Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and these are the brand new leather cases from apple they come
in at 59 and they're available for the iphone 12 mini iphone 12 iphone 12 pro and iphone 12 pro max
they're all available in these exact same colors so what we have is California poppy saddle brown
baltic blue black and product red and so let's go ahead and take a look at them i also have the
iphone leather wallet that comes in at the same price 59 so we'll take a look at them see how
they charge see how they protect so let's first open up this California poppy so you can see that
here let's open it up and we'll take this out of the box and see what we've got no wrapping on here
let's see what kind of paperwork we have nothing special and we just have some warranty cards we
won't look at this in any of the other box or boxes here and just a little bit of information
no apple stickers so this is the case itself and it has a nice feel to it before we go around
the outside edge let's open the others so this is the saddle brown like i said
these are a little bit hard to open there's no wrapper around them or anything
saddle brown
we'll move over to baltic blue i imagine this one will look really nice with the new pacific blue
or maybe just the regular blue iphone 12 but it will work on either one
go to black here
and i think that yes they just call it black so no different name or anything like that and one more
red these are the only colors they offer currently now they usually change these seasonally so maybe
we'll get some in the spring of next year and again red or product red that's a very vibrant red
so let's set those aside and take a closer look at the cases so the cases as you can see them
here i think they all look really good they have a very soft feel to them they're really nice
you also have it looks like metal buttons like we've had before so you have a metal power button
on the bottom it is covered so just like this your silicon cases or silicone cases rather
it has a covering but instead of having the little holes punched out it has a little opening cut out
for the leather and then on this side again we get metal buttons which is really nice we'll try them
out in a moment an opening for your silent switch an opening opening for the camera with a plastic
rim around it just like the silicone cases and then also a mag magsafe magnet in here as well
now there's been some stories saying that it will wear into the back of the leather
i'm sure that will happen the leather will wear over time and sort of get a patina on it and i
expect that if you're using bag safe as well now let's take a closer look at the magnets then we'll
put it on the phone and take a look at it there so here is some magnet paper we'll just put it
over the different cases you'll see as i move it back and forth you can see where the magnets are
aligned so just like everything before we've got a magnet here to hold on to magsafe and then also
this bottom magnet is for alignment so you use that for alignment with probably the leather
wallet like i said we'll take a look at in a moment so those are the magnets let's go ahead
and attach magsafe see how well it holds on there it's on there pretty good about the same as it is
with an iphone so that's nice and then like i said the case feels fairly nice it's soft
premium and it has a microfiber lining inside let me go ahead and put it on the iphone 12 pro here
in blue so it's a little bit of a clash of color there but again you've got a nice cut out for
everything on the bottom with protection all the way around which is always nice
now let's take this one off and let's try blue on here so this is blue with pacific
blue i think it matches nicely and then i also have an iphone 12 in blue so let's try that one
and see what it looks like so here's an iphone 12 so i think this baltic blue goes better with
pacific blue but either way you pick what you like let's go ahead and set that aside
so we'll put the blue one back on and again we have a nice cut out here and when you put it on
you'll get sort of a notification that you're putting the case on for each color so let me show
you that see if i can dismiss some things here there we go put this on and you'll see it's got a
blue background to sort of match let me show you with red so you can see it a little bit closer
put red on here and now we've got red so it will do that with every single color you put this on
so again let's switch back to blue and
take a closer look so the buttons they're nice and clicky they were a little bit mushy with the clear
case so i've been using the clear case and with the clear case the buttons are very mushy here
they feel very clicky which is always nice and the volume buttons are clicky so it feels like a much
more premium case and apparently i'm taking photos now too but it feels like a much more premium case
and it should be it's sixty dollars or so fifty nine dollars and it is a little bit
challenging to get in here and flip the silent switch so if you have big fingers like me that
is a little bit challenging but let's see if we can charge it with magsafe shouldn't be a problem
there we go and if we're at the home screen we'll put this on
and there we go so you'll see the animation it works fine let's try it with a non-magsafe charger
should work just fine but here i have a ravpower charger just a cheap one i can link in the
description as well and there we go it's charging so it will charge with any wireless qi charger of
course we expected that but you won't get the faster charge like you will with the 15 watt
magsafe charger if you're using this so you'll just get a little bit better speed with this
now as far as the colors of course they're very nice it does have some lay on the table protection
there's a little bit of a rim here to protect the front of the phone if you're not using a screen
protector and one of the nice things with the iphone 12 and 12 pro when you are using a screen
protector the screen protector is usually flat and goes edge to edge so you don't even really
know you're using it it's really nice now also let's take a closer look at this leather wallet
so we'll open this up here and i haven't seen one of these in person this is the first time
i'm opening it inside the box we've got some paperwork same sort of idea as we get with the
cases and then inside here i guess we push up here inside here it just shows you you can put these
your cards in there and this does have shielding for your cards because there's
magnets in here it shouldn't erase your cards or anything like that because it will shield them
from the magnets in here so if you want to match the saddle brown with it of course that's going to
look really nice it's not stuck on there terribly hard so it is easy to get off and i'm i'm thinking
that's on purpose so that you can put it on there when you want to use the phone like this so
if you want to put it on the back of the blue case put it on there when you're using the phone
and it recognized that as well so let me show you that so as soon as i put the wallet on it
recognized that there's a wallet and it had kind of a neat animation i'll do that one more time
and you'll see it's sort of the same size so the nice thing is in here there's a magnetometer and
nfc it recognizes what's being attached to it so i think it's on purpose that it doesn't hang on
there very tightly it will hold up to about three cards so let me try that so i have my apple card
which is highly stained from a previous wallet and then i've got two tesla keys to my tesla
so let's go ahead and place these in and they seem to fit just fine now if you put
these on here like i said if you were using this i think it's fine but to slide it into a pocket i
don't think it's going to take a whole lot to knock these off it's not on there very tight
so that's one thing that you may or may not like i think the idea is to just use it like this
you are going to have to take it off when you want to charge anyway so you can't use it that way and
then when you want to get your cards out you can just slide them up it works pretty good and i
think it's nice it's not for everyone but i know some people that really like minimal wallets and
this may work great for them but again it's not going to stay super secure on here it's more for
when i think you're using the phone so that makes more sense to me anyway now as far as the magnets
within the wallet themselves well i think that's like i said there's that bottom line to keep it
from rotating so if i take this off here take a look with the magnet paper you can see you do have
that line on the bottom of it so let me flip it over there's a little bit less glare you can see
the line on the bottom there and then if i bring it to the front let me take the cards out here
and set those aside and see if we have any magnets on the front so they've shielded i'm
not i'm not picking up any magnets whatsoever on the front so they've shielded it somehow using
the internal lining of the leather to keep you from having magnetic fields get to your card so
that's pretty nice that they've been able to do that now as far as all of the different cases
they feel great they are a little bit more slippery than the silicone case but they do
feel more premium than the silicone case as well of course if you don't want leather you have the
silicone option or third-party options as well and again they're available for the mini the 12
the 12 pro and the 12 pro mac so all the same cost for all the ones you get i picked these up
at the local apple store as they were available today and so i think they look pretty good let
me know what color you like in the comments below and if you're picking up a leather case from apple
or sticking with another brand case i'd love to hear from you there as well if you'd like to get
your hands on the wallpaper i have in this video of course i'll link it in the description like
