Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

I am in a field where I have to wash my hands at least twice/hr and carry that into my personal life. This is exactly how mine looks right now after ~3 months. Never been exposed to any water or chemicals.

It all depends on how you hold your phone and also how often, not to mention your oil production. Everyones case will eventually look like that and the people saying to wash your hands are trolls.

I wonder if it would look any better once the thin layer of blue “leather” is completely gone .

That’s what I wanted to find out. I’ve asked here if there is anyone who removed the coating on a baltic blue case but nothing. But for now I quite like the rugged half way look but in the end I will remove it completely at some point. For now I am curios if it turns black or if it will be a very dark blue. I think the second
 
Does anyone have updates on how their Sienna Bull-strap leather case is turning out?
 
Torro cases are 50% off on Amazon UK for a few days. Just ordered myself a tan one for £15 as an interim before getting a Nomad as a gift in a few months. Worth checking out at that price. I had a Torro wallet case on my 7 Plus and that had good quality leather.

Got a black case yesterday, so far so good. My SB all but wouldn’t stay on, this is much better so far.
 
I bought it from Amazon, does it have to be returned to them or can I exchange it directly with Apple?

Torro cases have always looked premium to me. My iPhone 7 was going to get treated to that brand but I opted for tucch instead. One day maybe. Would like to see what you get!

I just got an email about the Bullstrap elite case being on sale for preorders at $60. Who knows anything about these?

They’re heavy and won’t be available for a while. The aluminum sides look nice but I’m not sure I could handle that added bulk/weight.

Can’t wait to see people post their impressions though!

Yeah, I’d be much more interested if it was leather all the way around.

I can’t get over that huge logo.. why do all these case makers think this is OK?

Also not sure how it’s possible for a high quality leather case to be so cheap. Leather almost certainly sourced from China, definitely let us know what you think!

Supposedly leather is sourced from the States. A decent hide isn’t as expensive as you’d think. I have their sleeve and it’s pretty nice compared to the Apple sleeve, which I also have. No comparison in quality between the two. The Torro sleeve is hands down the better of the two.

Do you see a serial number inside of the case? If so go via Apple support chat. At the end of the day it’s an Apple product- you are just going to the source for help.

Personally I’d go straight to Amazon. At least here in the UK they’re great at processing returns no questions asked. Apple wouldn’t be able to offer a refund, only a replacement.
