Brown Leather Gang :)
Most of them are official Apple cases except the two on the left (Bullstrap & Ryan London)

Just order (yesterday) the RyanLondon

Black Friday 10% off

 
View attachment 2315150Just received my Bullstrap 15PM case. The leather is nice and smells awesome, it's a little dry so it might need some time for it to be supple. But overall am happy with my purchase!
(Ryan London Airpods Pro case on the left)
How well does the lid cover for the AirPods stay on? I tried the Andar case and it had a little 3M strip to stick to the lid and it wouldn’t stay on.
 
Anyone running the lonli edition for over a month? How are they holding up? Giving it a try and it should arrive tomorrow.
I am using mine just over 6 weeks and it’s still my all time fav case, Patina is coming beautifully.

I know some people had issue with it mainly with MagSafe alignment, I don’t use any MagSafe accessories so not a bother to me.

I have in black and brown but brown is so beautiful, black is still in box.

I put some Venetian shore cream on my case and it absorbed it but it wasn’t thirsty or super dry to begin with.

Still looks the same but feels a tad nicer now

It actually never came off! It's also held in by 3M tapes as well.
I'm guessing you might have some dust stuck on the 3M tape, making it hard to stay on.

I agree! I think my iPhone X case is still the best feeling case (or untill my BS case break in)

Yes agree! The BS break in is pretty nice, just can’t do the cutout on the button. It hurts my hands. I just got my hands on the Bellroy Mod case for my 14pm. The leather on the back is almost a perfect match and feel of the Apple leather case for the X. The TPU front isn’t my favorite, but it’s a nice case.

Sounds nice to hear then. I figure since it’s on amazon if I have any issues i’ll return it. How does it look after 6 weeks? My ryan london got dark quickly but that’s also due to my work and how I use the phone during the day.
 
Well my ali express apple leather case arrived today. Will add it to the rotation and see how it wears.

Top to bottom.

Ryan London. Burgundy. $50
Bullstrap. Black. $74
Ali express apple. Purple. $12


The value play may be the Ali Express. We will see

They all look and feel good in different ways.

You and I have similar set up. I feel like BS feels the softest.

My Ryan London feels the softest and thickest, also the slipperiest right out of the box.

I will have to break out the digital caliper and measure the width of all 3 when installed.

so I can't really justify two cases in my rotation when my main preference is to use my phone without one. Any one have experience selling cases on eBay? after fees n etc is it even worth it?
 
I can tell you from experience Nomad can sometimes make some really wonky fitting cases.
Last year I bought 1 Horween, 1 non Horween case from Nomad, and I bought another one this year and have had no issues. Cases fit perfectly and the buttons the last 2 years have been the best from any case I have ever owned, Nomad or not
 
Have no idea where to post this, but this thread seems to get a lot of action. I've got a Story Leather black, pebble grain leather belt clip holster for a 12 Pro Max that I never used. I ended up going silicon on the 12, different colors but always silicon. So, this holster sat in the box since I took delivery. It even still smells leather fresh! I'd certainly use this with my 15 PM, but it does not fit. Even naked. So, I custom ordered another unit from them with added dimension to fit the 15 PM with the Keyway case. Pricey... even with a discount it's $120.

Here's a few pics, if anyone can make use of this let me know. I guess send a PM? I apologize for "thread dilution" :)

The fees are minimal. But I believe your first 30 listings are free. The final sales fee might be like %. It’s only worth it if buyer pays for shipping or you’re selling it for $30+
