I love the Aspen cases and have several. There is always an adjustment period where they feel really slippery at first, but then they get a nice feel on 'em.

Same here. After a few weeks they have a great feel.
I love everything about the Aspen EXCEPT the buttons. They have a sharp bezel that does not feel good at all. Almost all the super cheap cases that use metal buttons have better buttons than Andar.

Not leather related, but I've been trying out the Apple fine woven case as I wait for my Bullstrap pre-order to ship. It's very unique. Honestly, I like it more than I thought I would based on the early criticisms.

What do you like about it? I can't find anything positive. It isn't durable, it isn't sustainable, it doesn't age well.

Anyone heard of this company and can say something about it? Case is quite expensive but looks absolutely gorgeous. Full grain leather, oiled and waxed.

Specifically, the feel of it, at least for now while it's relatively new. It's almost suede-like, but not. And it's softer than I expected, it has a bit of a memory foam bounce to it.
 
I ordered an AliExpress Apple knockoff last week and it just arrived, a week after I ordered.

Overall, not bad! £10 including shipping. No idea how good the leather is and it is a little thicker than the official Apple I had on my 13 Pro but it’s definitely not bad at all!

Camera bump is pretty much identical to Apple, only difference is the buttons aren’t really recessed like Apple’s.

Overall though, I prefer it in fit and feel to the Mujjo which is almost 6X the price…!
Does the MagSafe work ok? Curious as to how strong they are…

Give it a month, I have yet to see one that does not look disgusting. Good news is if you bought it from Apple recently they have their extended holiday return window lol

After trying out several cases, I also have gone back to the FineWoven as my favorite. It feels really comfortable, is the lightest weight, buttons are the best, and for me it’s plenty durable. I always am super careful with my phones/cases. I don’t need some type of giant heavy rubber protection.

Agreed. My FineWoven still in great shape since getting end of Sept. Although, been going naked more and more. Such a shame there are no leather cases like Apple’s.
 
bare case delivered today.

Looks and feels nice. Doesn’t really have a distinct leather smell though
Ooh that looks nice, much lighter colored than I was expecting. How are the buttons? They look to have chamfered edges in the photos for better hand feel.
 
I think you’re the first one here! How’s the fit? Buttons? Pinky comfort?

Looking forward to your thoughts!
Buttons are good! Maybe a little “heavy” to push but no complaints

Case is a little heavy coming from a silicone case but I’m sure I’ll get used to it. No issues on the pinky yet

Initial thoughts is I’m a fan of the colour

I ordered it on the 27th like you did and my tracking has not updated at all. What did your tracking show prior to delivery?

This is what my international tracking shows. The USPS/UPS tracking # they provided just says awaiting item
