Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

RRC said:
Just received my new leather Cotswolds Wears case, and it is perfect!

Has a rustic already patina’d finish, grippy but nice feeling in hand (not sticky).

Highly, highly recommend this case! And the best part is it’s only £30 from Amazon or direct from the supplier.

Can we see some pics, taken by you of the case rather than the Amazon images?
 
As promised…

The camera surround us actually metal like the buttons, and if the case gets marked you can simply rub it as you would any decent leather and the mark dulls right down. Can certainly see this case looking really nice patina wise after long term usage.

Is the Ryan London case worth the hype?
I normally use MOUS cases but fancy a change to leather.
I don't like the fact that the RL case bottom is exposed...does the phone pop off from the case?

It’s definitely worth the hype and no it won’t pop out. The bottom exposed doesn’t bother me anymore. It actually greatly improves swiping. I never drop my phone though.

Oh okay.
Is it your main case? Also what do you clean the case with..
I have never owned a leather case like I said, I always use Mous cases with my iPhone.
 
I am also debating which colour RL case to get. I normally get Black but I am tired of Black lol

Saddle Brown or Dark Brown? Anybody have both and can compare? I am guessing Saddle Brown will get dirty/show marks more?

Picked up a barely used Apple orange leather case on eBay for £20.

I know they age awfully, I’ve been waiting weeks to get one cheap because of it but I love the look and the ‘pop’ against the black camera module.

Can’t wait to get it

With Ryan London, bullstrap, cretanbull cases you don’t need to clean or condition them. Your oils from your hands will make it patina very nicely. It’s not my main case. My main is bullstrap which is basically the same case. I would pick saddle brown cause the patina is amazing.

I was gutted with how quickly and terribly it aged. Shame as I too have a black iPhone and the orange looked amazing: just a shame it was such a short amount of time :( Even the paint on the buttons chipped away quickly. I do a desk Job too, so nothing really dirty.

I hope you like it though-you may be happy with wear, I’m just super fussy!

Ahh I see

I will order the RL Saddle Brown and hopefully I like it...Like I said, I normally get Black colour cases but I fancy a change..

I must admit, I am not keen on cases where the bottom is exposed, but I do have Apple Care Plus in case I was to drop my phone and crack it. Does the RL case have good grip?

From the start it’ll feel slippery, but within about a few days to a week it’ll be super grippy! RL gets grippy fast 👍🏼
