You will buy a new case 😂

You won’t be able to cope with the fact that case is made for a different model, is actually a slightly different shape and those buttons aren’t perfect.

Let us know which one you order 😂
Bullstrap Ocean on order. I emailed them for an estimate on shipping since it’s backordered and got a response almost immediately saying they’re getting a new batch in the third week of this month (is that this week or next?) and they’ll resume fulfillments then.

I was okay with that until about 20 minutes ago. I’ve been using my phone naked while at home; went for a workout and stupidly left my Cretanbull sitting on the couch. Well one of the dogs got a nice little snack.

Lucky for them I don’t know who did it because any one of them would make for a nice set of mittens.
 
Gooot it. The raised leather around the buttons/camera hump are why I love these cases so much. I’m really looking forward to my new Bullstrap but will be using this Ryan London until it arrives since my dogs just shredded my Cretanbull.
 
So. After FineWoven, Aulumu and dBrand Ghost case, I have decided I miss having a leather case. I don’t want a boring black or brown one. I’m 30 years old, not 60. So I have ordered an YMW case in Deep Purple this time. I was very happy with the case in Blue last year on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. :)

I will keep 1 FineWoven and probably sell the other one. Aulumu is to stay. The dBrand is nice, but scratches like no tomorrow.
 
Guys what do you clean your leather case with? I am ordering a Ryan London case and I have never used leather before.
Most of the leather brands will tell you just to use a slightly damp cloth. You could use a leather specific cleaner, but you'll want to test it on a non visible part first to make sure it doesn't discolor or stain. Personally I just use the case and let it get that beautiful aged well worn patina that only comes with day to day use. But hey, to each their own.

No I agree
It's just that I go to the gym a lot and I have sweaty hands so don't want to ruin my case I use my phone often in the gym to change tracks on Spotify etc...

I actually want to get an Apple Watch in the future!

I have always used big rugged cases like Casetify and Mous so this is the first time me using a leather case. I fancy a change hence why I am opting for leather this time.

Would you say Ryan London is the best leather case to get out of all the options like Nomad, Decoded, Andar etc...?

I haven't had a Ryan London one yet but I hear nothing but good things about it. I'd say if you buy from Bullstrap, Ryan London, Andar, Keyway, Bare case then you're good. Mujjo, and Decoded aren't as good as they could / should be. Belroy and Nomad are good options if you like the TPU sides but most leather purists would never consider a case that isn't full leather.
