That looks nice! It looks like Bullstrap's Dune after it patinas (attached is new and patina'd Dune, not my photo)

How much is the X raised, can you post a side profile pic of it? If it's pretty flush, I think I might be okay with it.

After 4-5 days of use my slate Keyway case is still about at grippy as a wet bar of soap. I've tried cleaning it with Geist leather care products to try and strip any wax or protective coatings (and to strip the conditioners I applied) from the factory. Still just supper slippery. Until it grips up it's going to a weekend around the house kind of case. It's just too slippery to be used outside the house. I have another couple of days before I'm passed the return period and I may just send it back at this point.

I have a YMW grey nappa case coming and that'll likely be the leather case I end up using instead.
If yours is for a 15 Pro, I will take it off your hands if you decide to get rid of it. Beats the 4-6 week back order.
 
Just got my Slate Keyway case for my 15 Pro Max. Love the feel of it! The leather is really soft. I’m not a fan of the plastic ring around the camera cutout but hopefully I’ll get used to it.
God damn that is one sharp thumb knuckle
 
How does the size compare to the Apple Leather case? Is it thicker? Thinner? Do you know the weight of it? Was close to ordering but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
I would say it’s slightly thicker but less so than BS which I like. I think someone else posted the weight but it doesn’t feel too heavy.

I still have a Ryan London case and the Satchel & Page case on the way. I’ll have my RL tomorrow 😂

What can I say? I’m a whore for leather cases. I was also considering this one lol I had their case last year and it was absolutely phenomenal.

The camera ring is supposed to be metal from the Keyway description. I’d prefer a leather camera bump, but I chose the Slate for the fit, weight, MagSafe strength and color. I’ll have mine Wednesday.

The RL looks good though. Hopefully we’ll get some more impressions over the next few days.

From Keyway’s website, Re: plastic or metal camera ring?

My ryan london finally came in! Left to right are all 3 of my ryan london cases. Middle one was a few months but left most was the most used.

Tried to get photos showing the blue titanium with saddle brown but a 5 year old ipad is showing its age a little right now lol.

RL beats Bullstrap everyday of the week. Wow that is a sharp look case.
To me, it starts off feeling softer, my Wilken reminds me of BS, but the RL just feels very supple. The smell is intoxicating as well when new. The smell of leather rubs off onto my hands for the first little while using the case also.

So it’s soft right out of the box? You have the 15 pro or PM?
 
Mine was certainly soft right out of the box this year. been using Ryan London for a while. They always age the best for me, fit is always spot on and the best tactile buttons for me.

Awesome. My one fear is like the Bullstrap on my 14pm is the open bottom killing my picky using the phone one handed.

Also I will be nice with that logo of yours. Y’all might be in trouble tomorrow.

Soft/supple. Not sure the word for it but yes. It’s also slippery but it gets grippy eventually from past experience. 15PM.
How long did it take for RL to ship out to you?
I preordered it, got the shipment being prepped email on the 17th and received it today.

My past ryan london cases have been very tactile. But on my 15pm the power button seems a smidge more recessed making it a little harder to press, I pushed from the inside of the case and pushed the button out and reglued it in again and it seems as clicky as prior cases now.

Imo the open bottom kinda digs into my pinky but i kinda adjusted how i use my phone once the case gets grippy and i don’t really find myself using my pinky in the usual spot to support the phone.
 
Hi which is overall better cannot decide between nomad horween brown or English tan?
I went with the English Tan version for my 15 Pro Max, I love the color. I do feel that the leather on the Horween cases is softer and will show a patina quicker then the English Tan ones.

Yes sir, lol. I’m certainly nervous about tomorrows game. I hear ya on the pinky and open bottom. I certainly prefer it, its all, subjective and user experience.
