Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

To anyone curious: A few weeks ago I received the bullstrap magsafe wallet and immediately sent it back due to the weakness of the magnets. I just finished a chat with customer support, however, and they're aware of the magnet issue and tell me that a new batch with improved magnets will be available by November 30th.

Also, does anyone know why the make you specify whether you have an Iphone 13 pro or another model when ordering a wallet from their site?
 
Day 1 Nomad “warehouse” open box item for my 13 PM. I just can’t seem to get away from the Nomad cases. I think I have one of y’alls returns. 😉 It was only $38. Sorry about the crappy iPad photo.

Hopefully they bring back the Apple Saddle Brown and midnight blue and product red with the old quality that we all know and came to love.

I unfortunately highly doubt it - Midnight was brought in as generic “black” or “space grey”‘ replacement, and in the time since it was introduced a year ago, more and more new Apple products have adopted Midnight, the latest being the new Macbooks and iPhone SE cases, so I have a feeling Midnight (and the accompanying Golden Brown) are here to stay. Midnight Blue was last available for the Leather Case for the iPhone 11 Pro which was now, in the tech world, a long time ago
 
Hi, I am new to the forum and I am looking for some advice. I have just recently acquired a brown leather case for my Samsung phone. I have applied black shoe polish to the case, to help speed up the patina process. However, I would like the case to look darker than it currently is. It seems as if the shoe polish will only darken the case up to a point. Anyone have any suggestions how I can darken the leather some more? Would mink oil or something similar help in this regard?

There it is, my new beautiful Andar Marshal case! Got it 2 days ago, but only took the picture now. The blue is kinda a navy blue, slightly lighter, but the pic doesn’t capture that too well. Fits great and doesn’t make the phone a bulky brick.

My main concern was regarding the MagSafe strength. I can now say it sticks well to my ESR HaloLock, having never fallen from it even on bumpy roads. However, when taking it off the magnet, the difference in strength between it and my previous Spigen Ultra Hybrid is noticeable. Taking it off with my previous case, the HaloLock almost came along with it. With this one, it resists only slightly before I can take it off. It’s good enough to not fall during drives, so I’m pretty satisfied with it.

I’ve switched from my Nomad to the Andar camel tan. Andar’s magnets are definitely stronger than Nomad’s.

The Marshall is a beautiful case. I’m looking forward to see how yours ages.

Nomad English Tan.
Still for sale new from a UK retailer.

Love the lighter colour, although it’s a bit of a contrast to my wallet/keychain/airpod case (also all nomad).

2 main disappointments. 1, the fit is not right as they’ve used the 12 sizing. You can see from the front shots the metal band is visible slightly, but only on one side of the phone. 2, the oversized speaker cutouts. Would love to see them implement a bottom similar to the Apple Silicone case.

The leather is fantastic, as is the protection and the buttons are spot on for me.

Here's your "limited time product."🤔

I DO like the new Dune case though, this is the first time I've seen this color option. I do see these cases for the 13's on Amazon now.

I'll wait until the price drops - hopefully soon. MAYBE near the Holidays, they tend to go on sale.

I am curious how many cases do you guys own for your phones? I always feel bad getting more than 2-3 cases if I don’t plan to keep the phone more than 1-2 years.

Picked up the Wilken leather case and I’m pleasantly surprised. I love the shade of brown. It’s in between the sienna and bourbon from Bullstrap. The buttons are perfect just like Bullstrap as well. View attachment 2046463

I have the same case bought it from Amazon. I was surprised how nice this - still - is! I've bought a few leather cases from Amazon and received some 1st class junk and returned it. This Wilken is a keeper.

Currently 4 cases for my 13 Pro Max.

Better than last year, I had 6 for my 12 Pro Max...but I wasn't planning on upgrading to the 13. My 12PM was a lemon and I just ended up trading that in Sept 2021.

there is no magsafe ring visible as in the aspen case. Does this work with magnet autoholdee and charge with magsafe?
