Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

After 1 month, the saddle brown is turning out nice. The gold stands out a little more, somewhat. A few pages back you see the case before it patinated.

I found the yellow one for $8.99 used. Still pretty good for a used case, the bottom corners already had the spots. Wanted to see for myself on what the yellow does. I have a few cases so I try to use them each for 1 month unless I’m just liking a certain one, otherwise I would keep riding with the saddle brown.

Love the brown/ gold combo

why, because of the $8.99? It actually is, and it came in the box. Either way, I didn’t pay $50 for it. Look at the side buttons and the Apple logo is legit. I like it tho, feels good in hand too.

Maybe fake is better, because original turns to black. ;)

Picked up a red to add to the rotation.

Have all except yellow now. Maybe quarantine madness setting in.

I have been really tempted on getting the Product Red for my Midnight Green iPhone i just wasn’t sure how the camera cut would look, but it doesn’t look too bad is there any way you can post more pics from and different angles and lighting?

Did you use any conditioners or thats just from usage? Thats awesome

I hope my SE2 saddle brown looks something like this, years later. Finally a phone I will actually ride out with the leather for a while. Usually upgrade every year or every other. But I don't sell my SE's.

So I used some leather conditioner on my case with the water stain.

I personally enjoy how it looks and the water stain is very hard for me to notice anymore.

There’s a few scuffs here and there but I think they add some character to the case overall.

Which leather conditioner did you use? And how does the leather feel now?

I used Lexol leather conditioner and the case feels pretty similar to how it felt before I used the conditioner except it doesn’t feel as dry.

I made sure to use as little as I could while still getting some product onto the case.
