The previously announced iPhone MagSafe leather sleeve with a cutout to show the time, plus the MagSafe Duo Charger for iPhone 12 and Apple Watch, are now listed on the Apple Store online for $129 each, and are "coming soon."
As Apple begins taking pre-orders for the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and the HomePod mini, the online Apple Store has also added a listing for two of the most-awaited accessories. Neither is available to purchase yet, and Apple lists them only as "coming soon."
However, the listing is also the first time that Apple has revealed pricing for either item. Both will be sold for $129, and both are eligible for 0% financing with monthly payment instalments on Apple Card.
The MagSafe Duo charger comes in only white. This folding travel unit, though, comes complete with both a MagSafe charger for an iPhone, and an Apple Watch charger built in.
The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro Leather Sleeve with MagSafe works with both models of phone, and will be sold in four colors. By default, Apple displays what it calls the Saddle Brown color. There is also a Baltic Blue option, plus Pink Citrus, and PRODUCT(RED).
Alongside the leather protective case, and the colors, this sleeve allows the time on iPhone 12 to be seen through a cutout. The iPhone alters the background color on the clock to match the choice of case.

Criers/Complainers: Here is a statement for y’all.
How could they! :o
Who wants a sleeve for their phone? It only makes it more trouble to access the phone. The longer I have the new iPhone 12 Pro the more I’m thinking this new form factor is a step back. It is bulky by comparison to the X and 11. And I have yet to see a good case.

You really, really have to want that MagSafe Duo to pull the trigger on that purchase.
