Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

I wish Carl Friedrik still made iPhone cases. The leather they use is so incredibly nice. I have 2 briefcases and 1 wallet from them. Extremely high quality stuff.

That does look very nice.

Their website says preorder 4-6 weeks until shipping. I’d like to see some real hands on reviews before purchasing.

This is what I want from a phone case.

Anyone know about the company bandwerk ? I'm looking for a good leather case for the iphone 15 Pro max.

Transform your iPhone into an exclusive accessory by encasing it in waterproof German leather, protected by a precisely milled metal frame. This iPhone 15 Pro Max case combines style and functionality with durable and sturdy leather.

Looks good but would like to hear from an actual user.

Damn, green looks so good! Which is your favourite? I love the alto but not sure I can get over the cutouts at the bottom….

Favorite is the Wiiuka case. The silicon is quite nice, is being used for work scenarios. (Will be replaced for a nomad horween for working.). The Alto is nice because of the color, leather is solid nice, but don’t like the cutouts. They work properly, but look messy. Could be done better.

The Wiiuka case is best, but prone to smudges because of the open leather. A very delicate case. Already made an imprint with my finger nail this afternoon. But because of the soft leather also could wipe it away. Not sure how it will hold long term though. We will see. At least for now I have enough cases, I can change them depending on my clothes (which I always like tend to do).


Best case overall between 14 pro and 15 pro is the Ryan London. But since they don’t deliver now in the Netherlands I’m placing the Wiikuda case second to first for now. Most soft case I have ever had. Second Ryan London, because not deliverable atm, Alto is nice. Because of color, but came from Taiwan. Although the manufacturer is based in the US. So extra import cost were made while not necessary.

Apple Silicon case is a safe bet. But not sure about long term with silicon and the chipping of the rubber.

Just stumbled across this case manufacturer. The leather looks good. The fusing/joint between the leather and the plastic camera bump looks very clean, compared to Alto for example. Branding on side only. Definitely on the expensive side though.

The price isn’t outrageous if it’s high quality, IMO. However I can’t tell if the Pro cases have an action button because all the photos are for the regular 15.

I think the pictures are old, one of them says iPhone 13 on the cardboard box, so all pictures are probably from back then.

Ask them I suppose, but yes it's bad they don't have a picture showing 15 pro.

And regarding the price I was comparing it to Bullstrap, which offers 2 free replacements per year for about the same price tag as this one from Bluebonnet. That's why I feel it's on the pricier side.

I’ve ordered the navy Andar aspen but I’ve been told by a few forum users of colour bleed onto MagSafe chargers etc. Does anyone else have experience of this? I’d rather not have all my gear stained!

I have not experienced any color bleed onto anything with my Navy Andar Aspen.

This is another one I’m thinking about ordering once it’s back in stock. Just can’t tell from pictures how thin it is. The leather quality seems good.

Tempted to order that from AliExpress just to see how bad it is. There’s no way it actually looks as good as the pictures show.

Does anyone know if the apple leather cases (the leather cases for the 14 models) will feel as good as BS/RL once broken in? I am currently using the ink leather case (1.5 week in) and wondering if I should be hopeful or don’t waste the time and just go back to RL/BS.

I personally like Apple’s leather cases. A lot don’t which is understandable.

You’re not going to get the same feel/wear/patina as a BS/RL case unfortunately

Thanks for the info. I guess I might as well try it out since I already purchased it. I love how soft BS feels. Hopefully the apple leather feels nice too.

I love my ink Apple case. It looks fantastic with the space black 14PM and you just can’t beat the fit. The fact that they’re not making them anymore is a big contributor to my not upgrading this year.

Anyone have any experience with the Andar Aspen in White? I love a white case on a white phone. I have always used the Apple Silicone in white and managed to keep it pretty clean despite daily use. I work in healthcare so good hand hygiene is not a big issue. I've never used white leather before, so I was just wondering if anyone else has any experience with how it holds up. Also, I couldn't help but notice that all the other Aspen colors for the 15 Pro show the action button covered, while the white shows the action button with a cutout. I prefer the button version to the cut out. I've emailed Andar and asked for confirmation.

I may have to buy an Ink Apple case to keep on ice.

 

[Chrisjaylv]

I’m back in my ink case for 14 pro. The fit is just second to none.

It's wild Apple pulled all the leather stuff from the store immediately after the event and didn't even give anyone a single second to buy a leather product from them directly.

Anyone bought Andar Aspen in sand color? Can share how it patina overtime? Thanks.

In case you missed it, the white version isn’t real leather. It’s made from cactus.

Target and Amazon still have them
