Looks beautiful. I’m super careful with my phone but don’t trust myself enough to go without a case. I’ll stick with my Keyway for now just to be sure. But if I ever decide to go caseless this is something I would 100% grab.
Got a tip for us?

I haven’t had any issues with my apple leather wallet falling off but it definitely has a little more wiggle than when it’s connected to a case. MagSafe charger works fine.
Thanks, I added AC+ because I don’t trust myself 100% either. I would stay with a case for the 15 since it weighs less than the pro but the 15pro is the perfect weight without a case.
I’ve been using the technically red andar for about a week, no dye bleed just yet. I didn’t start experiencing minimal dye bleed on my 14PM andar until about a month in. At the 2 month mark it was enough for me to toss the case. As the patina developed the case seemed to bleed more.
I've had two phone cases with a bleeding issue over the years. The first one was a Decoded brown leather case on my iPhone XR back when that phone when it was new. The case didn't bleed any color into my hands, but it did bleed color into the antenna bands on the white XR phone turning them all brown. Unfortunately I didn't discover this until the case had been on the phone for several weeks. The second one was a case on my iPhone 11 from a small handmade leather shop in Poland called Geometric Goods. That case did bleed color into my hands but the owner of the company was super good about it. Turned out he had a bad batch of leather from the tannery and everything that was made with that batch had bleeding issues. He replaced the case right away at no charge and let me keep both of them. Overall I'd say its pretty rare that leather case bleeds. I've probaby owned about 30-40 leather cases over the past 15 years and only two of them had an isssue. Hopefully Andar has solved their issue. That red leather must have a ton of dye in it though to acheive that color so I guess we wait and see.
Well, ya got me on that one!
I'm super happy with my Keyway Whiskey, but the Olive looks great! I was all set to order a green Bullstrap, but this shall do. And the price is much better as well. Thanks for costing me $$$!
What a colour!!
Anyone know if a loophole where I can get one of these shipped to the UK??
Set up a reship account. https://www.reship.com/ I should note I haven't done this but I know others who have. I believe there was someone on here who did this to get a Keyway to the UK too... Can't recall the user name. I'm sure they will see this and comment though.
Edit: It was @RRC Perhaps they can provide some info on this.
I’m using planet express a freight forwarder to get my keyway cases to Australia, via California since shipping outside of USA and Canada is a no go, they are losing so many sales from outside buyers not being able to purchase anything
I know you want one 😂 they were sold out only a couple of days ago and slate is back in stock too
I use a company called Shipito. They have different shipping rates depending how long you’re willing to wait…
That link is their shipping calculator which should give you an idea of cost.
It’s not the cheapest case after shipping fees but you do get the case you want which means you won’t buy endless orders trying to make up for not buying what you wanted in the first place lol.
I’ll agree that they really need to start offering international shipping and do some marketing to get their name out there to the masses as they’re missing out on many sales!

Just received my case today and completely agree. Leather feels great but these are the worst buttons I’ve seen on any case I’ve bought. They catch your finger anytime you brush against them. Did yours get any better with usage?
i would assume so, seems like they need a better dyed sealant. I will note that this years aspen did feel more dry out the box and scratches way easier than last years. I picked up a few scratches just from my nails on day 1.
Did anyone order
Man, this photo plus Black Friday sales made me cop a Bullstrap Sienna case. I had a $15 off coupon on top of their discounted Black Friday price of $71. Hard to pass up.Brown Leather Gang
Most of them are official Apple cases except the two on the left (Bullstrap & Ryan London)

As promised here are some photos of the Bare Case Skin in cinnamon with the natural titanium 15 pro max. I've been on this thread complaining about the long ship times, but now that it's here my initial impression is good!
The color is a little more orange/red than I was expecting, I think their marketing photos bring down the saturation a bit. But it's pleasing. It's a similar hue of reddish brown as the Lonli Edition
The leather is smooth out the box, feels good in the hand, and shows some micro texture/character as well that I like.
I like the copper-like color choice of the metal buttons and camera ring, it complements the color of the case IMO
My buttons look to be all aligned properly, are clicky, and do not have a sharp edge as others are experiencing.
The photos are taken in my office with only natural window light so hopefully they show the true color of the case
Overall having only had it for the past couple hours I think Bare have done a good job. I hope others that have had to reach out to Bare for support with their cases get it resolved. And that Bare in general does a better job with fulfillment times.
Only thing left now is to see how it patinas over time
