I tried the sand and I’m going to return it. The leather doesn’t feel great and the case didn’t fit that well, there was some separation at the bottom of the phone. It’s also thicker and heavier than most of my other leather cases. I went back to the bare skin and I think I’m sticking with it. They have a navy but I don’t think I’ve seen a pictures posted here.Really want to try the Sandmarc Minimal Leather case in Navy. Seems like the best option for Blue Ti phones.
Shipping to Australia is pricey though and I dont want to be burned like I was by Andar.
Anyone tried it yet?

oh sad to hear that. My Sandmarc will arrive on Wednesday. I don`t like the Bare Navy. It is a 1:1 copy of Andar but with green instead of black buttons. Also both cases are much more green than blue.
Hopefully you like it better than I did. It just has a hard feel almost like a pu leather case that I didn’t care for.
I think the sandmarc texture is very similar to the mujjo cases, which isn’t very popular on any leather case discussion. Wouldn’t be surprised if they were also painted to add colour as well.
Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the Kordiz Impact leather case. Pictured on my 14 pro max. The case reminds me a lot of the Nomad cases. Possibly even made in the same factories… looks great, feels great, see where it goes.

Here you go. Sorry for the delay.

Bullstrap was kind enough to send me a closed-bottom replacement case after I told them my buttons were misaligned. The new case's charging and speaker cutouts are slightly off-center, but the buttons are way better. There is also no gap between the phone and the case near the charging port on this one.
Leather quality is great on both.
I'm curious if they'll sell enough of the closed-bottom cases to make them in more colors or continue this style for the 16 series.

They did say on Instagram that new colours are planned for towards the end of next month, and that closed bottom cases for the 14 Pro / Pro Max are due in around 2 months as well.
Is the lip even around your screen? On mine the corners were nearly flush with the screen
I would say the lip is deeper at the top of the screen than the bottom. But there's no spot where my screen is nearly flush with the LP.
Have you got a screen protector? It may be an oversight but I’m guessing it’s been designed and tested without a screen protector as with one mine is nearly flush but without there’s plenty of lip depth.
32.7g versus 33.7 for the open bottom which is surprising. Weighed them brand new, they gain some weight after a while from the oils.

Just received my tech grab bag from Andar where they were selling off stock where you basically got a lucky dip of 3 cases for your chosen phone model that had minor defects or didn’t have the action button etc.
Got tan, technically red and the blanc cactus leather white one. Very happy with that little selection for $60!

Decoded has a buy 1 get 1 free sale now. I would've taken advantage of this but I already bought one from them months ago. Good leather case.
I was tempted to order one of those bags.
If I’d got those three cases, I’d be disappointed with all of them.
Glad I resisted the order 😂
That looks nice! Is the bottom better than nomad?Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the Kordiz Impact leather case. Pictured on my 14 pro max. The case reminds me a lot of the Nomad cases.

I tried mine and the color is perfect. I had a bit of a strange feeling because the case feels very hard and not like a soft leather. But I like the color and I don`t mind the PU Leather Feel. It is grippy enough and it has a tight fit.
Yes it feels similar to the mujjo but it is much better. The Mujjo has sharp edges and the Sandmarc has rounded one. The case feels much better in the hand. And it fits much tighter than any mujjo cases I tried for the 14 and 15 series.
I will stick with it as for me it is the best looking blue leather case on the marked. All other "navy" or "blue" leather cases are more likely green and not blue.
Would you be able to post some pics when you have a chance? I liked the mujjo blue case but returned it due to the incompatibility with magsafe (huge camera ring).
The sandmarc in navy seems to be the one for me by the sounds of it.
Thanks!
