Just placed my order for the 14 Pro in silver, and picked up a Bullstrap Ocean and Umber Magsafe wallet. Very excited to join the club and post pics.
Since it’s a patina topic. Here some pictures of my used Ryan London Saddle Brown case (Right one) next to the same unused case (Left one).
Already nice darkening and patina. Partial in use for two months. (Also having a nomad horween leather case for the more rugged situations)

Anyone have any 3 month progress pics on the Apple Orange Leather?
As far as I've seen, any leather cases that are both neutral and light (grey, white, off-white) end up looking more dirty with wear than having developed a nice patina, even though they aren't really dirty. It's just the psychological effect of seeing something white go brown-ish in colour
I don't know about Andar though, hopefully they've been able to make a grey case which sidesteps that generally inherent issue.
Well. What amazing quality for £20.
Very subtly a Bluey green colour- probably likened to Bullstraps and Cretanbull’s Marine colour. I would go as far as saying they’re probably the same case, just branded different.
Pictured next to my black RL case for contrast as it’s hard to capture the blue in unnatural light. Buttons, dimensions etc identical to the RL.
I’ll get some pics with it on the phone, when I can.
CB, BS, RL and such like must make an absolute fortune buying cheap Chinese cases and branding them as their own.
Thanks for this! Just put my order in for this as well for my silver 14 pm. 🥰

That looks really nice! Definitely one of the best cases this year. Seems like brown is the most popular color judging by the fact that it always sells out before all the others. The case would be perfect if the camera ring were leather
I personally prefer Andar’s camera ring.
I agree that the leather camera ring looks nicer but those leather surrounds interfere with too many MagSafe accessories ability to sit flat on the case.
Just got it, wow its exceptionally good quality imo.
agree its got a bit of a factory chemical-y smell, but should go away with some time out of the box
Magsafe seems good enough to accommodate wallet and magsafe pop socket too
Color me impressed!

here’s a pic in natural light- hard to capture the true colour even here. It is more Bluey green in person. It’s the perfect, subtle colour IMO.
MagSafe is nice and strong. Probably somewhere between the Apple and RL strength.
Now that that out the box smell has died off, the natural leather smell has come through and is great.
Can’t believe after all these trial and errors of testing leather cases over the last 2/3 years and the perfect one is an Ali Express case.
Will definitely have to check out AliExpress once my current case wears out. The one you have looks incredible, not to mention how little it costs too.
are you guys obsessive about not having magsafe show up on leather wallets with use (wallets, pop socket, etc) or dont care and all part of the wear?
I generally dont care with my silicone and caudate, but questioning which route I should go before I go too deep .
still think ill pop socket since its just so ergonomic and deal with any wear later
but polling opinions here for leather aficionados
