I’m using back my Apple leather case from nomad. Although still doubting whether it can protect my iPhone from drops… It still feels like leather.. grippy textured feel, compared to Nomad’s slippery and heavier feel.. maybe in the future, i might consider getting the Andar or the bs leather case
I bounce between too many lol. I was using a nomad for the last month. I just bought a deep violet apple leather. I have a saddle brown and black too and a sienna bullstrap MagSafe
This years has closed bottom but no buttons. Looks like nomads with pvc sides.
I’ve the golden brown leather case and I’m kind of stuck to it because of the awesome grip it has while using the apple leather case. It is having an awesome patina, so I’m enjoying it a lot.
That’s Rustic Brown and is a color they’ve always had. I love the grayish black silicone; helps to break up the monotony and looks classy as hell.

I stand corrected but I do have to say that this is exactly how my rustic brown looks.English tan.

Maybe a tad bit lighter but still.. those photos look like 3d renders. They do have some photos on their Insta.

Caudabe's iPhone 13 cases
Thanks I was considering the sheath but I don't want anything heavier than the Apple Leather case

Anybody with a Caudabe case and iphone 12/Pro?
See if you have used the magnets on back with the case and if strong enough to hold anything?!

Anyone have pictures of the sequoia green apple leather case? Just ordered my self one since they have them on sale for $44.99 at Best Buy and Amazon. Really wondering how that one will patina. Currently have a silicone abyss blue but have never owned a leather case. Looking forward to it!
Bought a few weeks after launch, but I went caseless for an number of months. Conditioned using my hands’ natural oils.
Am super dissatisfied with the Apple quality this year; the color is completely acceptable but also completely uninspiring. I’ve got a Camel Andar on the way which I’m super stoked for—would be willing to part with this green one if anybody is in love with the patina.

Had an attempt of removing the coating on the Native Union case a few days back as it seems to be the same as the apple leather. Only used a damp washing up sponge(the green and yellow ones) and applied neutral shoe cream afterwards. Started gentle with the yellow side of the sponge but it wasn’t doing anything so changed to the rougher green side, for about 30 minutes. Have to say it feels rougher now, hopefully will smooth out as I use it. Only on the third day but it’s already showing some patina.

This my Apple leather Midnight case after 1.5 months. No treatment. Nothing added. Just using it everyday. Natural wear and tear. Also, this is my apple wallet that I just got yesterday. It seems like my case is getting more blue with patina vs original color. The iPhone 13 leather is...

Update on the Saddleback for anyone interested. It’s already starting to darken up with just a few days of usage. The buttons have softened up a little using Saddleback’s recommended folding and pinching break in method for those areas. I also applied Chamberlain’s leather milk to the buttons and let it sit overnight. Since using it, the case has molded itself to the phone even more; I was worried the case would fit to loose and end up popping off. It doesn’t. It fits tightly on all corners of the phone. For reference, it’s about as thick as having an otterbox defender case.

Doesn’t such a thick case ruin the small phone experience?
Not really. Personally, for myself it really doesn’t. I knew the case was think when ordering; I wanted something completely different from what I’ve always had. Apple leather cases. The edges are rounded which helps a bit.
Thank you! Went ahead and order a golden brown as well. Going to just let the green one be natural and do the sanding down method with the golden brown.
Instead of sanding the golden brown case I advise you to just wipe away the coating with alcohol. You’ll get a much better patina without damaging the leather.
