Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

1 Year Old 13 Pro Leather Case (Dark Cherry)... tbh I personally think it looks like s**t. If I wouldnt have switched to 14 PM i would have probably get myself a new one. I also noticed when I made the photos that it was broken where the volume buttons are. I dunno since when that was there.

But beside the look of it - the feel and grip of the case was perfect, really. Thats why I always buy a Apple leather case again.

Are the buttons about as clicky as oem?

I do find the Ali leather case buttons to be fine but a bit too recessed and mushy for my liking .. though serviceable and I’ve seen worse

I went through around 5-6 Apple leather cases and the buttons on every single one of them were horrible. The buttons on the Bullstrap are very good. I still feel that the buttons on the Nomad case are better but these are just fine.

How do you like the wallet? I have been looking and considering getting the same wallet to match with my RL case I’ve had for 3 weeks. Lol.

It's awesome, very small yet you can have 4+ credit cards. Leather is the same feel and smell as my RL case. It's on sale almost half the price I got mine last September, great value.
 
I am currently using the Bellroy one, which is very similar.

The Note Sleeve is our best-seller for a reason. The slim design features flat bill storage, quick-access slots for your daily cards and a pull-tab section for the rest.

Just debating if I should get another similar one. First world problems. 🥹

My iPhone 12 Pro leather case from Apple also doesn't look good any more. There was a video on YouTube that explained why the patina on the 12 Pro cases looks terrible in comparison to the patina on the older cases like for the Xs. It has something to do with the way Apple finished the leather or something like that.

I recall the patina I had for my Xs Apple leather case and it was good.
 
Nearly 2 Years Old iPhone 13 Pro Leather Case (Wisteria).

Bit of a love/hate relationship with this one. Wisteria compliments the Sierra Blue colour of the iPhone perfectly. The case itself has held up exceptionally well, and it still feels great in the hand.

Not a fan of the patina that has developed compared to my previous iPhone 7, X and 11 Pro cases though. This one just looks dirty and discoloured around the edges and where my index finger sits above the Apple logo.

I had the Wisteria too before the dark cherry and mine looked similar to this after only a few months. That’s why I switched to a darker color. I also think that it looks just dirty and discoloured.

This looks awesome like that. Love the dark borders actually!
