How do you mean? The guy in the video doesn’t mention how they went about making room/access for the action button as far as I can see.
Got a tip for us?

I had the same and the Andar Aspen and for the reason above I’ll stick with Andar as it’s good quality but not as thick and heavy.

If you start at 2:08, he unboxes it, and you see a cutout instead of a button for the action button. It’s like all they did was tweak the dimensions slightly to fit the 15s and that’s it is what he’s saying.
Versus adding a button and making it easy like the apple cases do this year. On those cases it’s a dedicated button not a cut out.

I see. Yeah, I’ll take my chances with that though or will return it for the Mujjo case maybe? The fine woven apple cases tear apart quite quickly on the YT reviews I’ve seen.

I’ll report back on how the fine woven holds up while i wait for my ryan london to ship. Wasn’t a huge fan of andar but might give it another go around again.

Guys, I need your help. I want a well-made leather case for my new iPhone 15 Pro Max and had plenty good ones from Andar, Bullstrap and Nomad in the past. But now things are different, here’s my research and decision journey:
Andar Aspen -> the best case overall BUT they missed out on the action button. I’m not buying it with a cutout
Bullstrap -> Awesome quality But the bottom lip is open and I dislike the logo on the back. Plus it’s too expensive (have to pay international shipping to Germany, too)
Nomad Modern Leather Case -> TPU Bumper doesn’t feel great and the case overall adds too much bulk to the phone (they have added extra bulk because of the lanyard attachement spot)
Ryan London -> never had one but people on here said it’s too bulky. And the bottom lip is open, too
MUJJO -> never had one either but didn’t hear good things about the quality. And I’m generell not a fan of embossed logos on the back of the device.
I’m running out of options 🙁 Do you guys have any good recommendations? Right now I’m thinking of just buying an Apple Clear Case…

Since you’re living in Germany. Maybe the skiin MORE. iPhone Hülle Leder mit MagSafe is something for you. Germany company called Wiiuka, they are located in Germany.
Yesterday I ordered the above mentioned case. Not sure about the action button, whether it’s a cutout or a button. But for the time being and since Ryan London doesn’t ship to the Netherlands at the moment. Maybe a good alternative.

Thanks! Looked into it but sadly I’m not a fan of the branding along the camera bump. I want my cases to be as minimalist and subtle as possible :/

Thanks for the advice, but the skiin More doesn’t have an action button as well. A lot of companies really dropped the ball on this one…

Fair enough but I think looking at your requirements and what you've said about each brand, I think you're going to need to accept you may have to take on one or two of this things you don't like.
The 'perfect' case; quality leather, no branding, closed bottom, action button doesn't exist at the moment as far as I know
Your best option is mujjo. Unless you find something on aliexpress. Majority of the leather cases either have tpu around the sides or openings for the cut outs. Mujjo is the only one with what you need mostly. There’s nothing wrong with the quality

I think you're right!! Maybe I'm buying a cheaper temporary case until Andar does some sort of revision of the Aspen. From what I read on here and elsewhere it's a no buy for a lot of people because of the missing button. For me, the Aspen was otherwise the perfect case.
Heck, I'm even considering going naked and buying AC+. My Launch Day Apple Watch Ultra has still to be scratched so the Titanium seems to be quite durable. And the Natural Titanium just looks so good. It's been a while since I had a raw iPhone experience...
I’m in the same situation and I’m looking for the same kind of case. But it’s not really easy to find the holy grail.
Maybe this can help : Lonli Classic :
LONLI Classic - (pour iPhone 15 Pro Max) - Étui de téléphone en cuir nappa européen - Lisse et adoucit au fil du temps - Compatible avec Magsafe - Marron selle https://amzn.eu/d/0weYiyH
It looks like the old Apple case and seems to be just as thin. What are you thoughts ?

Hmm, from the product photos the leather looks really "plasticky" to me and the price is really cheap for genuine leather. Don't know if it's really legit...

I agree with that and it’s the reason why I didn’t order it yet. Any feed back about Lonli case here ?

Going to give this company a try - expensive but checks the boxes for me with good quality leather, hopefully nice buttons, and a good lip around the phone.

I actually got some responses saying that the Andar Aspen case is thicker than Ryan London so take that for what you will. Apparently the Ryan London and Bullstrap cases are the same thing, just rebranded.
