Twelve South BookBook for iPhone 14 Pro Max | MagSafe Compatible Full-Grain Leather Wallet Case with Display Stand + Removable Stand-Alone Leather Accent Case, Brown

Update a month and a half later: I like this case. It is bulky when combined with the folio but the leather case itself is really high quality and attractive on its own. Unlike a review I saw for the brown version, I find the magnet attachment to the folio plenty strong. My only issue so far is that it doesn’t always charge in my car’s wireless charger - but it’s a finicky charger so I won’t fault the case too much. It’s a little thicker than the Apple leather case I have so that’a a factor.I get lots of compliments on it - if you’re on the fence, go for it. It’s not much more expensive than a leather Apple case and cheaper than that one combined with Apple’s two-card MagSafe wallet.I just received it today, so I can’t yet comment on its durability or function but I love the appearance and it seems to be a high-quality item. It’s a little bulky when the phone is inside the folio but you can remove it easily, using the removable magnetic case. It’s quite protective and I’m looking forward to seeing how it wears as the leather ages. Magnets are really strong. Folio cases are a different animal - they are a little cumbersome but I like the idea of a single wallet and the look of them. Will see and follow up after using a bit. Really great looking phone case.

PROS:* Nice quality leather* Removable case fits the iPhone 15 Max well* Removable case attaches to MagSafe car charger (APPS2Car Wireless Car Charger) and holds in place while charging in the car* Magnetic outer "book" styled cover for the inner iPhone case has magnets that have the right magnetism strength (not overpowered, but enough to hold the phone in the case)* Outer case has slots for your ID and credit cards allowing this to serve as a minimalist wallet* Inner iPhone case can be stored in the outer case to allow both the front and back cameras to be covered when the outer case is magnetically closed, or you can orient the iPhone case to allow the back facing cameras to remain exposed at all times via the notch if you frequently take picturesCONS:* None for me - it does what it's designed to do

I have used this case for many years for iPhones AND iPads. this is my 7th one. the first lasted a couple years. by 6th it lasted only a few months. thought it was a fluke. on to the most recent one. the flap that closes cracked all the way through IN A WEEK!!! these pictures are at 6 weeks and 2 days. there is literally what looks like cardboard as second layer. love the book design. have gotten many compliments over the years WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW IN TERMS OF QUALITY???? what a shame. will have to find another case design

I’ve had at least 6 TwelveSouth BookBook cases. Probably more. They were the best for a long time. A few years back they took a step backwards when they went from plastic locking parts in the case to magnets. While the magnets have some upside they simply aren’t strong enough to work well enough. When the case is new, the stiffness of the leather leads to the phone popping out of the case anytime you attempt to use the kickstand feature. Even broken in it’s not much better. I never dropped a phone when the locking mechanism was the plastic tabs but I’ve lost count of all the drops due to magnets not holding.This particular case has a much more significant problem. The iPhone 15 ProMax has a minor design flaw itself that is exacerbated by the case. The power button is lower than ever putting it almost too easily accessible to the thumb. That’s apples issue. But at least when not in the case it does require some intentional force to activate the button.Unfortunately somehow the button on the bookbook case makes the button incredibly sensitive where nearly brushing against it activates it. Then to compound the issue, and this is the big issue- the magnetic clasp on the case partially overlays the top of the button. This leads to accidental activation nearly every time the phone case is open and closed along with many other normal use situations.Upwards of 50 times per day I find my phone off when it should be on, on when it should be off, Siri constantly activated which has led to all kinds of issues including many accidental voice memos and other actions from siri.Finally, the poorly placed clasp itself is stitched together insufficient. After only a few months use it’s falling apart.I use to happily pay the much higher price for 12South Products but this may be the last time.Im currently looking for a different solution but it’s hard to take something so expensive and trash it, even though it doesn’t work well.

Love this product and brand.

I’ve been buying Book Book cases for several years now to modify them to cater to my desires and needs. The reason I pay their cost just to change things is because the leather and manufacturing is quality. What doesn’t work for me is the removable protective case that comes with this. I’ve broken phone screens in spite of them and screen covers.I actually bought this version for my iphone16 pro, removed the included case and magnets, attached an otterbox brand commuter case via Velcro (so it’s still removable, but stronger than the magnet attachment they originally have), and added a pop socket to the back. Oh, I also trimmed down the little closure flap and shifted the magnet so it still works but no longer pushed my action button on the side of my new phone. Love it!!!

Love the Book Book, newer version falling apart quickly.

This cell phone case has become both a protective case for my phone and my wallet. I can carry my various credit cards, driver's license, and cash in it. The phone magnetically attaches to the case which means I can easily remove it for taking photos, mounting to a tripod, etc. The magnetic latches also keep the case closed. This case looks like a small book when closed which I love. Friends tend to think I'm carrying around a travel bible when they first see it :-).
