I don't know if they made a mistake, I just think they messed up in how they handled it. Peak Design just did something similar to what Caudabe's doing and people (including me) really appreciated it. That's why I buy Peak Design and Caudabe stuff. An example of two companies that care about customer more than their bottom line, in my opinion.
That was my take as well. The way they handled it was super poor. For a small company, they should be more aware.
The alto is definitely thinner and lighter than the andar. The in hand feel is closer to apples. The apple case had hardly any lip on the front (it was pretty much flat with my screen protector). The alto has a small lip so it is deeper than the apple case. Thickness and weight are pretty close though. They really would have the perfect leather case to me if they would take the alto logo off and get the speaker cutout right. I did send a message to their support email to ask about the speaker cutouts.
I got it off Amazon, they have a $10 off coupon but you can also get off the alto website linked above. I’m waiting on the brown to see if they are going to change the speaker cutouts.
Does the lip catch your fingers when you swipe up from the bottom or in to the center from the sides? That was the dealbreaker for the Aspen with me. If they don’t, I could live with the comically large speaker cutouts.
really depends on which you buy, e.g. lonli edition is smooth as apples.
Thanks - good to know similar to Apple case. I really wish mfg’s would not put their logo’s or names on the case, unless it is Apple.
No I haven’t had any issues with the lip. The andar lip was taller but I didn’t really have issues with it either that I remember.
I noticed the brown one in stock so I grabbed up the last one. Still $10 off.

This is the one I'm going to get, along with the Nomad Horween. I like the Andor Aspen 'Red' as well - but sticking to the brown/tan leather for now.
Anyone esle used these before? Would love to see some user pics rather than the stock internet ones.
nope, but looking forward to seeing yours 😜
was also looking for "real" pictures, but came up empty
I’ll email. Sorry for the dust showing but there is no dust under the protector. And it gets by the edges but not stuck to it all. Also see the camera still shot that shows the edges L’s. So I’m not seeing any encroachment on the screen real estate. I put these that are called Pro screen protectors on both of our phones. I also ordered the Max version which is cheaper. I’ll try to at one on my daughter’s phone when she gets it mid October.
A word of warning, Dbramante1928 has a leather case for the 15 Pro-series called Roskilde in black or brown.
I just checked it out at a local store, the action button is a cut out so tiny that it's almost impossible to push the action button unless you have long finger nails. A lot worse than the cut out on Andars case for example and I would avoid this case even though the brand has some nice leather and usually good build quality.
