I bought the leather conditioner off Andar, but don't think it makes any difference. Doesn't make it smell or feel any better.Do you guys use any kind of conditioner on your leather cases? If so, what brand?

Except for the branding on the back which is pretty ugly. I'd way rather have a bullstrap logo on the back than what Ridge did. Heck I think I'd rather have the Keyway X too.Full grain leather, lifetime warranty, 99 day return policy, $45 case, free shipping on $35+. Ridge seems to have gotten it all right. I just can't justify another case.
I wonder if it’s covered with the Apple wallet? No way that’s worse than the X that falls out and gets water damage underneath. But I agree with you. It’s a drawback for sure.Except for the branding on the back which is pretty ugly. I'd way rather have a bullstrap logo on the back than what Ridge did. Heck I think I'd rather have the Keyway X too.
I purchased some off Amazon called cobblers choice because it has the same ingredients as the Andar one and it works fantastic.Do you guys use any kind of conditioner on your leather cases? If so, what brand?

It's a Bare Case which is nothing more than a $3.99 Aliexpress case that has been rebranded by Bare. Bare is the absolute worst place to ever purchase anything from. Avoid them at all costs.
The customer service I received from Bare Case was terrible. No response to emails, extremely SLOW shipping and it was just a bad experience. The $56.00 Bare Armour case I received from you was the exact same case I purchased on Amazon for $19.00 only difference was the Bare logo stamped into the side of your case. 100% exactly the same case.

Sadly to say, all of these premium leather case companies do this. They buy and source everything from china. And then they stamp their stupid logo on the case. When you can find the same exact case for dirt cheap.
The same thing happened to my torro leather case, it never happened to my apple leather casesWell my second closed bottom bullstrap case is also suffering from the same issue my first did… the section above the port at the bottom is too weak and after a few removals, it snaps inside the leather.
They’re now sending me a regular open bottom as a replacement instead as I’m not going to even try a third.
It is a very nice case if an open bottom version is what you want, I just wish they had a couple more colour options...Thinking about taking the plunge on the Satchel and Page case during their 20% off sale. Anyone still using this and what has been your impressions on it?
Do you have a more recent pic of how yours looks after some time using it?It is a very nice case if an open bottom version is what you want, I just wish they had a couple more colour options...
It also marks very, very easily as it's a very soft, yet solid leather so expect quite quick patina.

The ymv I just posted above cost less than half of these brands you mentioned and it came with nice packaging. The leather this company uses is top notch with leathers many other brands uses. I would buy from again over these brands that charge 70+ for not much better or even same quality cases.I mean that's just manufacturing basics though... It's not really much different from Apple farming out manufacturing to other countries and factories etc. If it was that simple, you'd be able to find all of the cases on AliExpress, but there's nothing like the Nomad cases, none of the Bullstrap cases with their colour options are available same with Andar... They may get the same factories to produce them, but the leather quality, buttons, colours are all different and are unique to that company, sometimes sourced from their own suppliers etc.
The YMV cases are nice, but the camera rings are different, as are buttons and the leather often has nothing applied to it, so they're often very dry and unprotected. They also don't come in any packaging, or with any warranty.
The good thing is there are cases for all needs/wants and budgets on the market, and nothing offered by Apple that leather case fans can even buy.
RYAN London cases are vegetable tanned and Bullstrap is chrome tanned. How can you tell the difference?
