I don't deny the expertise of the local shoe man, but how many of them on the entire planet have actually done this to an iPad smart cover? At least people here have congregated because of the very specific task that he is asking about so the opinions expressed here are pretty valuable to anyone else trying to do this.
I dont think anyone would say a word if that was what you said. But Actually, your "advice" to the question of "Is there an alternative to Obenaufs for people who can't get it in England" was:
I think there's an big distinction between "good advice" and being condescending or dismissive of the entire concept of "Discussion" boards.
Has anyone tried using the oil on the cream one yet (few people mentioned they wanted to).
My cream one started to look gross so I attempted to clean it with some leather cleaner. I'm not sure if it made it better or worse... It's still drying (I hope. Though it's kind of got this vintage-distress looked to it right now) So I hope it ends up looking clean in the end. Right now it looks like this:
Anyone know if I use the Conditioning Cream that came in the set I won't be able to use the oil? Since it's designed to repeal water, oil, ect after being used?
Because of the type of leather anything you put on it soaks up instantly. All did was soak the dirt in. Leaning towards using the Obenauf Oil or using something that colours leather (not sure what colour the Obenauf Oil will achieve, I want more of a brown than the grey is goes when wet).
Looked worse than it started
I washed it wish some water afterwards. Looks better but not as clean as I'd like. I might get this in dark brown and see how I go.
But seriously. EVERY other color is in stock but red.
