about case....
*
HODA tempered glass? HODA PET? I don’t really find them any good. So far HODA Sapphire is good.

X-one does a better job for PET. Tempered glass type, rhino shield. I personally didn’t try flolab but others say it’s good.


QUOTE(Nightengale @ Dec 1 2020, 11:32 PM)
honestly i've been going naked for my phones for a long time, and big reason I go with iphone is for the "premium-ness" of holding it in the hand - but with how hefty and slippery iPhone 12 Pro can feel at times, I've been thinking I want something to change it up.

It's a lame requirement, but my main requirement is for the case to feel still thin ( minimal bulk ) while keeping the premium feel of the phone.

So bulky cases are no go, and I don't like the clear case/TPUs that make the case feel like a rigid plastic.

Off the top of my head, the one I've been most interested in since day one is the official Apple Leather - since it finally covers everything, feels premium, has metal buttons so it's clicky, and overall has slim profile even if not like pitaka slim.

Basically comfort of holding on the hand is most important while not overly wrapping the phone in plastic just solely for protection. Need that balance of premium touch and minimal bulk.  rclxs0.gif

Apple leather case.. period. U just decide the color. Follow my guide for fruitie earlier 🤣😂

Well, like I said - I'm used to naked carry, so no particular hurry.

Part of me am hoping we'll see other case makers announce something of equal quality in coming month or two. And more buyer's remorse on Caroussel or something.

If I get the leather case, no California Poppy no talk.  blush.gif

Same advice to fruitie. Nike it, just do it.

Order Apple online, doesn’t take too long.

TG.

I understand from browsing here casually it's not the best option, but there's not much else that I can spend the amex voucher on before it expires. tongue.gif

Hopefully it's at least decent enough. bangwall.gif
*
Since it’s Amex voucher and u know the pro and con, all good.

This is personal experience. I bought it from switch or machines. The feel etc is good. But it’s so easy to chip off. That was on 6 plus, chamfered edge type. iPhone 12 design might be good? But then, no confidence with HODA TG.

PET offers better protection, friend’s iPhone 5s. Hit a sharp object, penetrate through TG and the glass screen. Don’t remember the brand though. Peel off TG, imagine u see a chip on the screen itself. Painful..

Decided to take-off the matte hoda glass and replace with the privacy sapphire.
Although it came without helper, but the installation is easy. I just make the the mous case as guide.

[attachmentid=10712551]

The printed hoda wording at the top left corner not really visible due to privacy.
The oleophobic coating; kinda letdown. Maybe i had too much high expectations. Not that great for me. Just comparable with normal hoda privacy glass on ip11pro.
Anyway as long it does not scratch and last for a year, thats a plus point edy.
*
Strange it didn't come with helper. oleophobic coating is similar with others. I doubt it's "better".

The other difference is it last longer for Sapphire and more resistant to scratches.

If impact proof, Sapphire loses out to hybrid glass like rhinoshield.

IMOS Sapphire, it lasts after 1 year if you compare with PET screen protectors. Hoda Sapphire i have, not sure, will see.
