Has anyone got any other suggestions for a full coverage (no cutout) top/full grain leather case for a 15 (non-Pro) that will ship internationally?

- Andar Aspen currently seems like the best option (brown out of stock atm)
- Decoded looks okay but not a fan of their ring
- YMW Crazy Horse looks good but no stock of 15's

I've ruled these out:
- Keyway won't ship internationally (and not fan of the X)
- Ryan London, Bare Cases & YMW Nappa only have Pro sizes
- Bullstrap & Blackbook only have cutouts (love my current Blackbrook 12mini case)
- Lonli Edition seems like a good cheap option but 15's say "unavailable".
- Mujjo leather has poor reviews here

Anything I'm missing?
Decoded I think would be a good option. The writing on the camera ring is pretty small and subtle and well in use you never even see it until you rest your phone screen down.

I liked mine although I did ultimately return it and wound up with the bare case eventually

I like the bronze camera ring color on the decoded a little better than black ring and buttons as on the Andar and others. Feel like it matches the brown leather a bit better. The black ring though will go well if you have a black phone

Bare cases, after I found a defect with my Andar, I’m sending it back and ordering one of Bare’s leather cases

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
Welp now I have another case on my radar
-_-

Gonna see how I like the ryan london closed case before I buy the bare case though.

There is no such thing as too many cases. J/k
 
Journey has TPU sides which is fine, but on their 15 iterations, they are using vegan leather. Ewww…..

Sadly it seems far too many companies are switching (they claim the reason is the environment but it's really cost) to vegan leather - shame as you cannot beat a nice quality proper leather case IMO.

I've got 2 other Ryan London leather cases, 3 keyway leather cases, a Decoded leather case and a Pelican protector case (non leather) - It's got to the stage where my wife just rolls her eyes at me when the postman delivers anything larger than a letter! 😂

Are you based in the US? I ordered one for the 15PM earlier this month but haven’t received any order updates besides “expected to ship in early December”.

I’ve never had a Ryan London case and I’m eager to see what this new version is like

I’m in the UK and I pre-ordered literally as they opened up the orders so yours I would expect should update soon

It will be worth the wait, their products are excellent.

It sounds like you just have good taste. Your wife needs to get on board. Does she have a nice leather case?
 
Has anyone with button issues with @Barecase got a DM back from them?
They said to DM them in this thread and I did but haven’t heard back.

No I sent a follow up msg today but no response yet. It’s unfortunate about the buttons cause out of the box the bare case has the nicest leather feel of any of the cases I’ve tried for the 15pro.

Which color phone are you pairing this with?
Natural Titanium.
I was undecided between brown and black leather, maybe black would have suited it even better, I like the fact that brown is kinda bicolor though because it has black camera ring and black buttons.

This is how it will look like:

I sent them a dm once here and never heard back. I had two responses on email but it took several days for them to reply. You might have better luck just contacting via email directly
 
Thanks a bunch for your honest thoughts on our Bare Skin case. We’re super glad you’re liking the leather! But yeah, we hear you on those buttons – that’s not the kind of experience we want you to have.

A handful of cases appear to suffer from a less-than-perfect batch of metal buttons - the chamfers on some of them are quite harsh.

Good news is we’re already on it! The factory that does our buttons has already been informed, and will be making the necessary adjustments to ensure future ones come out perfect.

If your buttons are not up to scratch, please drop a DM, and we’ll sort it out with a replacement / discount towards the purchase, or future purchase. Your feedback’s a big deal to us – it helps us make even better cases. Thanks for sticking with us while we fix this!
Dm’d you on Saturday
