Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

[Knowlege Bomb]

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.

How do the edges surrounding the screen look? Are they straight? Is the amount of visible steel consistent around the perimeter?

Mine is straight and consistent although my gray wouldn’t stand out as much as silver

I'm hoping Bullstrap does as well but I'm not holding my breath.

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.

No point in upgrading every year anymore, not going to lie, 120hz is amazing, didn't think it would be this noticeable on such a small screen, hopefully you get to experience it next year. 👌

Anyone have an idea what it might be? It looks like they did 15% off last year.

$53 with tax and shipping. Wonder if its worth it or spend more and wait for Bullstrap.

The nomad leather is nice and soft but also is very easily scratched, nicked, dented, etc. I couldn't get used to the rubber sides. My wife likes it on the other hand because the sides has a loop for a lanyard. If only nomad would make their case entirely out of their horween leather. But that also mean it will probably be $80 to $90...

I’m still waiting for a full Horween shell cordovan phone case. No TPU sides either, Andar/Bullstrap style.

I know Ashland leather teamed up with Nomad for Horween shell cordovan Apple Watch strap, I’d seriously consider a phone case.

The bestbuy platinum leather case is all horween leather and even covers the bottom.

I recall someone saying that one has no magsafe, is that correct?

edit, reviews confirmed no magsafe. looks like a great option for those not caring about the magnets.

My wife is on her second brown nomad folio, XR for 2.5 years now a 12 max one, she loves the colour and look.

Rocking the nomad modern leather in rustic brown, just switched to the Graphite iPhone 13 Pro from the Sierra Blue. Definitely a better match IMO.

Gonna be any black friday discount on Andar or Bullstrap? What do you think?

Asked before and didn’t get answer. Is it normal on the Nomad Modern case? Used only one week.

Can you show me yours please!

It’s normal for the brown, black doesn’t show as much. We have both.

Couple weeks of on/off usage. Now that I’m using the graphite 13 Pro, think I’m going to keep it on for awhile. Love this look.

This is my brown Decoded after nearly 2 straight months of use. It’s nice and grippy but not showing signs of patina at all. I have a brown Platinum case waiting for pickup at Best Buy later so I might give it a shot and see if I like it. Goes against me wanting to only have 1 case but I want a better quality leather.

I got my Bullstrap in the mail. The leather looks a lot dryer and it is a lot rougher than the Andar. The case feels thinner and sleeker than the Andar as well. The Bullstrap hugs the camera lens closer too so I could see over time it may expose the camera (as it did on my 12 Pro Max). But imo, it’s a slightly better case than the Andar but not by much. Buttons feel nearly identical.
