Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

You guys all crack me up. I get such a kick out of how some of you are obsessed about weight and thickness of a case. Honestly is a gram or two or half a millimeter extra thickness really noticeable? I have literally never ever put a new leather case on and thought wow this would be great if it was 2 grams lighter and .5mm thinner. Maybe I just have more important things to worry about?

Did yours have the sharp buttons? If so, how are the buttons on the replacement? I’m still waiting on my replacement to be sent.

Let me get back to you as I haven’t started using it yet. From an initial impression they feel the same button sharpness wise.

Thickness, I kinda get but weight, I’m right with you.

I’m a leather lover what can I say. Coming to the thread is just an escape from things that do worry me. 🤪

I hought a case from Bullstrap last week. It is supposed to deliver to a warehouse which will then help to ship the order to my country. (Direct shipping cost is way too high.)
But now in both Bullstrap and USPS website are saying “delivered, individual picked up at Postal Facility”. I asked the warehouse and they said nothing was delivered. And I guess they would go to postal facility to get mails cos everything was delivered right to the warehouse in the past.

Does it mean my order was stolen? Or is the USPS delivery status not accurate?
Please help.

This is a USPS and Bullstrap question, no one on this forum can really help you. But best of luck, I hope you get your case found

Yes I know. I’ve contacted both USPS and Bullstrap and waiting for their reply.
I just want to know has anyone got any false delivery status from USPS before?

That was going to be my question also.
Although Bare told me it would take a few weeks to straighten out the new buttons and that was last week.

So, if anyone in Germany is interested in the Keyway whiskey for the iPhone 15 Pro Max: I have imported it via shipito and I'm not happy with it. Selling it, so just DM me.

 

[Cerneka]

are you sure? i remember i saw here some comparisons and Bare is much thinner... id be curious which is the truth. Maybe some comparison pics from someone who have them would help.

Have both. It’s not close. Bare Case is much thicker/heavier

Given it says delivered, I suspect that’s as far as you’ll get with that one.

It’ll be the warehouse that you’ll need to hunt down.

Surely there must be a proof of delivery?

These freight forwarders always sound dodgy to me

grams28 leather case. really liked their cardholder so bought the case. Not liking the tpu and non metal buttons honestly. Also with a tempered screen protector theres barely any lip.

Their cases used to look really decent, then they moved to TPU sides and ruined them

How come you didn't like it? Which one did you order?

I got the original batch as well. While my buttons were kinda "sharp" initially, after a week or two of use, they dulled down and are great now. I guess I could complain about the action button alignment, but that's just really not a huge deal too me personally.

Honestly I love the BARE case. It's the closest size wise to apple's and after some use it just feels great in hand too. I am very very happy with it.

I’ve just gotten used to the apple leather cases because that’s what I bought every year so I want a case as thin and light as apples. So yeah I’ve gotten a little obsessed with case weights. My reason is because the biggest feature of the new 15 pro, for me, was the titanium reducing the weight. It was only 16 grams but it feels like a huge difference coming from my 13pro. So if apples case was 27 grams and I get a case that’s 10 grams heavier it feels like I’m pretty much back to using the 13pro. So no 2 grams isn’t really noticeable at in hand but if a case is 32 grams vs 34 grams I’m going to buy the 32 gram case just to minimize how many grams I’m adding back. I’m happy with the bare and Keyway but if somebody finds a 27 gram leather case I’ll definitely buy it because I can tell a difference between 6-7 grams. It’s small but in day to day use I want the lightest case available that has that awesome leather feel.

Agreed, of the 9 or 10 cases I’ve tried for the 15pro the bare has become my favorite. I love the look and feel of it. The buttons are easy to press and very clicky. I just hate when my finger catches on the edge of a button. It’s definitely the closest I’ve found to an apple replacement.

never understood a leather case that doesn't wrap the phone completely

@RRC Well it‘s just not my style :-( I ordered the Full Leather Case Whiskey. Really great quality but as I said, not my style..

Vote for clay. Such a nice color. And it shouldn't get TOO nasty looking overtime if it wears like my 13 pro one did.

The clay looks best.
