Not very good pics. If you would like different angles, just let me know. It’s difficult to see the purple.
After 1.5 months, really not that impressed with ANDAR.
I think my apple iPhone 13 case forced patina looked better and had stronger magnets.

Well.
That's a turn up for the books.
Looks painted/coated as per Apple cases the way that's wearing!
I think we maybe need to accept that the coloured, square edged leather cases do not wear well, no matter the brand
Thanks, that’s a nice looking combo!Not very good pics. If you would like different angles, just let me know. It’s difficult to see the purple.
Yea my latest update was Friday morning at 6:54 am. USPS is the worst.
100% Agree... Apple should go back to rounded edges. The cases wear better, the phones look better, they are far more comfortable in the hand. I'm still running my IP11 and I'd love to upgrade but I really don't like the square edge phones.
I haven’t seen pics with +1 month with ANDAR cases. All the photos I found were with the brand new case out of the box.
Now checking their return policy lol
Does the Ryan London case feel rough in the hands? Does it have a nice feel? I had a nomad leather case but didn't like the rough feel at all.
Pulled the trigger on a Ryan London pouch. Can’t wait to get it.
Was browsing thru ig and ran into a cretanbull promo. It’s identical to bullstrap. Since I can’t post videos I took screenshots of the vd. Hopefully it gives a better look at their case.

Eww…you really put it to good use lol. Idk if mine will ever look like that, even with everyday use. But I think with the squared edges of the phone it’s bound to happen with any case. A forced patina right out the box might be good idea so later on it doesn’t end up looking like it’s been thru hell in just a month.
I know. I wonder if they’re any RL cases after a month of similar use.
For those of you who've done a forced patina on your Apple Leather cases, what conditioner did you use once you wiped away the original coating? Just picked up a 13 Saddle Brown case for 50% off and figured I might as well experiment with it.
If you are referring to dark edges I think that’s normal with this design of the iPhone
The stains in back can probably be fixed with some leather cleaner/ conditioner
saddle brown ryan london. pure bliss lol
i did hit it with a teeny amount of beard oil that was left over on my hands from using it on, you guessed it, my beard. it smells really nice

it feels fantastic, literally better each time i pick it up. a little slippery as all leather should be new, but on day 3 it's already nestling into my hand softly
Mmmmm leather porn 😍
Just ordered the dark brown Ryan London. Returning the Andar. How long does it usually take to arrive in the US?
