Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

Looks exactly like Andars! That should be a good option for UK members. Wonder if they'll have other colours

Yeah that’s pretty much the same case. Their customer service said the 15pro case is 37 grams so it sounds like it’s on the thicker/heavier side like Andars.

My Bullstrap case protects the camera on my 15 pro just fine. As well as any other case I've had including Apple. The only compromise with Bullstrap is the bottom cut out which has pros and cons.

Do you own a Bullstrap case? What phone do you have it on?

I do own the Bullstrap on my iPhone 14 PM. I didn’t use it that much because of the discomfort on my pinky.

No Patina just yet as I barely put it on last night, but I do like my new dbrand leather skin.

The first batch of cases were sold mostly to customers based in Singapore (where we're based). Because of timezone difference, the launch newsletter was delivered to Singapore subscribers couple of hours in advance, and they pretty much accounted for 90% of our initial shipment. The second batch is not far behind, and are already on the way to our central warehouse where they'll be packed and shipped to international customers.

Any plans for additional colors - maybe grey or is the current line-up all you will be offering?

I ordered the same one. Supposed to be delivered today. Can you still fit a case over it? Also does it affect MagSafe strength?

With the way you have to mold the leather around the camera hump I wouldn't suggest trying to fit a case on it once the skin is applied. Plus the skin is relatively thick considering it's real leather. I tested the magsafe briefly last night in my car and it didn't seem to have a problem holding onto the phone. Didn't want to leave it connected too long as it had only been an hour or two since I applied the skin. FYI you will need to apply heat to the skin to make sure it molds and sticks around the camera. Also a good idea just to ensure the glue adheres to the phone. I just lightly went over it with a hair dryer and pushed down on the edges with the microfiber cloth they provide.
 
Got my whiskey Keyway case yesterday. Fit, feel, and buttons are all great. Very close to the Apple Leather case. Only minor annoyance is the "X" at the bottom. I don't mind it visually, but you also feel it because its embossed and raised

This is also the first time in a good decade I'm not using a black case of some sort. Seeing the brown frame from the front is jarring. Probably not an issue for the folks in this thread haha...just trying to talk myself out of exchanging it for the Charcoal version and to give it time to get used to and enjoy the aging process.

Either way, planning to stick with this case, whichever color I decide on.

Ok thanks. If my MagSafe wallet sticks good then I won’t need to use a case when I leave the house but that was my plan.

Keep in mind that as the leather ages it will get darker... eventually becoming a dark brownish black on the edges. It will take a bit of time but the journey is worth it. The Keyway is a great case.

I like the Andar Aspen and Ryan London so far out of all the cases I’ve tried but none of them match the weight/thinness of the Apple leather case overall unfortunately. I upgraded from a 13 to a 15 and I’m genuinely considering selling my 15 and getting a 14 and an Umber Apple leather case and holding onto that for a few years.

Great choice! I am still on the 14PM with no plans to upgrade for awhile. I have an Umber, Orange, and Ink Apple leather cases. Love them, and the Ink is my favorite. Keep them as long as I can.

Does anybody else think the look of the redesigned Ryan looks a lot closer to the Apple design? The current one seems to more reflect the shape of the X/11 series, but maybe that’s me?

The Ink case on my 14PM really is a home run. After watching this and the other case thread I’m so happy I didn’t jump to upgrade like I have every year before. I’ve had no desire to switch my my BS or RL cases lately.

Right? I keep getting reminded why I stuck with the 14pm. The ink with the Deep Purple is just perfection! I actually bought a backup Ink case just in case anything happens to this one. I will get around to showing some pics soon. Got some ding and scratches, but I like the character it gives. Hopefully this combo can get me through the next several years.
 
Does anyone have the dimensions of the Keyway case? Or the Keyway and a pair of calipers? Trying to compare cases. So far I’ve got:

iPhone 15 Pro Max

Weight
Andar: 39 g
Bare case: 39 g

Width
Andar: 80.9 mm
Bare case: 83 mm

Thickness
Andar: 2.16 mm
Bare case: 1.2 mm

Height/lip
Andar: 12.22 mm
Bare case: 12 mm

Length
Andar: unknown
Bare case: 165 mm

*Andar measurement from @rstark18 and Barecase measurements from @Bare Cases

Could you provide the dimensions for the 15 Pro case?
