OK my Pro Max Ryan London in black arrived today.

-Thoughts...
Impressed, 9/10 – defo worth purchasing if leather with CC button is the thing you want in your life!

The buttons are a little stiff, but they'll ease with time. The CC button makes it much better than a bare hole there, and while I still think the CC button is fiddly as a control mechanism generally, the slider on here is as good as the actual one IMO. Cutout is decent for most cables to plug-in, and while you can just about see a tiny gap from top to bottom, it's so tiny that you'd have to be completely anally retentive to have a problem with it; so it's a non-issue.

Overall, I'm loving having proper leather again, IMO nothing is as nice to use daily and as comfortable in your hand, giving a satisfying feeling when holding.

- Pics:
See the pics previously promised below, though be aware they had to be boosted with false lighting as time was after 15:00 in London in Winter, so dark grey skies through window made difficult getting good shots!

Thanks! £29 to the UK.

Might have to press the button on it given all the rave reviews

Nah, I'm gonna leave it until more pics surface.

I think a Suti Phoneback will be my next order, if I'm brave enough to drop £55 on one

Thanks for the photos. Per your tagline info, you have a PM, right? Would love to see more reports on the Pro version.

Edit: duh, you said it at the very beginning. :rolleyes:

its funny how I've gone from being called a PR fanboy to a hater on this forum. no wonder why Tee kicked me from his Discord server with no way to get back in. 🤣

i have been negative around here lately. well today its dbrand. i got my ghost 2.0 replacement today. its a nice clear back case. my only complaint is with a screen protector and a skin on the back there is no lay on table protection. the lip is flush with my screen, which will touch the table if i place face down. i wonder if its the skin that's causing this? @thatappleguytoday, do you have any lip on your case? other than that i'm liking the case although already considering switching back to the grip, benks or the rl for the lay on table protection.

This looks so good! I know this thread is bad for my wallet. I stayed away so I wouldn't keep buying cases...first glimpse back after a couple of months - Bam! Ryan Leather in Black on order.

I had tried a Bellroy during the September launch and that CC cutout was not doing it. Now that this Leather Case has a CC button, and after see yours and some other's pictures I'm in. The "15OFF" still works today, too. Thanks for the write up and the great pictures.

the skin isn't causing that, it's just not a very heavy duty case the whole point of the ghost case was to be minimal

Much faster than expected, my Ghost 2.0 for iPhone 16 Pro Max I bought on eBay, was delivered today! Looks like a great case. The camera control button is not perfect, but will do the job. Just like Brian Tech mentioned, the button is shifting a bit when touching it. :)

I hear you. This thread is addictive and quite fun. I have ordered 6 cases so far, with my sixth one being a RL that I ordered a couple of days ago.

I’m swapping between the Apple silicone lake green and the ghost case (the MagSafe strength on the ghost is insane), really happy with both.

But tempted by the TineeOwl, just not sold on the colours.

Their designs are cool, but I wish they would just focus on the clear and black frosted cases to make the clear not yellow and make the black frosted the same way that they did last year. Once they get those right, then the other designs can be released… at least in my opinion.

Very true. Personally i dont like them glossy black sides.

I wish they add CC button to their Enzo range.
