In my experience it took about 1.5y for saddle brown leather cases to deteriorate badly (used one with iPhone 7 and XS). They are very bad with moisture and start to flake if you get them wet.
The quality has definitely gotten worse with every iPhone generation. I had an official leather case on my 12 and the layer of leather began peeling off of the plastic within a few months.
Nowadays I just use a rubber spigen case and I’m very happy with it.
I had a Nomad case for a Pixel 2 ages ago that held up fantastically the entire time I had it. I held on to that phone and the case for like 3 years at least. If you get their Horween leather ones, they’ll hold up no problem - it’s quite high quality material and wears beautifully.
