There it is! YMW Crazy Horse Leather in blue. From China to The Netherlands in 9 days!
i was hoping it was going to be more of an indigo blue option
Wow this is awesome. I just ordered the Noix color for myself. Still waiting for it to ship here to the US. How’s the feel? Is it slippery? How’s the smell? Are you able to post more photos with the phone in the case of the front?View attachment 2179459

Thank you!
It doesn’t feel slippery to me. It’s a bit soft, but there is some grip on it. It feels like suede, to be honest. The case smells like leather, but not too strong. The photo below is the best I could do.Wow this is awesome. I just ordered the Noix color for myself. Still waiting for it to ship here to the US. How’s the feel? Is it slippery? How’s the smell?

Patina looks nice but I just can’t deal with open bottom leather cases like these… feels incredibly uncomfortable on my pinky when holding the phone. You don’t have that issue?
YMW. And the worst? Andar (which I really, really LOVE).
It’s a good point you raise.
I’ve got fairly large hands and I’ve managed to devise a way to hold the phone with my right pinky resting on the left hand corner (as you look at the screen).
Not ideal but it seems to work. I do prefer closed cases as well, but I love the leather RL use, so it’s a compromise.
Is it me or does the third pic looking straight on from the bottom seem like the right corner of the case is popping off.
Saddle brown as per pic.
No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you.
However, it is not the case that is the issue, I have a tempered glass cover on the rear of the phone. This causes it not to sit in entirely flush within the case.
I leave it on for the odd occasion that I go ‘nude’.

I have the RL slim wallet in saddle brown which is 8 months old, but it's not that dark brown as your case. Have you applied any sort of conditioner and how often?
I couldn't understand a thing but wow this case looks great!
Not of itself, no.
It’s a neutral colour, but I guess the oils in it play some part, along with regular handling of the case.
Yes, because of the protective coating Apple put over the leather. I took 400 grit sandpaper and removed the protective coating so the patina was uniform across the case. I have the same case as you do.
