Description
About this item Made from specially tanned and finished leather, the outside feels soft to the touch and develops a natural patina over time. The case quickly snaps into place and fits snugly over your iPhone without adding bulk. With built-in magnets that align perfectly with iPhone 13 mini, this case offers a magical attach and detach experience, every time. The perfectly aligned magnets make wireless charging faster and easier than ever before. And when it’s time to charge, just leave the case on your iPhone and snap on your MagSafe charger, or set it on your Qi-certified charger. Like every Apple-designed case, it undergoes thousands of hours of testing throughout the design and manufacturing process. So not only does it look great, it’s built to protect your iPhone from scratches and drops. This case is made with high-quality, supple leather to protect your iPhone. Leather is a natural material and like a fine leather belt, it may show creases, marks, or a patina over time. Interaction with MagSafe accessories will leave slight imprints (as shown in the last image of the gallery). Compatible with iPhone 13 mini

Not durable, but feels great in hand
I love how the leather feels, it does show wear at corners and grip areas. I personally like the aged look, like an old bomber jacket… but some people may not like this. Also, it’s leather, it tears is dropped. Not much of a lip to protect the screen

Not the worst, but far from the best!
I would not purchase this case again, even at the lower price I paid of $24.99. There is nothing remarkable about this phone case to put it at the high price point of $59, in my opinion. I have found multiple high quality cases for a fraction of the cost of this case.I chose the color because it was the only option available for $24.99, but this turned out to be one of the things I like about the case. I like the fact that it is easy to recognize in a sea full of black cases, yet still very dark and doesn’t clash with black. I also like how thin the case is. You won’t find another case that’s thinner. I chose the iPhone 13 mini because I prefer the compact size, so a small/thin case is ideal. Being that it is made by Apple, the case is perfectly fitted for the phone as well. This is where the positives end.I was looking specifically for a MagSafe case, so I could use my PopGrip for MagSafe and also my MagSafe Charger & Mount in my vehicle. Being an Apple product, I was pretty surprised to see that this case has the least secure attachment to my MagSafe items of any case I have used. Both the PopGrip and the Charger/Mount randomly detach while using. I never have this issue with the cheap, non-Apple brand MagSafe case that I have been using for several months.As mentioned above, this case is extremely thin. This is great in some ways, but not good if you’re wanting a case to protect your phone. It is not raised enough around the edges of the front or the back to protect the screen and the camera lenses. My screen protector is at the same level as the case, so even the slightest drop will leave the screen protector shattered. Little bumps against anything starts chipping away at the bottom and top edges of the screen protector, even just from pulling it in and out of a pocket regularly (which can be difficult to do because of the anti-slip material). I had to stop using the case immediately when I realized that my pop socket was the only thing that was keeping the camera lenses somewhat protected.I admit that I do drop my phone fairly often, so this case could work for a person who knows they will never drop their phone. Keep in mind that it might fall if you are holding it with a MagSafe pop socket.

Looks and feels great
Love the look and feel of it. It’s starting to get a circle where the MagSafe charger attaches, but that’s fine and expected.

Very nice. Feels and looks great!
I love this case. It feels and looks great. Much nicer than the cheap Amazon case I was using before. I usually hate cases because they ruin the feel of the phone in my hand. This case fixes that problem and looks stunning to boot! Fit is tight, and the case is thin enough that using it feels good—not bulky at all. My screen protector fits fine with the case. The front lip is raised enough for me to comfortably set down the phone screen-down but still low enough to swipe from the edge comfortably. The back lip around the camera bump is high enough that it clears the lenses better than my previous case. It still feels nice in my pocket. MagSafe charging has worked well for me. I worry about the heat prematurely degrading the battery, so I charge it face-down so the heat from the charger can more easily dissipate. That hasn’t been a noticeable problem, nor does it seem unreasonably hot, but I like to be safe. The case is somewhat difficult to remove. Overall I am glad I spent the money on it. It is improving my experience owning the phone.

good price good quality
I got this on sale for only 25 bucks. It was a steal from the retail $59. For $59 it is much harder to recommend. However for an on-sale price, you get a good case that has several color options, official branding if you are into representing your preferred smartphone seller, and the interesting animation that plays on your device when you put on the actual case, that is not present on other phone cases for the iPhone sold by non-Apple manufacturers. This case is not particularly protective, but looks quite good, and the leather is soft and not slippery. I would not recommend getting this product wet, as wet leather is not typically a desirable material. Overall, if this case is not on sale or the color you want is not on sale, either hold off until it is, or buy it full price if you love Apple. If you have no attachment to the brand, there are likely better options out there within the $59 price range, in terms of sheer durability.

Feels like new
Hard to tell how this is different from new. Got a discount for essentially a brand new case. Seems genuine based on MagSafe recognition. Great value

Nice Fit!
First off, yes it’s an expensive case but it is real leather. Luckily I had my Amazon rewards credits to help reduce the cost a bit. This case replaced a non MagSafe silicone case and I’m shocked how thin the leather is. I like my phone not being bulky and why I chose a 13 Mini, so this case is a pleasant surprise. It looks great and I like the Sequoia Green color. The metal side buttons are a nice touch. My only negatives are that it won’t provide much drop protection, then again it’s not advertised for that and really more for scratch protection. The leather also seems a bit slippery, more slippery than my silicone case and I felt that was too slippery. I have to wonder if Apple should have added a camera lens protector to this case. It has a lip to prevent them touching a surface but if you drop the phone outside, the lenses could easily hit the edge of a rock and if not crack, get scratched.

Doesn’t fit around camera
Bought the iPhone 13 mini leather case listed as “new in packaging.” Item came clearly used/dirty. Does not fit around the camera on the back of my phone. For a $50+ phone case straight from Apple, it should fit perfectly, but it doesn’t.

See video – Don’t get the golden brown
Loved this case when I first got it. However, within one week the case got so dirty looking that it’s rather disgusting. No, I’m not in construction. Nor am I an oil driller. I’m a software engineer. The phone is usually on my desk or in my pocket. I have now had this case for a little more than a month and I’m already looking for a replacement because it just looks filthy. Perhaps the other colors do not show dirt as badly as the golden brown does.The video is one year after purchase. Have you ever had leather look THIS bad after a year?

I wasn’t comfortable with my first case and debated about getting this case. Glad I got it, seems to have more protection and it’s MagSafe so I got a wallet that’s MagSafe compatible.

Does not appear to be real Apple product
Case was half the price of other cases listed in same store. I bit, it’s not horrible quality, but it does feel authentic. Power port window is off by just enough so plug has to be jimmied in. Overall, if you are looking for an authentic Apple case, this ain’t it.

Waste of money
I purchased this case for my husband for Father’s Day and I wish I would have gone with a different option. This is a waste of money and scratches, scuffs, damages SUPER EASY! I will already be ordering a different brand of case soon because this one is pretty tore up and an eye sore already. The case also appears to break off small chunks around the edges/corners if it is dropped and lands on an edge.

The case looked great to begin with but within 6 months it showed significant signs of wear that were impossible to fix with leather cleaner/conditioner. For the price, I would expect the case to last longer.

Vaguely magnetic, dysfunctional routing
Maybe this one is on me, but I thought since it was compatible with MagSafe there would be a strong enough force to keep it on my dash mount holder. Instead it was usually on the floor or somewhere in or around the center console. I had to hold it while making almost all turns. Also, much more annoyingly, the little space routed in for the ring/silent switch is both too small and too deep, making it extremely difficult and a little painful to flip it into silent (which is almost always the more pressing direction). Again, I guess this is on me for biting my nails short—for folks with falsies maybe this’ll be a dream come true.

Good case
So far I’m satisfied, a friend bought the same case and found it too “slippery” but I haven’t had that problem. Fits and protects my phone great, a little hard to pry off when you want to take out/put in the SIM card but that’s to be expected. Basic, understated design which is what I wanted.

Short return window
I do not recommend buying this u less you are 100% sure it’s what you want. It’s not a bad cover. However, after it arrived, I saw that the color wasn’t what I wanted and tried to return it. I was within the normal 30 day window. However, this item has a shorter return window, which I missed by one day. Avoid my expensive mistake and read the fine print.

Good protection MagSafe is awesome
I’ve dropped this phone severel times with this case and it seems to have protected it quite well.I also use a MagSafe wallet with this case and I really like how the colors match exactly.It’s expensive but I hope to keep this phone for a few years.It feels really good in the hand as well sticky but not in a gross way it just doesn’t fall out of you hand as much as plastic cases do.It’s starting to wear a bit on the edges and thus far I like how it looks going to a deeper brown in the places I touch it most.

Phone case is worth the extra cheddah.
I like this case from Apple. I have a couple of Mag chargers and I really like that I can just drop the phone onto one and have it charged up in no time. I would probably have chosen another color if I had seen this in person, but that, dear reader, is a blatantly subjective opinion, and I probably shouldn’t even say anything. Overall, this case has served me well.

Wow
Having owned many cheap phone covers, this is by far the nicest. It feels amazing! I cannot speak to the protection as I have not dropped my phone yet, but the feel of this case is top of the line. Got it on sale, so it has been worth it so far. Even if it does not last long, I will probably buy another (on sale).

Can’t beat Apple quality
I used to try to buy cheaper cases because I couldn’t see paying $50 for a case, however, if you don’t drop your phone all the time these cases seem to last for at least a year to two years. The buttons in the mag safe magnet are phenomenal, better than on any other case. If you don’t want to spend $50 just wait for them to go on sale, just keep an eye out they typically fluctuate in price.

Great case that won’t slip out of your hands
Love this case. It is slim line and allows me to use magsafe (mount on my dashboard, wireless charge at my desk) yet has a nice finish. Unlike many of the other magsafe options, the texture is also tactile, so it not only looks great but has grip so it doesn’t slip out of your hands. Highly recommend

Intense color, tight fit, big front lip
Update: the “golden brown” is too much color… it’s neither golden nor brown… it is pumpkin orange, it’s more intense than pictured and I’m over it hah. The case is just too bulky for the mini, the front lip feels gross and would be even more pronounced if I didn’t have a screen protector on. I’ll get a different color or look for a slimmer case.After some careful shopping I found a much thinner TPU case and wow! For about $10 it is so much better than this case. I can’t believe how much Apple charges for these. The TPU case even feels better than the leather and without the heft and bulk. Glad I returned it.—When the case it installed there’s is a lip around the screen that doesn’t feel so nice with some of the edge gestures. Fits nicely but difficult to get in and out.Even though it only adds a little thickness, it does detract from the mini’s sportiness and easy of use with one hand.

Overall great!
Love the wisteria color, although I do wish Apple would make a brighter, more saturated purple. Easy to get on and off, looks great. The leather must be paper thin to achieve such a slim case, but I guess that’s a necessity if I don’t want the big, bulky style of case I hate. I’m not a huge fan of the lip around the screen as I usually go commando on my phones, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it. A little overpriced for what you get, but that’s Apple for you…no surprises there lol. Overall I approve!

Best leather case for iPhones
Even though this case, requires you to put the whole phone inside of it, making it a little difficult to take it out, it’s still one of the best cases you can get

Awesome case
These cases are tough and worth the money IMO. I have had one for every iPhone I have owned and they look good, age well, provide adequate protection, and have a nice texture. A little pricey, but it’s typical Apple quality. The cool part is probably silly, but when you put the case on, the MagSafe ring is activated and the screen shows you a MagSafe ring with the color of the case you are putting on your phone. Nice creative touch and typical masterful execution of Apple hardware and software synergy.

Ok
This is what the case looks like after 2 months of use. I’m honestly NOT impressed for the price tag. Not even close to how good the iPhone X leather cases were back then. They “age” really weirdly and don’t have a good look around the edges. I won’t be buying the same color again.Update ~1 year later:Bought the black version of it. Let’s see if this one “ages” better. See pictures for comparison.
