Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

[Knowlege Bomb]

Well damn that’s great to hear! That makes me more hopeful for my ink and umber cases! Is anyone else experiencing stiff buttons on the umber case? My ink is perfect 😍

Buttons on my ink case are perfect as well.

Here’s a photo of the border that got shredded on concrete.

Received my Andar Navy case. Here are some photos with natural lighting. As others have said, it does have a slight greenish look at certain lighting/angles but I like the greenish color too.
I really prefer the full leather camera bump on the Bullstrap, but I like the bottom coverage on the Andar. Tough choice. I’ll post some side by side pics once I receive the BS ocean.

Yeah this reaffirms my feelings on the Andar cases. Look how wonky those volume buttons look. 😖

They might straighten up once a phone is in there and pushing against them. 14PM comes tomorrow, I’ll update then.

Held under my desk to try and show a more true-to-life colour. I've cropped it too so not the best quality (Taken on an 11 pro)

I wasn't a fan of the black button and camera surround on other colours and the website but the contrast against the 'grey' case with the space black phone looks greatView attachment 2088599

I think this case will become greyish once it Patinas. You can check out some of this Color patinas online.

Nah, I have two Aspens here with the same issue.

These two Nomads are labeled as "Brown" they vary a lot! the right is not a english tan case.

I have one in midnight(2weeks old) and one umber which came today.
I find the buttons pretty hard to press on the Umber one while on the Midnight they just seem perfect. Maybe it will take some days.

Anyone have the navy Andar with deep purple 14 pro?

I can’t recall ever having this issue with Apple leather. I generally have at least one every year and they’ve always been perfectly clicky. If it’s an issue I’m sure Apple would be more than happy to swap it for you.

Edit: Bullstrap got me eying up that 12 Mini.

Here we go.

The lighting in my office is quite bright. The case is ever so slightly darker (with the tiniest amount of brown tinge) in person. The pictures actually make it look more grey than it is in person.

I am gonna run it and see how I get on with it. A lot will hinge on how strong the magsafe magnet is for my car mount

That's disappointing. It looks like they forgot to dye the leather. How can they possibly call that gray? 🤦‍♂️

That doesn't look right or to your point maybe need to break it in. Mine sit perfect and are more clicky than my previous Apple ones which felt awful.

This bad boy has been good to me. Took some beating and protected my iPhone too. Time to replace soon. Still showing plenty of that Baltic Blue.

I was just thinking the same exact thing. Had the saddle brown one my 12 pro max for 2 years. I just picked up the golden brown one from Verizon for $30. Has the find my built in too. Although this year I’m using a Nomad case, at least for now.

Hey guys, Verizon has apple leather cases 50% off. 14s are not part of this.

I know some are defensive about Apple’s leather, but I echo that my Saddle Brown 12 Pro case didn’t patina as well as my 5S through 11 cases. Very much has blackening when the others got more of an oiled look.

seems like plenty of tests confirm saddle brown at minimum used to be done differently, based on how the pigment comes off in recent iterations. Plenty of people love Apple’s fit and feel, but experienced uglier wear on the color for Saddle Brown and later Golden Brown.

Just got my andar aspen. So far so good, I didn’t realize how much I’d like having the bottom covered.

Put it next to my BS sienna. Hoping it feels as good as bullstrap in a few months. But I also have BS sienna, ocean and black on pre order for my 14PM.

The corners and sides of my umber case are starting to darken. I noticed this today. Most likely due to the black pants I wear to work.

I think overall the case is looking darker.

Ive used it for about a week now.

 

[Teach8870]

mine is being delivered Thursday. i will post pics

Can't wait. I'm wondering how it will look with gold.

 

[SoldOnApple]

I bought the Umbra cover yesterday and it still looks new, no patina yet. I kinda hate the colour though, it feels more orange than "leather" colour. And I miss my old Wisteria leather cover. If they sold the 14 Pro cover in Wisteria I would have bought it for sure.

1st day of my Andar The Aspen brown case on my 14 pro. As already mentioned it's a beautiful case with a strong scent of leather. Last pic next to my RL saddle brown wallet for colour comparison.

Now that you've been able to compare the Mujjo case against the Andar Aspen, which do you find superior?

I’ll be intrigued to see if it comes through any different to mine

Is one case horween and the other the modern leather? They will vary in color. The horween cases are usually a few shades lighter than the modern leather cases.

Good luck, that's what my saddle brown on my 12 started to look like. It didn't do well, I'm hopeful that these do.

So far not too bad, I think I’m just going to call this midnight blue instead of Ink from now on lol. Here is a pic in really good lighting
