Count me in. I freakin' love the case. I switch sometimes to YMW but in the end I always come back.
Actually I was looking for some pics of the black aside from the stock pics on the site.
Totally agree. I want full leather. I find the TPU sides ugly and not as nice feeling in the hand.
pros : good leather, metal responsive buttons, inside extra air space for unexpected falls and rugged bottom not risking bottom side scratches
negatives: feel transition from TPU to Leather when holding, but gets used after a while
will try to post pictures tomorrow
When I first got it I really wasn’t sure about the open bottom, but it really grew on me. Using a closed bottom case feels weird now. Feels odd swiping up with closed bottom case.
Beautiful patina. I’ll share mine a little later. I love my dune case 😍. I actually really enjoy the open bottom as well. It’s so much more comfortable.
Here’s my Blackbrook 12 mini case after 2 years. Really good patina, never cleaned/oiled since new.
I’m now trying to decide if I get another for my incoming 14, or switch to Bullstrap or Decoded.
The single card slot has been quite handy, doesn’t look like it’s an option on the 13 MagSafe cases so I might get a matching MagSafe wallet instead.

Oh no, I had one in my cart and haven’t even noticed the open bottom! Bugger!
My closed Blackbrook has been dropped so many times, I don’t think I’d risk an open bottom case.
I was nervous at first too about open bottom, but now I love it.
Take a look at Andar. They use full grain leather and have closed bottom. I love mine.
I agree. The open bottom is just more comfortable to use. Swiping up is easier. I’ve never had any issues with open bottoms on my cases.
I was pleasantly surprised with my Midnight 14 Pro Leather Case.
I feel like you've had the ink for a while now... how has it fared? Can you post pics of it, if possible??
I won’t be able to tonight. Wife’s up letting the dogs out but we’ve got all the lights turned down for a movie. I’ll try to remember to grab my iPad on the way out the door tomorrow and take some on a break tomorrow.
Thanks, definitely not getting a Bullstrap now as their shipping to Australia is now US$100!
Andar charge $20, Blackbrook $25, Ryan London is free.
