Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

[DaGrandMastah]

I had the Ryan London for my 14 PM and in my opinion, it is a nice case and ages nicely. But it's too thick and chunky.

Apple leather may not be of better quality but they are much slimmer and low profile and fits the phone perfectly.

Do you know how it compares to the Andar Aspen? That's what I have now and find it perfectly fine. I wouldn't want anything thicker tho.

I prefer how the leather is raised around the buttons/camera frame on the RL/BS to those on the Andar. Other than that I think they’re both great.

Yeah by far - especially since Andar's eventually just chips away the black paint. I meant more in terms of thickness since a couple of posters mentioned that the RL case is "chunky". I can't really tell from pics how it compares to the Aspen tho.

Doesn’t feel chunky to me at all and I alternate between it and my Apple Ink case.

I have Andar, BS, apple and RL for my 14P. Andar is definitely thickest among them.

My burgundy Mujjo leather is here and I LOVE it! Love the hue and colour!

Thanks @fifoo for sharing your pics from the same seller on Amazon and gave me confidence to buy this.

The camera bump and the rim itself are both thicker than the Apple FineWoven.

The Aspen is a tad thicker than Apple’s but not as thick as Ryan London. The Aspen also has a closed bottom so for me, for the short period I had them both, it was more comfortable to hold

Looks very nice. I’m keen to grab one, just can’t pick, black or brown.

Do you guys by any chance have a side-by-side you could share? Conflicting opinions on which one is thicker.

If your talking compared to Ryan London/Bullstrap the Andar is easily the thickest of that group.

Ok cool - thanks for confirming.

what about Decoded/Bellroy/Mujjo thickness? are they thinner than RL/Andar? What about in comparison with Apple Leather cases?

You are welcome. Interesting to see it next to fine woven… leather definitely looks better. Is it just me or Apple one is slightly slimmer dimensions ?

I haven’t picked up my evergreen fine woven case yet, most likely will get it with the phone in Friday.

6 months Bullstrap Dune vs new! Not sure how to get a more even patina comparing to the sides?

I am trying to decide which color Bullstrap to go with for the 15 PM and your swaying me a little towards the Dune. The grain on your replacement looks great!

The 'Tim Cook Forbidden Fruit' Ink Leather $28.95+FS eBay special arrived, it's a nice switch up from Midnight for my 14PM

The Ink color has been my favorite for 14 pro max. It wears well and still looks good even a year later. Enjoy!!

Ordered the BlackBrook Mason Burnished Tan. Should have it Wednesday. Also pre-ordered Bullstrap in all-black. iPhone 15 Pro Max (Titanium Black)

Apple got me going to ali express for the Apple 15 pro max leather case in black 😂

 

[iFone88]

The decoded case has just landed and I am seriously impressed.

Slim like Apples, metal navy buttons, the camera ring is also metal navy (not black as per the wesbite), magsafe feels strong (only tested with my apple wallet), a real soft quality leather that smells like leather. This will hopefully patina amazingly. It feels like Apple cases of old. This will not be returned and will be the case I'm going to run. Hope it lives up to what seems like a very premium case.

Pictures will be uploaded, asap.

Here we go. Added a pic next to my 14 Pro apple

it's weird that leather OEM cases and wallets will now be looked back on as 'pure quality' for the money in Apple pricing world, compared to this dubious FineWoven stuff

anyone have any aliexpress links to apple leather case for 15 pro max?
