Guys something has happened. I know y’all are some of the best people with some fantastic tastes so there’s nowhere else I’d go to ask.

Anybody in here have a Galaxy and a recommendation for a good leather case? None of the guys that do iPhone cases have anything. I’ve checked Bullstrap, ANDAR, Nomad and Ryan London.

I don’t have a Galaxy (and probably never will) but I believe Samsung makes a leather case. Also I know for sure Bellroy does.

I work for one of the major carriers and we stocked some OEM leather cases by Samsung. I’d maybe give those a shot to see if they’re any good. If it’s the s23 series that is. I don’t recall any other series we had leather cases for but I’d double check Samsung
 
I actually ended up ordering this one from Torras as it has MagSafe built in and it'd be nice to be able to continue using my mounts and chargers.

I heard Samsung leather is quite nice and more on the lines of how apple leather used to be.
I'll have a look. Thanks folks!

I did see the Bellroy nut I’ve never been sure of their leather quality. I’ll have to look into how Samsung did with theirs.
My friend has a Galaxy S22U and he likes both the Samsung and the Bellroy leather cases! He used Samsung’s before and liked it but he preferred the color options Bellroy offered so stuck with the Bellroy. I will say the S23U leather case colors look good so I'd go with the Samsung one, but that's just my opinion!

Have I totally skipped by any pictures of worn Umber iPhone 14 cases?
I’m looking to grab a 14 Pro or Max in April and I’m rather tempted to grab the Umber this time around
There is not many unfortunately because they don’t age well.

This camera protector..... I've been tempted to get one for a while not because I'm worried about protection but because I like the look of it and I hate the dust that collects around the camera.

Do you get much dust build up with this on?

That’s my main reason for the protector was to not stare at the dust and I like the look. Not to noticeable as far as dust with it
Just got one of these through from Amazon.

Love the look against the ink case. The flush appearance of the camera lenses looks better IMO.

I’ll see how it goes in terms of dust build up in the open holes. If I still get it, I’ll just take it off

The two little holes (flash and LiDAR) I just use q-tips once in a long while and that clears it up. My main thing was the glass around the lenses without the protector. That area gets dusty daily and now with the protector I don’t have to stare at those dust anymore.

That’s exactly why I bought it. Protection wise, the cameras are strong enough. I just can’t stand the dust and lint that collects there, especially on a black phone!

I ended up buying a S23+. I always dabble between iOS and Android. The leather cases are definitely limited.

I currently have the standard black leather case from Samsung until a few I bought off of aliexpress show up (expected in a couple weeks). It is incredibly thin and doesn't add any bulk at all. Sort of reminds me of the Apple leather cases where I'm not sure how it will age, but that's why I went black.

I avoided the Bellroy because it has a TPU edge on the front by the screen. I need all leather.

Anyway, I bought the following: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...2X7VjwP&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US and https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...2X7VjwP&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US

Taking a real chance as none of them have the actual picture of the S23+ cases but the shops seem pretty reputable (for aliexpress at least). I'll post an update once the cases arrive. I have to admit its hard to not swap back and use my 14 Pro with the Ocean Bullstrap leather case on it. It feels so good in the hand, ha.
 
Current line up. Well, the Nomad at the top left was used for a short time when I had the 13 pro max and then traded it in or sold it. I can’t remember. The middle Nomad was used for about 3 months and the bottom right is a 2 day old Andar Fitz. I am not totally sold on the Fitz. I still like the Nomad a bunch.

This video will probably keep me using the Fitz for a while. It ages so nicely.

It’s pretty but unfortunately the power button is weird and a little mushy. Not clicky like my other two. So this model will be going back unfortunately. It’s pretty tho!!
Oh, I have the same problem with my Forest Green case. It needs bit of extra strength to push the power button. :(
