Been after a midnight blue leather case for my XS Max but didn’t wanna fork out another £55 on a case.
Picked up a fake from eBay for £6.
It’s not ‘too’ bad to be fair. The buttons aren’t metal, the Apple logo is cut rather than embossed and there’s a black plastic trim around the camera hole which I thought was really ugly at first but it’s alright.
The PU leather is actually really soft and it fits like a glove

Picked up a Bullstrap case for my iPhone 11 Pro, and, well, its exactly as billed. Luxurious, solid, deep color, nice in hand and with a real quality leather smell.
As far as the fit, its nearly perfect, and maybe some time will allow the bottom corners to nestle into the case a little more deeply and securely. For now the leather prevents a full, neat seating at the bottom as it does with apple's (albeit much thinner leather) case. Still its a very minor niggle that many wouldn't even notice.
When I first put the case on it was actually quite hard to get on, as well as the buttons being pressed in from the stiffness of the leather. But I worked the leather a bit, and pressed the buttons further out with my fingertips, and it was then seated well with perfect functionality.
The card slots are very neatly sewn on, and of course a little stiff. I found that the the rear case is tighter (obviously) than the front case, so I use the back one for the thinner metro card and the front for the thicker card. I bet with time you could add another card to the two slots, as the leather stretches with use and age, but for now Im using just these two essentials.
The lack of card slots in apple's case always bothered me, as it was inconvenient to carry a wallet when I really only need a couple of cards with me when going out for the day.
In all a full recommend for this quite nice, and quite beautiful iP11Pro case.

Hey guys my saddle brown has become very sticky I wanted to know if there is a way to get of the sticky feel

The one next to it is actually midnight green just looks blue for some reason
Do you have any leather conditioner? Just buy some (I have the Kiwi brand) and it helps to clean it and will remove some of the stickiness.
Will the forest green leather case actually develop a patina? I’ve had mine almost since launch and it still looks the same.
I have not tried any, but I’ll take a look into it

It will patina. Just don’t expect anything like saddle brown. Forest green will just get darker

Here is an example. Everything eventually evens out to a darker green![369F4AE1-1D8A-4A02-A2B1-917FCECFA02A.jpeg]( "369F4AE1-1D8A-4A02-A2B1-917FCECFA02A.jpeg")
Ive had this saddle brown case for the x for about 2 years. I loved this case and im disappointed to let it go. the led cracked so I upgraded to the green 11 pro. now Ive had the forest green leather case for about 2 weeks, and have the meyer yellow and saddle brown cases coming in the mail?

Hey guys! Just wondering if anyone has the Midnight Green iPhone with either a Midnight Blue leather case or Product Red. I’m trying to see if it’s even worth considering buying one of those colors
Please post pics if you got either of those
thanks in advance!
