The fact I have always used Amazon for ease of return and refund if not happy. So always been recycling my £50-60's spent on cases.

I bought a midnight Apple leather case from a store last week to stop me chopping and changing so much.

If I get the Andar, I'll be 'out of pocket' unless I sell the Apple one on eBay haha

I love tHat the Andar gives me the illusion of having 2 different cases. Depending on lighting, it looks either navy blue or forest green. Both colors I really like, so it’s been perfect. Buttons feels great too

Big fan since launch. Magnet strength is more than satisfactory for me, but I don't keep my phone in tight pockets, it only goes in my back pocket. I'm kinda glad that they magnets aren't any stronger (like some 3rd party battery packs and MagSafe accessories are) because those leave huge indents on the leather cases. I think Apple found a good balance for their MagSafe accessories.

This is great to hear. Thanks for your reply!

Just chatted with Bullstrap, 14 and 14 pro cases will ship 11/15. Man it has been a long wait. Can't wait to see what you guys get for your pro max!
 
A little photo heavy but I just received my BS cases. Not sure how I feel about them yet, the leather feels a little different than the cases I had for my 12 pro max. And they don’t have the same tiger striping that I liked.

They seem to be made in india now so I’m sure the leather supplier changed.

For reference this is how my ocean blue looked with my 12pm case.

The new one looks like it has a stucco texture. Maybe that’s why it took so long to ship out lol. On the other hand the 12pm ocean looks so clean!

Well, that photo doesn't look like the RL cases I've seen. They must have changed suppliers?

No clue what stucco is but google images look sorta like it lol. It definitely feels kinda soft on first impressions. And it’s not as slippery as a new BS case.

I’ll take photos in the sun tomorrow and I’ll be updating on the patina. I’m going to wait a little before I apply some mink oil.

Oh man these new cases do not look good at all imo. The texture looks awful on the black case and from what I can tell from the images even the buttons look different. My case arrives Friday all I can say is, if that texture looks like that on mine it’s going back.

It’s definitely weird at first. I’m going to give it a chance but i’m not too confident.
