why are you so against it? just curious, I may end up giving it a wipe if I dont like the wear pattern on my orange.
based on previous posts in this thread i think the alcohol + conditioner treatment works well for the lighter color Apple cases but I don't think it would do much for a darker color Apple case.

I have a week old golden brown apple leather case but I'm going to hold off on the alcohol treatment until only the sides darken and it looks ugly.

Is it worth it to use alcohol wipes on Apples midnight leather?
Wouldn't Midnight mask any ugly darkening if/when it happens. Might be good to just leave it until it happens.

You can always attack it with alcohol and refinish the leather once it looks worse.

Im holding out but the literal dirt you can see settling into the creases on the corners of the case annoy me so much.. Its almost like you can see it sitting on whatever protective layer apple puts on the case.

not a case but a nice leather pouch. i’ve had an iPhone since the iPhone 5 and i always end up getting the Apple Leather case and a Sena leather pouch during launch time. a few months later, i just end rocking the iPhone naked. 🤪

regardless, really digging this ‘taupe’ color with my Deep Purple Pro Max.

This is my Umber leather case that I have artificially gave patina. It's still work in progress. I feel the old saddle brown leather case I had for the XS was easier to artificially patina. This one looked like crap at first but the more I sand it and use baseball glove oil and coconut oil, the better it's starting to come out. I've had this case since launch day but I've been prepping it ever since and it hasn't been on my phone at all yet.
 
I know the Apple leather cases aren’t popular in this thread, but damn the Ink case is money! I have the deep purple 14PM and the combo is amazing! Especially if you hit the light right, they pretty much match. I love how the Ink case is all kinds of different shades of purple and blue depending on the light. I think it’s perfect.

This is my favorite color combo since the jet black iPhone 7. I think this might top it, just wish the entire phone back was gloss and not Matt. Don’t love the matt, but it’s covered by this beautiful Ink case. Been using it for about a week and half, and I don’t mind the marks it has already gotten!

Seeing all these RL & Bullstrap cases makes me gonna pass Andar (again). I'm currently waiting for restocking the Camel Tan.

The struggle is real. I would appreciate any help on this.

I have an Andar I like but don't love. I loved it at first. Now I'm waiting on Bullstrap to get their suppliers straightened out all while really wanting to order a Ryan London case while I wait. The struggle is indeed real.
 
Haven't seen a lot of love for Mujjo's cases so here are a couple pics of their Full Leather Case for iPhone 14 Pro in the Blue Monaco color. The last picture is next to the Apple Leather Ink (left) and a Spine Silicone Fit (right).

Had the Ink leather case since Saturday and got the Mujjo today. I like the feel of the Mujjo a bit more, feels more premium (it's not has "smooth" as the Apple one). Buttons are as clicky as the Apple one and the fit is really good (tighter than the Apple one with the same slim profile). Only noticeable difference is the lip around the screen which is slightly taller than Apple's. Don't have any MagSafe accessory to test the strength of the magnets unfortunately.

Oh. That looks really nice. Not as ‘Royal blue’ as I expected.

I’ve just quickly ordered one in whim for Tomorrow to try out.

You say it’s as slim at the Apple case?? Could you post a front view?

I’d cancel the Bullstrap and just go for Ryan London unless you’ve got your heart set on a specific color from BS. The RL case ships right away and is practically the same case with a different logo in a different spot (bottom left corner looking at the display). Wish they had a blue option but I’m digging the Monolith look with black.

Putting the cases side by side, the Mujjo seems barely thicker than the Apple one but in hands, I can't really feel a difference. Added a couple more shots, let me know if that helps.

Thanks.

Judging by your pics, the Mujjo is the exact shade of blue leather I want.

Fingers crossed I can put an end to my hunt! I have the ink at the moment which I like, but don’t love

It’s probably more of giving up the free stuff and the large discount for the delay than anything. It’s too good a deal to pass up at this point. That’s the only reason I haven’t cancelled and went RL.

Yep. After the discount the price of the Bullstrap is closeish to the RL plus they threw in a free AirPods Pro 2 case. It'll be worth the wait, the wait is just long.
