Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

No dings in the metal camera surround? That’s Andar’s only weakness.

I don’t have any. But I always set my phone face down.

I never dropped the Andar case I used and it had dings. He said he had a bad drop so I figured that would be the first casualty.

Not yet thankfully!

I set my phone face up. No dings on the camera surround either.
I don’t know why a certain few keep knocking this.

I am loving my Cotsworld wears 14 pro leather case. It is developing a beautiful patina and received so many compliments on the case.
It is tinier but thicker than apple leather case but provides great protection too.

I caved (again) and bought myself another case. I promised myself I wouldn’t get any more but, alas, here we are lol

That being said, I’m really feeling this BS Maverick 😍

This is what all of your Apple leather case pictures remind me of

How does that happen? Heat?

Seconding this. I’ve had an Andar for a little over a month now and love it. It feels great, handles well, and I dropped my phone pretty badly one night and both the phone and the case were fine. OTOH, my Apple leather case started look scratched and dingy in two weeks.

Have you got a link to the Andar cases?

This Maverick looks absolutely incredible. Shame for me I ordered Ocean for my 13 mini just a few days before they released Maverick color.

I also used the ocean blue with my 13 pro and loved it. Not a huge fan of the logo in the middle (I prefer the minimal look of Andar or nomad) but BS fit is hands down the best

Ryan London sells Bullstrap cases sans logo. There is a small one on the bottom edge instead of the middle of the back but out of sight out of mind.

Just got my Bullstrap 14 Pro black "sample". If this is a sample, I can't imagine how much better the non-samples are. Looks perfect, fits perfect. $20 shipping included using a code for $5 off, this is one awesome deal!

I prefer camera bump on 'sample' one than the 'real' one.

Pretty sure the only difference is the buttons. The Sienna Bullstrap above is for an older model.

The one I posted a few posts back was indeed iPhone 11 Sienna.

There is two difference camera bump between iPhone 14 pro/max case..The black case at the top is the sample one..

One week in. No change to note except the out the box feeling has gone. This case feels a lot softer than my previous few 14 pro apple leathers.

For those that use open bottom cases like the Ryan London case, do you find dust gets into the speaker grills easily? Anyway to limit this happening? Because obviously once dust gets in, it's going to be hard to get the dust out

Honestly I find that I get more dust in the speaker grills with a full coverage case. With my open bottom cases, my speaker grills stay pretty clean. If you notice any you can just blow into them and it’ll get rid of it real fast.

Love my Bullstrap. I have used it every single day since I bought. It’s been on my phone just shy of 4 months. Feels even better than the day I received it. I’ve attached a picture of it before I put in on my phone, and an updated pic just taken a few minutes ago.

I am a heavy phone user at work. I don’t baby the case. May order another color over the summer. Anyways, here are the pics.

That's cheap bonded leather. Not full grain leather. Bonded leather will always end up doing that. Just a matter of time.
