Some pics from another poster on Reddit! imgur.com/a/XIPTgjM/ See the full discussion on Reddit www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/ml2ual/california_poppy_leather_iphone_case_a_longer/
I’ve had this California Poppy for 7 months and it doesn’t resemble this at all. Mine basically looks new. My friends have the leather case as well and no problem
I’ve just bought a second hand one for fifteen quid. Looks in good nick. Glad I didn’t pay full whack. Will see how It goes. I have the brown and I think these leather cases feel good in the hand.
My wife has one for 5 months now and except for smudges on the corners it looks like a new. And these smudges are easy to remove by any leather care & protect products (like you can buy for a car seats or sofa). Yours does not look like ordinary usage wear & tear at all ... could be your skin chemistry ??
In our country iPhone store we are compulsory to buy This magsafe case.spend 80$ in India and the condition is weary n beat up jst like that.never buy it never in ur life
Well, this is a bit different - The ones that develop a nice patina absorb the oils from your skin over time, and require un-coated leather. This is coated leather, and is simply peeling off. Normally the colour under the coating is a close colour, but in this case they are quite different, making it stand out and not look good at all IMO. Some people like this look, so that's good! Cheers

I was literally about to buy this until I searched and found this video. Thanks for saving me $60+ man! 😁
Glad I could help! Hey some people might like this look. I'm not one of them..
Get a Spigen case, they offer better protection, are cheaper, and don't degrade nearly as quickly as these leather cases
Lol your case looks exactly like mine😂😂
I kinda like this look ! It gives it an industrial hard work look
Hey that's great if you like it! As long as you know what you're going to end up with :)
Looks perfect! Nice natural looking patina. Looks best in this colour and the saddle colours.
Looks pretty cool to me. Weathered industrial yellow with some surface rust on the sides.
Yeah great if you like that look!
The wear makes it look great. I agree about the blue with the brown but overall I like the wear
Btw this is looks beautiful, the aged looks of ghe leather case looks beautiful not gonna lie.
Hey glad you like it!
@@squircle-design yup gem it is. Have the blue one for the 12 pro max waiting it to get patina. 😅
Great video. Short and sweet.
Thank you!
So basically the brown leather case would be the best over time because it can’t get more brown as it already is
Right?
Yeah maybe!
how does it looked now?
I took sandpaper and oil to mine. I was getting too impatient and have seen these are wearing uneven. It looks good with a little work.
Interesting, I'd be interested to see a pic!

is that the yellow case gone brown? or is that really the brown saddle one
@@josephborr That’s the saddle brown case going darker..
Haha maybe it is the brown one underneath
That case looks awesome. The patina is why people buy those cases.
This is great this is great ( huge frasier fan)
Haha love these short and meaningful reviews, keep em coming!
Thanks mate! Appreciate it
I kind of like it. It looks like a vintage yellow Gibson Les Paul Junior.
Gotta go with Nomad’s leather cases. The best I’ve owned hands down.
Noted, thanks!
My california poppy case got *red* patina around the edges. It looks super weird. Never again.
Yeah sad really :(
I wanted to buy the yellow one, not anymore. Thanks for uploading👍🏻
No problem 👍
I’ve had this California Poppy for 7 months and it doesn’t resemble this at all. Mine basically looks new. My friends have the leather case as well and no problem
Did you very try stripping the rest of that yellow paint off with alcohol?
I gave up on that one and bought a clear case!
@@squircle-design I gave up on my Golden Brown Apple case and bought an Andar Aspen in Camel Tan which is top notch.
I contacted Apple and they sent me a new case. I had the blue case but this time I asked for the black case.
Oh nice, I should try that too
just did the same thing
Looks like it was found on the bottom of the sea 🌊
Pretty much!
I watched another video where the user took it back to Apple and because it was less than 12month old it was replaced. I hope they fix is
Yeah and I should do the same. Cheers
I did the same today and they didn’t accept my old case, even when it’s just 6 months old.
Love ya 😊 Your new subscriber
Thanks for subbing!
Looks very nice, feels vintage
it is precisely beautiful! it's patinated leather, California Poppy, I love it!
i love the way it looks!
I should have watched this before buying!!!
Yeah :( sorry about that, if it helps I have seen others after a few months that don't look as bad as this. Depends on your usage I guess...
In a weird way it looks finished.. bravo
Cheers!
Thats the best part. I like the patina
I wished I had seen this before buying it, guess I'll go returned it and get the silicone one.
Only go black or brown on these. They end up darker patina anyhow.
Looks like bumble bee which has transformed 💛
My case looks similar . But I like a very worn aesthetic
suscribed!
Thanks mate!
Limited edition look, very good still
It actually is desirable and by design to wear like that.
Hmm I'm not so sure about that :)
the only thing i dislike is that plastic frame around the camera. it looks terrible with the rest of the case after the wear
I’ve just bought a second hand one for fifteen quid. Looks in good nick. Glad I didn’t pay full whack. Will see how It goes. I have the brown and I think these leather cases feel good in the hand.
Yeah hopefully I just got a dud!

Could be! Not entirely sure, good to hear they're not all like this
Same here, have had the case for a year now and looks ALMOST like new. Not sure what type of wear would cause the result in the video in my opinion.
Looks like a banana
In our country iPhone store we are compulsory to buy This magsafe case.spend 80$ in India and the condition is weary n beat up jst like that.never buy it never in ur life
I guess I won't be getting it then
Man that looks rough. Do u have sweaty hands?
Not excessively! I can't say I spend all day holding it either :)
Get a silicon case next time.
Yip! I bought a clear one, it's going great
😂😂
This is how it’s meant to look and age… it’s called patina and this is the whole point of leather cases.

Normally the colour under the coating is a close colour, but in this case they are quite different, making it stand out and not look good at all IMO. Some people like this look, so that's good! Cheers
Been looking for this. I already bought it though! :(
Enjoy it while it looks amazing! I've seen others not get quite this bad...
I thing You need change your hands :) joking
Haha so true
here’s the thing,
buy a silicone case
Yip
Agreed :)
Looks like an 80% rotten banana to me
Yes!
I bought the brown one and it looks even worst. Apple leather cases are crap 💩
:(
