How to get AMAZING patina on the iPhone 12 Saddle Brown Leather Case



In this video I show you how to get amazing looking patina on your Apple Leather Case in the color Saddle Brown. This is applying to all the Saddle Brown cases but primarily the iPhone 12 cases as they dont age like the old models did. That is why we are helping the patina a bit :). Using fine sandpapaer and leather nurishment/balm.

  1. I was kind of hoping he was going to rub some of the coffee into the 12 cases, this will give me a nice dark stain. 😆 (Actually, I kind of wonder if I lightly sandpaper that…then add a little Dark roast into my phone I'd get a darker color. (Seems too simple….so I won't try it.) But, yeah my 12 PM Saddle Brown case is STILL pretty much it's original color – except in some spots along edges since early Nov.

  2. Hi, can you please reply to my comment please. I’m looking to buy the leather case from Apple. It’s the only one that covers the bottom out of all others (nomad has TPU frame which I din’t like and all others the bottom are exposed). This will be my first leather case because now the bottom is cover, I really love the patina. If I’m using alcohol to rub away the coating, will this case age the same way of normal use like after the coating is remove like all previous model? The texture and color look the same as the old cases so if I’m rubbing away the coating, and using it normally, will it be the same or they use completely different leather? Thank you if you are replying. Really need to know. Really like your contents. Really appreciate if you spend time replying me.

  3. Thank you! After watching this I used sand paper on the black case and it looks amazing! I didn’t use any oil, and it looks and feels like suede with blue undertones. Black was not my first choice but I found one on Amazon on sale for less than $25 so I grabbed it. My first choice would’ve been the saddle brown but I couldn’t see paying $60. Now I’m so glad I did get the black one!
