View attachment 2161365View attachment 2161368Hello everyone,

My Apple case-Umber.. first iPhone, first leather case, probably nothing amazing for you guys but I love it, in real view and daylight looks a lot better than on the photos it's more brighter brown..
What you think?
Did you use any conditioner? Or is this just the natural patina? I just got a brand new umber and I want to know how to keep mine looking nice like yours.
 
I took advantage of that target deal and received this gem. The buttons were a little bit mushy at first, but luckily I was able to break them in. I will try to take more pics later in outdoor lighting.

This is how it arrived. I personally don’t mind it like it when they have these imperfections. Imo it just further proves apple still uses real leather

Isn’t this your oem leather second case that is creased?

Impressive luck, all I’ve seen have looked like they don’t have that and look clearly of an inferior quality overall

Yes pretty lucky I must say, my midnight leather case also has the same creases
 
Those with Andar cases, do you just use a sharpie to fix the black paint that chips off the metal camera frame? Feels like I would have to always put my phone with the screen faced down.
 
Ink. 9 weeks.

One with the wallet for good measure.

I feel this one is aging better and with less stickiness than the one I got on launch day.

That looks great! I originally wanted to go with ink but didn't like the purple tint so went with midnight instead.

6 and a half months Umber case versus new Bullstrap Dune.

Is it recommended to condition the new Bullstrap case before using it, or cleaning + conditioning down the line?

Definitely just down the line. They may feel a little grainy and dry from the start, but that’ll change fast from the oils of your hands. I love my dune!

I also have the leather case Ink. And it developed a “patina” after a few weeks and I dont like at all. Yours has it too a little on the edges. The blue color slowly fades away.
 
Does anyone have the YMW crazy horse Noix color? I am interested in the color and unique features but wanted to see some more photos of a patina.

Yep, it does.

Doesn’t bother me too much as 90% of the case will remain the colour because it’s the phone isn’t held across it’s who surface area
