Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

I got my otterbox Cactus finally in my country here in Europe. I am super happy with it. It feels amazing and I don`t mind that it is not real leather. The Quality is great and I also don`t mind the light leak at the usb-c port.

It is the only Case with a metal Camera frame which is not sharp. The Buttons are great.

Yesterday I received this Maogoam Crazy Horse leather case for my 15 PM and I”m really impressed! The leather is really good,nice buttons,perfect cutouts and perfect fit!!! The weight is 39 grams!

Had 3 of the 4 colors. Fantastic thin, lightweight case. Only con is the charge port opening is kind of small and there is a light leak in this area.

Which colors do you have?
I returned the green and brown one and only kept the black. Now, I wish I had kept the brown one also.

Hey guys! I’ve always had leather cases, but this year since Apple no longer offered that option I decided to try out Bullstrap. I’ve been using since the iPhone release date while it has developed a nice patina I’ve also noticed that the luster it use to have has slightly started to fade away the picture here helps to kind of see what time describing. I am wondering if this pretty standard with Bullstraps leather. Coming from iPhone XS MAX saddle brown leather which honestly aged beautifully

I wouldn't bother. Just ask for a warranty replacement from Bullstrap. Cosmetic issues are covered.

This was one of their sample cases so it doesn’t have any type of warranty

I don't understand. What's the problem with that ? That's normal.

Hard to tell because the photo is low quality, but it looks like the pores are almost clogged, which makes me think your case is filthy. Grimy leather will definitely look matte and not glossy.

I have the brown and purple. Both look nice.

Cool, Can you please post a couple pictures of the purple?
Never seen that color in person.

Bummer. Paid like $85 and waited weeks for shipping and the engraving on my Ryan London is crooked. Not sure how that happens when it’s all hand made but I get it. Now to start the return / exchange process. This was my first leather case attempt since September as I really just gave up and used silicone cases from Apple.

Those of you who have the Satchel & Page, does this case eventually get grippier? I absolutely love mine but in all fairness it’s also the slipperiest case I’ve ever used. I’ve used it non-stop for about a week now and it’s still slipping out of my hand very easily, (fortunately I’ve been able to avoid a drop against the floor, but still).

it does, but after 1.5 months I still find that if my hands are too dry it can still be a bit slick.

Yeah could be that could be the case, I ended up getting the closed bottom

So far just a few days with my closed bottom Bullstrap case. Pretty happy with it so far. For those who got it when it came out do you guys have any pics of the progress?

I had two that were faulty, so didn't develop any kind of patina. But the leather did feel really nice after a few days. Got a third on it's way to me now, hoping that one is okay! One thing I will say, don't try removing your phone from the case from the bottom, push from the camera cut out at the top outwards and then carefully remove that way otherwise the thin plastic above the charging port will snap easily.

I appreciate the feedback! Super excited to see how this evolves overtime. Buttons are super clicky perfect snug figment. The only flaw mine has is the USB C cutout is off center, bothers me a bit but I’ll live lol

There’s no gap above the charging port cutout on yours? Mine is off-centered and has a noticeable gap in that area when looking at the phone from the front.

No gap just off center cutout

Nice! Cutout aside I believe it’s the first one I see without the gap. Lucky you!

That cut out looks awful in my opinion.

 

[E92_M3]

That cut out looks awful in my opinion.

Yeah I agree, but all my cables fit perfectly fine. So I think I’ll be fine.

 

[AndrewR23]

They charging $90 for a cutout like that? man I thought apples leather cases were priced high. Crazy pricing today for cases.

Ryan London sent me a brand new case with no engraving and let me keep the old one too. Pretty good CS.
