It does not, but it works like the Apple folio. The leather is very flexible and closes nicely. No need for a magnetic clasp. The advantage over the Otterbox and Nomad is that the card slot can hold several cards (I have about 5) and the cards can be completely covered by the leather and not contact the phone’s screen. Also, the Platinum is made with Horween leather just like the Nomad. The biggest problem I found with the Nomad and Otterbox was that they couldn’t hold more then two cards. None of the three cases supports the sleep wake feature like the 11 pro, but unfortunately that’s because Apple appears to have removed that functionality, presumably because it may affect the MagSafe functionality.

Looks like they’re on their way. Here’s a new listing for the Pro Max, but there are similar entries -across multiple vendors- for each of the iPhone 12 Pro models (and in various colours):

We’ll hopefully see ‘em released sooner rather than later. For those of us that want front protection -as well as that extra bit of class- these leather cases are a superb investment👌

I think that Apple will not release Leather Folio cases, since this is associated with Qualcomm modems. Qualcomm modems are now used in all iPhone 12 series models. When you open the lid of the case, it touches the camera and the optional noise canceling microphone. For this reason, it will be difficult to hear you. This was a problem in other iPhones, for example, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X in versions with a Qualcomm modem.


I myself really like the Apple Leather Folio case. I don't know if you can buy such a case from other manufacturers. Could this type of case affect the audibility of the Series 12 iPhone?


Dear Apple Company, please write an answer to the question!

I am so disappointed that they did not realize a leather folio for the new IPhone 12 Pro Max. I switched to folio for the first time with my XS Max. I was not really sure I would like that but I ended up buying an additional one because I loved it so much. Gone are the days with carrying a bulky wallet all the time and I just loved the folio. I am always nervous to use third party accessories because I feel apple has the design/style down to perfection but it seems like to continue with using of a folio for this phone I will have no choice but to try it out

Really disappointed leather folio not available for iPhone 12 pro. Got phone on Friday and really miss it.

On bike ride phone screen keep being activated without cover. Interferes with Strava and Apple Watch so no heart rate not recorded and battery run low.

Plus folio offers great protection to phone.

Silicone case feel awful to hold.

Please can I get Leather Folio immediately.

Totally agree, man👌 The significance of the leather Apple cases not actually being ‘folio’, has only belatedly occurred to me. I’m with you: those phones really do need screen protection. And it seems a bit mad that Apple don’t have their own branded option to cater for such a basic requirement


Are there any folio-type cases you think you’ll go for, Neil? My phone arrives in November, and I really do want a case that covers the front too
