I’ve also ordered two ymw cases. One is a nappa leather in black which looks similar to the decoded and lonli and another is a crazy horse leather one in brown which is basically identical to the Ander. Both for the blue PM

Got the eBay case in today. Pacific Blue. Definitely not real leather. Maybe it’s Vegan leather? But for less than $20, you can’t go wrong.

Pictured next to my black Finewoven case.

Edit: on further investigation, I think the poster that said it was TPU is probably right I can’t scratch the case with my fingernail.

Actually looks really nice. Does it seam as minimalistic as Apple’s former leather case?

It’s for sure bulkier than the Finewoven case. Not sure how it would compare to the former leather case, but I imagine it would be pretty similar. Leather is probably thicker than whatever the Finewoven material is.

Yeah I got the leather cases from ali express, used it for a week, buttons were too hard to press comparing to apple's cases and leather didn't feel like real leather, took it off and got the FW case again.

Search YMW. They do an array of real leather cases, all different types and styles. They are slowly dribbling the release of the different types for the 15 series

He has some Alcantara cases for 15 series too. Do you think they are also worth it?

Got my taupe case from eBay today. The packaging looks OEM! Case itself is pretty good, fitment is great, cutouts great, smells like the iPhone 12 apple leather cases did. Has the magsafe animation. The drawback to this case is that the magnets are weak, but for $7 shipped I cant complain.

Digital scale/caliper measurements: Weight 32g, 11.7 mm thick, 75mm wide, 150.4mm long.

stick some paper between the buttons or and the phone. Increases the clickiness

Hey guys, so what's the best leather case you've seen for the 15 pro max? Any recommendations off aliexpress or eBay?

Waiting on YMW leather case to come in. They've gotten pretty good reviews if you search in the patina proud thread. Here's what's available for the 15 series so far: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/gr...2624.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.0.0.d4151sZn1sZn6l

Someone just got the Nappa one in here: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...one-15-plus-pro-pro-max.2400406/post-32645453

Thanks. I am getting a "page not found." Perhaps they took it down already?
