Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

Got mine!

Wow! What a case! The fit is superb, it was a little iffy around the bottom corners but once you force them around the corners of the phone, the do not budge.

The difference in the feel in holding and using the phone with a genuinely high quality leather over Apple’s is night and day. It feels like I’ve got a nice new 14 Pro. Where as my Ink case had developed the stickiness and wasn’t really that nice to hold.

I love the slight raises in the case around the buttons making them more flush with the case and they are really nice and clicky.

I just hope it’s okay on the pinky! Feels okay at the mo.

Just really wish they did a navy!

There are all Forest Green expect for the 13 Pro: Sequoia Green.

Wow, the consistency between the 11 and 14 FG is amazing! I don’t think I’ve seen those side by side before!

How long did you have the older midnight case?

Ended up returning the Umber leather case. Since I already have good brown leather options, but did not have a black leather case. Here is pic of my old Midnight next to the new Midnight.

How do you feel the coconut oil does with the leather? I’ve seen some resources say it’s a good conditioner, and others say it’s very easy to over load leather using coconut oil.

On my phone a fair bit this evening and my pinky is hurting 😭

I’m gonna try and get used to this as I don’t wanna sent this case back

I tried coconut oil (virgin oil, organic top notch quality) on Nomad leather case and it was leaving some strange residue on the leather. Then I got some mink oil and that worked wonders. I got 100g and still have half of it left after a year of using it on various leather accessories.

Yeah, I’m gonna have to return, gutted.

Put the ink case back on and the relief on the finger was instant 😂

This gives me even more reason to cancel my BS order… I think it’s going to be hard to beat Andar this year.

Come on Bullstrap! These look so good, I really want to order one....

I think I’m gonna sit tight now until the Navy Andar comes back into stock.

 

[Supermallet]

Andar gray after about a week of constant use. MagSafe ring is starting to show from using the PopSocket and I can definitely see some darkening along the sides where I wrap my fingers around the edges.

The battle scars come from me trying to get the Popsocket off, that thing has some strong magnets! I haven’t tried any leather conditioners yet.

Sorry to hear it didn’t work out for ya. Andar sounds Luke the way to go if you’re looking for closed bottom.

I left the auto correct mishap because it’s so obnoxious that I just hope someone from Apple is here and sees this complaint. Take it back to iOS 4 days. I don’t even have a like in my contacts. 😂😂😂

I'm about to order my iPhone 14 Pro tomorrow and am so excited! Coming from a iPhone 11. On my iPhone 11, my case of choice was the Anson Calder Leather case in Red. It started off bright Red and now the patina looks like this. Kind of like a cherry wine color.

Now I want to order one for the 14 Pro but wish it covered the buttons a bottom. I can get a great deal on the Apple leather case. I've also had a bad experience with the MUJJO cases (the patina sucks balls) Thoughts or comments?

Love the cherry wine patina. If you want a quality leather covered bottom for the 14, I would say andar is the way to go. My apple leather got a pleather like tackiness after about a month of use.

Warranty replacement Bullstrap Ocean on my 13. Oh I love the grain.

Get that case some lotion!

Seriously though, best leather case out there. I went with Ryan London this year but I wish they had a color like this.

It's only Day 1, there is a lot of time to use leather balm in the future.

13PM after 40 days of daily use. Wish mine was as dark as some who used it for a few weeks

 

[Forbin1221]

I gotta quit coming to this thread every afternoon. Those Bullstrap/RL cases really look so good and I've got another month to wait.....

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

I just put the Bullstrap back on my camera/Apple tv remote 12 Mini. Nice little subsidiary device. Drives the wife nuts too.
