[doublepost=1549638511][/doublepost]I went to my Mujjo with sandpaper and coconut oil. Don’t be frightened to be aggressive with the sandpaper either. Looks great now and will repeat the process in a month or so

Well I shouldn’t have opened this thread because now I want to trade my XR to my daughter for her XS she can’t use (OLED bothers her), just so I can get a leather case, even though I’ve had Loopy cases for my last 3 phones and I can’t imagine not having the loop.
Only problem is, I had trouble with OLED also (which is why I returned my Max), so I can’t really do that.
But gosh I love the worn leather!

The patina is growing on me, but man, so many cases make me think, hey cut those nails!! The nail marks drove me nuts lol!!

Forrest green is my fav still. I killed mine and went with SB but will most likely get FG again, so nice!!3 months in, and my case hasn’t changed much. Forest green seems to hold up pretty well. I also picked up a matching leather loop watch band.
Impressive. I can't keep a phone more than a year so my chances of getting to that point are nil.
Looks good though!

That looks really nice! How long did it take for it to start building some patina. I just purchased a Product Red for my iPhone XS Max

I’m a huge fan of the Product Red patinas now. Is this just from normal use?
Forest green leather case. Had it since launch and probably use it 70% of the time. It hasn’t darkened that much. Just a bit worn around the corners.
10 days...
What did you do to get that much patina in only 10 days?

What kind of leather oil?
[doublepost=1550071787][/doublepost]
I’ve done it a few times. I scratched it up yesterday. Now I have random spots that are darker than others which I hate. Coworker of mine told me the scratching idea and his case is perfectly even. Heres mine... After a few days you can’t see the scratch marks at all. I see some of your pictures and wish my phone was more even.
It has an almost wood finish look.
Just use it.
You start sanding it and slapping oils and lotions all over it, it's no longer patina. It's stained.
[doublepost=1550158837][/doublepost]Makes sense, hopefully it patinas quick lol
You can add some leather conditioner to it to darken it a bit. Its gives the leather cases more of a grip too.
Yeah patience is key I guess, I just really wish Apple would offer a darker red option almost like a burgundy, but oh I guess I’ll just use it over time and watching it change over time
I like it! I've been tempted to get SB because I think it looks spectacular with the silver XS but something in the back of my mind wouldn't let me and I went for my usual safe Midnight Blue.
Edit: Oooh! Post #1000!
