RIDGE patina update 30 days
(no cleaning, no conditioning)
Shoutout to all of you who previously recommend Lucky Coin. I finally tried one for my 15 Pro and I can’t believe how great this case is for the price.
If you have any type of OCD with your cases, avoid sadly.
They're lovely cases but so inconsitent with fit.
This looks insane, so uniform. Do you use any product, conditioner, etc; or just use it without any special care?
First time Bullstrap leather case since launch date.
How it started...
How it's going after about 40 days

You're just taunting me with that profile pic 😉It’s never too late
Anyways, I just got a RL as a gift a month ago, so not really considering it, for now. 😅
But come BF, I don't think I'll be able to resist, if I last even that long 🤡
Do you have some patina update photos for yours?
Having had the S&P and now the Andar Aspen I have a few thoughts.
The S&P is amazing, looks great, smell is off the charts. Patina is less noticeable likely due to the leather finish and starting color being darker. I prefer not having the metal camera ring as well.
Andar Aspen feels softer, is a little slimmer all around, pinky comfort is way better being closed bottom and combined with the softness. Patina is coming in but based on others pics, I don’t expect it to look as great as BS and RL.
I really wanted the BS closed bottom but the manufacturing flaws turned me off. Hopefully they’ll improve this for the 16 version.
I think RL is likely the sweet spot for me but I don’t want to buy it now as I expect I’ll upgrade to the 16. Based on everything I’ve read it has better patina than the Andar and is slightly thinner again. I prefer the closed bottom as well.

I cant get myself to like the RL. Gonna post it on MP later. RL Black 15 Pro used for 3 days. I tried with the leather probably 6 different kinds and they are just a bit too thick for me. Hoping apple can replace that horrid finewoven with something diff next year

I keep meaning to get some updated photos, will try to remember tomorrow
I think every iPhone user should have a SuanPot Phone Case.

I’m getting a replacement next week due to the misalignment of the usb c. Let’s see if they get it right this time.
