Y’all sold me on ordering an Andar case as well. Should arrive next week.

Question, why do some pics appear to have a camera ring and others don’t?

As far as I know all the Andar cases have a pretty big metal ring, it's the Bullstrap ones that don't. (Correct me if I'm wrong).
 
Previous deep violet of two months and day 1 of camel tan Andar. Fitment and buttons are on par with apple “leather” case, but with 10x better leather quality as everyone else mentions.
In your pictures, the Andar case seems a lot thicker than the apple one. Is that accurate? Can you tell a difference?
 
Hey if you makes you happy there shouldn’t be a limit. I get funny looks from the wife when she notices a new case but hey, the money could be going to crack…. Which would you prefer?
Alright you got me there. I just ordered a Bullstrap case. I wish Andar / Bullstrap made cases for Android phones because I have a an Android as my work phone and another Android for my gaming phone (I play a lot of Asian games and switching region sucks on iOS especially with payment restrictions). I will have to see how the quality is from Andantannerie when it’s here, ordered a case for iPhone and another case for one of my Androids from that place.

I think the metal ring is on iPhone 13 series cases for Andar and not on earlier - just checked website and I don’t see metal ring for iPhone 12 image

Does anyone have the bullstrap magsafe wallet? I have a bullstrap magsafe case for my iPhone 12 pro Max and would like to get a matching bullstrap wallet but I've read several reviews saying that the magnets are not strong enough and it falls off a lot. Any experiences to share on this one? Thanks!
 
Been using my Midnight Apple letter case for the past 3-4 weeks continuously. I love it. The leather has worn nicely at least in feel. Leather feel so good now in the hands!! You can actually smell a faint leather smell now.

Any idea..how to avoid my nomad case from drying?it seem drying more at the edge of the case..

I personally use coconut oil to take care of my leather products. Cheap and efficient. You need to give a bit of time to the leather to absorb it, so don't put too much. It will also darken the leather, but not an issue if the leather is already dark to begin with, as it is the case for the Nomad rustic brown.

I used it on the past as well on Apple brown leather case (which are very clear when new), it helped giving them an uniform patina.
 
Am i the only one who wishes more companies would make a lighter color blue leather case for 13? Pacific Blue from 12 would be fine too. Apple needs to make a proper blue leather case without damn purple in it!
 
I have the Andar case in navy. I like it so much that I’ve also received one of their wallets and just ordered another of their cases in black. Great company with great products. This will be the brand I’m sticking with from now on.
I'm seriously considering switching over to an Andar wallet as getting my cards out of my Apple wallet is annoyingly difficult sometimes. Having that open slot on the front would definitely be better than having to push on the back card over and over until I'm able to get enough friction for it to start to move.

How is the andar wallet's magsafe strength when attached to the andar leather case? One of the reviews mention the bottom magnet is weak. Thanks

It’s strong enough to stay on when I put it in my jeans pocket without being overly careful.

I don’t have enough experience with MagSafe accessories to say how the Andar compares with others.

Thanks. The front opening does look handy compared to Apple and Bullstrap's versions.
 
I agree. The bottom magnet could be stronger but I’ve never run into any issues placing my phone in my pocket while the wallet is connected—whether it’s directly on the phone or the leather case.

I received my sienna Bullstrap case for my 13 pro today. It feels like very high quality leather however I am not sure I like the open bottom anymore after having a closed bottom case for a couple years. I will most likely be putting the case on the marketplace here if anyone is interested in one and doesnt want to wait for Bullstrap to ship one.

Same, it's the winner this year for me. I usually get a black nomad too but don't want anything taller, and they are, still have last years.
 
Sena slim cognac wallet sleeve arrived. Their site boasts Italian full grain leather, but it feels cheap and smells of some sort of synthetic material. Maybe it’s an oil that was applied or their dye process. This sleeve doesn’t seem on par at all with my Torro sleeve.

Edit: This will be a return.
