The streets of Boston have recently been all dressed up in Christmas cheer, but not because consumerism has gone wild even earlier than usual.

Twelve South has added a new chapter to the story of its leather iPhone case known as BookBook, cracking open a MagSafe version of the book-style case and wallet for iPhone 13. It looks like something you’d blow the dust off sitting next to a fireplace with a glass of cognac in hand.
