Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

Came home today to find my Andar camel tan for iphone 12P was delivered. I was a little bummed to find it didn't come in the pouch that I see shown in youtube review videos. The case is a few mm thicker the apple leather case but certainly less bulky than the nomad case. Button is just as clicky as apple's. The nomad button was very mushy but was kind of fixed by cutting a small slit thru the rubber. Overall satisfied with Andar for $40.

And like everyone mentioned, it is slippery.

Anyone has the Sierra blue and brown leather case combo that they can show me? Not sure how well it would go together.

Hello guys! I am from Hungary, first of all sorry for my english.

Bought nomad case, and I didn’t know how this happened, but got this mark…is it normal? Will it be nice patina with age? I would like to buy a new one leather case, please help me. Apple, Bullstrap or Andar?

Thank you! :)

That's another thing I forgot to mention when I got mine. Just sat in a box with a poorly sized styrofoam piece underneath and a thank you card. Thought that was a little strange.
 
Both my phone case and wallet from Andar came with the canvas bags.

Well I've got the Andar case on my 13 Pro this morning. I have to say that I'm more than a little disappointed after all of the raving about them on this forum. There seems to be some sort of residue around the camera frame which I've mostly been able to remove with a SIM ejector tool but there's more there and I feel going any further will damage the leather.

Also regarding the camera frame, I was under the impression it was metal and it's clearly just black plastic. There also seems to be a chip in the finish on the power button that catches my eye every time I look at the phone. Then there's the volume buttons... why are the so small? It looks awkward. And the most egregious, and likely the straw that broke my back, is the inconsistency of the visible steel frame around the screen. The top and left side are exposed, with the top left corner being slightly more covered and the top right corner is completely covered along with all but the bottom inch and a half of the right side. It just looks sloppy in my opinion.

The real shame is I removed my Nomad skin thinking that was the problem.

Sounds like you got a defective case, they have excellent customer service and won’t hesitate sending you a replacement

Yeah, they responded really quickly and created a new order as soon as I gave them confirmation I had dropped the old one in the mail. I asked them to cancel it since I had decided I was happy with what I have and the charge was refunded the next morning (today).

What did you end up sticking with? Was it the Nomad skin?

I had it, and this is only pic I have. But didn’t like golden brown at all this year and sold it.

Next day with the Andar case, the sides are already much more grippy than last night when I first got it. Picking the phone up from the table or pulling out of my pockets already feels different. The leather feels nice. I like it enough to buy their matching Mag wallet since they gave me a $5 off code. Never heard of Andar until I revisited this thread last week but I’ll mostly likely skip Apple’s leather case for the next phone in favor of 3rd parties.

Mine arrived today, I really like it. I actually ordered their AirPods Pro case.

I wish! I’m hanging onto my 12 pm for one more year… silver with black leather. I’m just living vicariously through everyone else here! 🥰 if I was getting the 13 this would be at the top of my list!

You’re the smart one out of all of us, this apple addiction isn’t cheap. 🤦‍♂️

Each year I say I’m not upgrading, then that goes straight out the window. 😂
 
After scrolling this thread for the past few weeks, I finally pull the trigger and ordered an Andar brown case for 12 pro. Pretty high price for shipping, but I found 20% off coupon which I used so the overall price was just ok. And the case is absolutely joy to use, buttons and cutouts are perfect, leather is probably the best I have ever used on a phone. I think I am good for at least 2 years now. 🤞🏻

I thought about it not gonna lie but I figured it really didn’t feel that different. I work at a major carrier so when I have to set them up all day and I’m underwhelmed then I know for sure! I think the us the first year in about … 7 years I skipped one? iPhone 6 is when I started upgrading every year.

The 14 will be here before we know it. Def looking forward to the refresh rate. That’s the one thing I do wish I had on this one.
