It’s no scam. Even if it is then I will just do a PayPal claim. Got an email saying orders will be shipped soon.
Huh?

I received my Andar aspen cases today.
Camel tan and stone grey.
The quality is better than my Apple leather case and the leather smell is also really nice.
I noticed that the stone grey colour is darker than it looks on Andar’s website.
(Pretty sure someone else on the forum mentioned it too)
It seems to have some sort of light brown shade to it in certain lighting.
It’s still a really nice colour, it’s just something to keep in mind if you find yourself interested in the shade of grey that you see on their website.
So far I’m happy with them.
Now let’s see how these look with time.

That sucks. I thought ours were traveling together based on the order date. I am still stuck in the customs which will probably be another day.
I just received my iPhone 14 Pro Max dune Bullstrap case and magsafe wallet but the wallet seems a bit loose when placed on the phone. Like, the bottom part of it wobbles a bit. I seem to recall someone on here mentioning that Bullstrap was releasing newer magsafe wallets that might provide a stronger connection? Does anyone have experience with their magsafe wallets? It doesn't seem like it would easily fall off but it's just a bit wobblier than I was expecting. Thanks!
My RL just processed through a facility in NY (whatever that means).
Thanks for this. Ditching my Apple Golden Brown case for a RL Saddle Brown.
I think the issue is that their accessories lack the vertical stabilizing magnet on the bottom. I received a wallet from them last year that was so weak I had to return it. This past summer I got another one and while the magnet was stronger it would still rotate.
Say what you will about the quality of the leather on the Apple cases, but I might have to go back them because of the magnets. I’ve used Andar and Bullstrap and both of their wallets have a weak connection. As someone who uses a ton of MagSafe accessories, it’s something to consider.
My hunch is that the leather quality has torpedoed on the Apple cases because they need the leather to be thin for the magnets to be strong.

So that brings up couple questions. What’s more important, strong magnets or better leather quality? Is it possible to have both?
I ordered last Thursday, but it would have been pretty late London time.
What do you clean the case with in general?
I know oils/dirt in our hands can effect leather and make it appear dirty etc..I am told it is not smart to clean it with a cloth and Water/Baby wipes.
Leather cleaner?
Did you end up keeping your bullstrap wallet? I'm debating whether or not I want to keep it. I tested my blstrao case with the official apple magsafe wallet and there is a it of wiggle with that too but the connection seems to be just a bit stronger than with the bullstrap wallet.
