They look exactly like Andar.
That green is stunning. Gonna check those out.

You are most welcome!
The only MagSafe accessory I own is a backup battery, which actually arrived the same day as the case. (Bought it for travel as it was on sale.) I just opened it and attached it to the phone with the case on it… the battery and encased phone seemed to grab hold of each other quite well, and I couldn’t shake the phone loose while holding just the battery. (Not shaking too hard, of course, but reasonably hard.)

Ordered! It will be interesting to see how this one lines up next to the Andar and Keyway. Hopefully one of them will be the clear winner and I can return the others with no regrets! 🤞
Thanks again!
Hey guys, I finally received my Lucrin Calfskin Leather pouch. I went this route hoping to find a replacement for my IPhone 12 Pro’s Apple leather slip case now that I’ve upgraded to a 16 pro max.
The fit and finish as far as leather goes is quite nice, it’s soft and supple and feels like a luxury leather glove. I also expect that the way it’s been treated it would not likely patina without much extended use, which is alright since I went with Royal blue and don’t often like the way blue leather patinas.
The downside to this is that it’s about as protective as a leather glove. They did not reinforce this case in anyway, it’s just leather with a microfiber lining, and none too thick either. There is also nothing to keep your cards in place if you remove your phone from the slip, making the pouch a liability. Overall I’m fairly disappointed that it comes no where near what apple produced, though the leather is a far better quality. I’m going to try and see if I can fit the 16 pro max in the 12 pro max case, as the dimensions are fairly close (they are only 8.99 on amazon atm
) and if that works out I’m sending this back.

Wow, IFone88 is right that it looks very much like the Andar case, other than the colors. I do like Andar’s red, if it’s as dark as it was in another post I saw on here. Might have to look out for that one as well.
I like the general look of the Keyway cases, but can’t abide the big X logo on the back. That’s another thing I like about these Le Pelle cases - no logos anywhere, except on the inside, where you don’t see it.
I had a decoded leather case in beige for 15 pro max, if you like leather feel and smell stay away from this, feels like plastic, no patina at all. I didn’t like it, Bullstrap is miles superior in every way.
I’m almost certain they are the same as Andar’s
How easily/bad? We are pretty careful with our phones. I still prefer Bullstrap but my husband insisted on RL
Does anyone have a Bellroy leather case from past years? How well do they patina?
Got this Agave colour for 16 PM but doubt it’ll darken or patina at all.

Thanks. Doesn't look all that good compared to other options (Bullstrap, RL, Luckycoin etc)
Nowhere near BS or Ryan London. It feels the same like the painted ones apple used in the last few years of their leather. I would look elsewhere if patina is important.
Gorgeous!!
how do you like the CC cut out? I’m currently using apples case where it’s covered until my BS ships next month. Secretly wondering if they plan to revamp it in a few months to accommodate the cut out…
Thank you! The patina looks even cooler in person. The camera just couldn't catch all the darker spots.
Honestly, I'm totally fine with the CC cutout. No issues using it, and I quite like it.
I really doubt they'll change the cutout. The only reason they might switch it up is if they add a button like Apple's silicon case. They'd have to redesign the case for that, and I just don't see that happening. Could be wrong, but I don't think they got this one wrong personally.
I wonder if
I asked BS this exact question, so I will keep this thread posted. Looks like other manufacturers have been able to do this, so I’m hopeful with the delay in shipping, that BS also figures this out.
I asked as well They gave me pretty much the same response lol but yeah mine isn’t expected to ship till 11/5 anyway. So we shall see!
This is also good to know. Just as long as that area doesn’t scratch and is easy to use then I’m good 👍
I just realized, if you are waiting on the Bullstrap, you are getting the contemporary correct? The fully closed bottom one.
We still don’t know what that case will look like, so everything I said could be different about that case.
