Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

Knowlege Bomb said:
Does anybody else think there should be a separate leather discussion thread? Every year it’s all about which case is better and who ships the fastest and who stamps whose with their own logo and overcharges.

Seeing actual patina discussion and photo sharing is rare as it’s all buried within pages and pages of the above. Would be nice to see this thread get back to the original topic.

Nah. One leather based topic is enough.

Lets take a shot.
On the left side a brand new Wiiuka iPhone Air case, without Patina.
On the right side a used Wiiuka iPhone 15 pro case (same type the Skiin more version). This one has some nice patina.

looks like Lonli edition on Amazon has their 20% off coupon again making it $40

Not too shabby for people who were wanting that one

Wait how long how you been using the one on your 15? I have the same case, used it on my iPhone 13 for almost four years but mine turned dark brown very fast in just a few months (I have naturally greasy hands so it sped it up I guess) now its very dark brown😅

I most say this the Skiin More is the best quality leather case I have had along with now not existing Nodus brands cases. The craftsmanship, the buttons and the quality of the leather and the awesome veg tanned leather smell the first months.

As said used my Wiiuka for several years daily and these last year dropped my phone several times on asphalt etc and these last case protected the phone very well.

I was soo gonna buy several Wiiukas this time around with their never models too, with my upgrade to pro 17 alas they went with covered plateau😭 So sad about that, but they said they plan on releasing plateau open models next year. I really hope so!

Yes I was just thinking the same thing! I got so tired of clicking and clicking and clicking only to see just a few patina pictures scattered here and there. Turned me off from checking the thread😓

We definitely should have a separate thread named “Patina pictures only”with no discussions! I have seen such a sub on Reddit I believe

This is what this thread is meant to be .

Chat about cases other than Patina needs to be in the generic case thread

No discussions as in nothing, other than pictures being posted and maybe just comments on it looking nice etc

I attached a photo of my Wiiuka Skiin More (in use since Feb 2024, I change between that and Ryan London).

Agreed. For me it beats Ryan London, but I love and use both.

To be fair, if it was just patina talk in this thread - they'd be hardly any replies!

Exactly, this thread has been active for 8 years for a reason.

You’re just realizing that now? I remember seeing cat photos on here.

Only in the weekends and I have very dry hands. So not much grease from myself.

For workdays I had a Nomad case. Which was turned really dark.

Btw: this was my nomad case after two years. Much more usage and patina.

Indeed. I enjoy browsing the beginning of this thread, when it was just photos of leather cases. Now it's mostly people talking about what they ordered, how long it takes for their case to arrive, what their shipment status is etc. It dilutes the thread.
