How old is the case? Maybe there was some sort of light wax coating on it like the old Apple 7/8/X cases had. Now thats worn off and the patina begins. I've never owned Bullstrap so just guessing here.
I still have the Andar. Got curious about this golden brown so here we are…
Golden brown is nice color especially once the yellowish hue starts to fade. The only issue I’ve noticed with apple leather cases this year is the inconsistency with their buttons.
These buttons feel great. I previously had a sequoia green case and the buttons were nice on that one also.
Yes, the sides will darken faster than the back. Even on mine, which I removed the coating on, the sides are darkening faster.
No. I used a bunch of alcohol wipes on it when I first got it just over a month ago.
Thought so. I was going to say if that was with the coating on you got extremely lucky. I figured must have removed it. Sad that we have to strip a paint / plastic coating off these things when we pay so much for them in the first place.

Someone else on here had one of these and it did patina fast https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ses-patina-proud-photos.2293718/post-29836325 Be interested to see how yours turns out.
I have this one for the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I applied an ESR HaloLock Universal Ring on it to solve the MagSafe problem.
I use the case for a week now, so I will take a picture of it tomorrow. But no, it has not that far patina as the person that had a Wiiuka case too. Probably because I am not oiling my hands.
Not excessive but I did use a LOT of wipes and could see the orange coming off on the wipes.
Picked up a sienna bullstrap for my work phone. My work phone isn’t used nearly the extent as my “personal” but I wanted to get the color to see it.
I love it and was debating this color and the bourbon for my personal phone. Now I have both and I definitely got it right- bourbon color is my top favorite color with the sierra a close second. I haven’t tried the ocean but i leave the blue cases for the dudes in the house lol.
I love bullstrap-I’m so glad I decided to try them out- I don’t think I’d ever use Apple leather again with these as an option. More and more every day. It’s my favorite case. Close second are carved cases!

About a month in with it (Sienna 12 PM) being exclusively my daily driver (Smartish Gripzilla still gets some play) and I really love the case. The Andar Marshal has MagSafe on their 13 PM; I bet it’ll fit the 12PM but I have to stop buying cases lol.
