Idk I think I held it to a lower standard than BS but I also messed with mine a bit to get it grippy. Not sure if it helped or not but I did some mink seed oil every now and then.

Sorry. So in the first photo, top is RL, right also RL.

Better photo maybe, so left to right, RL after many months, most used case since november 2022. Then a new RL in april of 23, but I still ended up using the older one. And then now my wilken on the right that i started using on the 14th while I wait for my new RL to ship for my 15PM.

But during the use of my RL i would use my BS cases for a couple weeks at a time but still came back to RL.

Aliexpress Apple Leather arrived. They really go through great detail to make it feel genuine, down to the packaging. Also, very suspicious how all of the colors offered match the FineWoven cases..

I also bought a "leather" case from AliExpress. Mine is very nice, but I highly doubt mine is leather. It has a strong chemical smell and a weirdly smooth finish to it that I dont like at all. Do you think yours is actual leather and if so could you pls share a link?

Yeah they def won't be leather IMO. PU at best.

Expecting my blue one any moment now

Fake Apple leather in pacific blue is in. Obviously definitely a PU leather but feels good. Fit is very, very tight. Can feel there is a layer of padding under the surface which actually feels quite nice. Buttons needed a bit of playing with to loosen up. Slightly thicker than an apple leather case too. Magnets feel strong enough.

A very good fake to be fair! I will run it until my YMW lands. And dare I say, that I might stick my navy decoded on eBay after receiving this.

The cutout for the action button is annoying, but probably the best case I’ve ever had. Well built, nice colour, lightweight, and zero (and I mean zero) fingerprints.

Woolnut. Highly recommended.

The pebble grain puts off most people. I can’t do it personally.

Yeah, I really dislike that grain too. Shame as I'd tried plenty of cases in the past with amazing fit but have this grain. Think it makes it feel and look a bit cheap

Looks nice. Their website says the Pro Max case weights 45 grams? Does it seem heavy? Wish it was as light as Apple’s leather case.

Great color!

Smooth cases look like plastic to me.

Funnily enough it’s the other way around in reality. Structured leather like pebble grain always have lots more finishing than smooth leather. Finishing is a vinyl coating, as in plastic. Try putting acetone on it and scrape a bit ;)

Ha ha. Pardon me but would you mind putting some acetone on your case and scrapping it a bit for me? Too funny 🤪
