Actually, one of their leathers that have multiple color choices do patina. I really think you have no clue what you are talking about and I am moving on. Not nice to bad mouth a mfg you have never tried before or no nothing about. So - think you should move on too. 🙂
Read again, I specifically said "at this price". Yes you can "design" your case and pick the so called bridge leather, but then we're way past €100. Furthermore that's only on the non magsafe case. The magsafe version will not let you pick different leather types.
 
Oh ok, i was going off of site pics. How are the magsafe magnets on them? Was confused since the pics dont show them
The website shows the button. You’ll be looking at them non-pro cases.

Magnets are very good, not quite as strong as apples but still strong.
 
As expected AliExpress coming in clutch! $8.00 + free shipping 😆😂😎 Quality on point. Looks exactly like what Apple SHOULD have made. See pics for reference. Nice fit, metal buttons for action button. Works flawlessly.

Forget trying to find a replacement leather brand that's $60+, just go to the wholesale source 😂✌️

That looks like plastic. It IS plastic. It says PU leather on the product description.

I don't understand why you thought you'd get real leather for $8.

How do you guys read this one? Is it faux leather? Looks truly identical to the old saddle brown Apple case

Doesn't seem to cover the action button?

Doesn’t look that way no, but at least for me that’s not a dealbreaker. The action button is completely useless to me, it’s just a clicky mute button that will get very little use.

Just thought it looked extremely similar to apples leather, it even has the Apple logo, but can’t find enough info to judge if it actually is leather.

It's probably fake leather.
If you want an Apple Leather Replica and do not mind the lack of metallic button, check this one. Message the seller requesting the logo.

This looks like someone is cashing in on the aliexpress cases. I bought a taupe “leather” on eBay for $14 so i’ll post it once it comes in.

Did somebody order the Wiiuka from amazon.de? They don’t mention if it’s the regular skiin or more version, but based on colours I’m assuming the regular one?

Contemplating between the congac and dark brown (but thinking dark brown might fit natural TI best).
 
Ofc not. It's probably PU Leather.
Yeah I want real leather, that also will patina over time. Whatever Apple did with their leather back in the day it was great. Yes it had some kind of finishing to make it exceptionally smooth and you couldn't really see the pores, but man it showed a superb patina so who cares right. That coupled with the best and tightest fit of any case made it a nobrainer. That is what I want and I would probably pay $150 for that. But so far I have only seen options that come close, but especially in the fit department it leaves a lot to be desired.

Anyone got the Decoded in Blue for the PM?

Have one ordered but I'm not sure about the color.

Yes.

Light isn’t great, but second photo has flash on.

*Added a photo I took during the day.

I really think that blue bonnet case might be the one. I’ll be looking out for it!

Blue bonnet has closed bottom, that is a deal breaker for me. Original Apple leather case had open bottom. I do like how they did the lip around the camera though, it is very thin and discrete, as good as it gets for not being full leather. No pictures of their 15 pro case either, though I could live with a cutout for action button.

I hear you. I still look at my saddle brown case from my XS sometimes. I was so upset when i realized the case was different on my 12. Sad days!

I used bullstrap on my last phone for the open bottom.
