my orange case has that peel effect showing up too on the bottom corners, It really is more like a paint chip or peeling in person. Waiting on the navy andar
That’s why I skipped on the bright orange Apple leather case. Too risky for me. Especially with the bright color. And I really liked that color. But saddle brown also does the trick for me.

the peeling happens on every case tho? They are all finished the same. Imo the patina looks just as bad on any 12-14 series apple leather case. The only appeal of the apple brown leather was they aged the best, that doesn't really hold anymore.
 
Was thinking of picking up the Dune bullstrap case. Any users out there that can attest to how they look and hold up after some time? Thanks!!

It does happen to every Apple leather case indeed. But less noticeable on the darker colored cases. If you don’t want it, the only option is another case brand. Which I going to do. One leather Apple case is enough.. the others are the well known brands often referred to on this forum.
 
what else can be used for a forced patina? i dont have access to mink/coconut oil.
what about vaseline or olive oil?
 
going into week 6

Here's my orange leather case for my 14 pro max after about 3 weeks of use. Do not recommend. I am not a dirty person but it has black grime on it. I've had similar colors in the past and not had issues so I may have just gotten it dirty somehow. This pic is after I tried to get it off a bit, without luck.View attachment 2099419
Thinking about returning mine as I already have a skid mark on the back and it's never even left the house.
$60. is a lot for a case that turns to crap fast.
