Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

I think Ryan of London has a better looking case than all of those. Worth a look.

Ryan London is basically a Bullstrap with a different logo. I have both and aside from color the cases are identical.

Which oil have you used? Can I get it in Hungary? This is soo nice! I think its beat Bullstrap…

I’m a little late to your reply, I use kiwi mink oil. Shoe stuff. Works great

I think that makes the Ryan better, since no logo. Also Ryan has MagSafe.

Bullstrap has MagSafe and RL has a logo, it’s just on the bottom edge rather than the back.

I don’t see a logo in their images, looks like the back is clean. Is there a reason to not go with the Ryan version? I’m a little confused since it looks nicer than the BullStrap case due to the very blatant branding of the BullStrap. Maybe the logo doesn’t bother you… but I’m a bit confused but the minimizing of what seems like very apparent worse branding to me.

New leather cases are up on the apple website. I think Umber color looks close to saddle brown.

Great color but I’m scared that their recent horrid leather process will just lead to dark spots instead of real patina again

That's true but I am hoping it's different this year.

It looks really good with the gold phone as well. We shall see. its hard to get good patina on the newer phones with the sharp edges.

I gotta say BS has the best replacement policy. No question asked and quick. Wish I knew this before I bought kings loots. As much as they say life time replacement, it’s $20 each time and you have to ship your item back and wait 2-3 weeks. If anyone is debating about BS overpriced cases, it’s worth it. I had BS for my 12 and they shipped out replacement fast. I am disappointed with kings loot. Not sure if I will get anything else from them…

I'm tempted to go ahead and buy that Umber color, get it, and then return it when it is the exact same thing as the 12 case was.

I can't remember when this started happening, but the past 3 Apple leather cases I've tried have all developed unsightly wear around the edges instead of a nice overall patina like the older Apple leather. I looked at the descriptions of the leather cases of iPhone 13 Pro vs iPhone 14 Pro, but there are no indications it's any different.

Gamble and buy another Apple leather case hoping for a change or go with another brand? Fool me 3+ times in a row, still shame on you Apple lmao.

Not much options in China unless I want to pay double in duties

It started with iPhone 12 square edges. I think the quality of the leather is also a little worse in comparison to 11 and older. I’ll bet the patina on 14 would be exactly the same as 12 and 13.

You should check Bullstrap, Andar or Nomad. Bullstrap user here and the patina is absolutely beautiful.

Anyone make one with no branding or logo?

The Ryan of London cases look very clean from pictures. Similar to bullstrap but no big logo on the back it seems.

My main concern is the MagSafe. Is it as strong as the Apple ones?
I tried some 3rd party cases and they all had a very weak magnet.

Had the Andar Aspen on my 12pro since last November 2021 so hasn't been 1 year yet. Several weeks ago one corner started to wear thru into the plastic substrate. Phone and case haven't been dropped. The damage came entirely from my jean pocket. Andar confirmed this is a warranty replacement but they charge a fee. It was $5 for a mag wallet warranty replacement. Still undecided if I should go with Andar or Bullstrap for 14pro...

edit: the magnet on the andar case is strong enough to hold on to the car mount even through very bumpy road. But it does leave a mark. The magnet on their mag wallet is not as strong as apple's wallet though but not to a point of accidentally detaching.

Go with BS. Their replacement process is smooth and pain free. Nomad isn’t too bad either but between Nomad and BS, I’d say BS is better. I have Apple, Andar, Nomad, BS and Kings Loot leather cases.

 

[cannono]

How long does Ryan take to do new cases? Seems as nice as Andar and Bullstrap without their ugly logos.

New cases for 14 PM has arrived

Umber seems to be a cross between Arizona and saddle brown.

Forest green seems quite muted and dull and not as vibrant as the one for the 11 PM

Will post some comparison with the 13 PM sequoia green soon.

I’ve had a couple Mujjo cases in the past and they are worse than Apples current leather. Unless then have made some serious quality improvements I’d steer clear.
