Well I’m ready for my iPhone 15 Pro Max to arrive on launch day! Bye bye iPhone 14 Pro Max
Keep us updated! I'm thinking about just ordering the Moft vegan leather, Decoded and Mujjo cases to try myself.
I get phones every two years, and I had only used Apple leather cases. So, when I went from an 11 to a 13, and just blindly ordered a Apple leather case. I was disappointed with what I received. It was in no way, shape or form like the leather cases Apple offered for the 11 series of phones, or the older models.
Looked around for a bit, thought the Andar looked good, picked one up and I've used it two years. It looks and feels great, even after all this time.
Ordered two of their Aspen model cases (brown, red) for my 15 Pro Max from Andar before I even ordered the phone. I even have their version of a magsafe wallet. Highly recommended.

Nice to see Mujjo comes with the action button. Interesting given the other leather cases don’t apparently given what’s been said and seen on social media.
Andar cases for iPhone 15 have full coverage. They changed that with the iPhone 14.

No reviews yet if anyone wants to TOFTT.
Description says FineWoven but the pictures and box clearly show leather versions of the FineWoven cases. There are other stores with similar items but this has the most sold that I could find on a quick search. I'm assuming the wallets will follow soon.

That is a really nice colour and I hate all shades of red 😂
How tall is the raised edge around the display, regarding the options mentioned here (Mujjo, Bullstrap, Andar Aspen, etc.): I use „swipe from the left edge“ (navigate backwards) and „swipe down at the bottom edge“ (Reachability) gestures constantly. Raised edges protect the display, but complicate those gestures. Therefore I‘d prefer a leather case without raised edges around the display, or rather minimally raised edges, preferably in combination with a cutout at the bottom. Can you recommend a case like that?
That's not something I'd even considered until somebody made a helpful post here.
The Caudabe Sheath doesn't seem to have any kind of lip around the screen at all, so it would be perfect for gestures, but not so great for a front-screen drop.
Thank you. I'd really prefer a leather case, so the Andar Aspen it is? How pronounced is the display lip for the Bullstrap or Mujjo leather case? For me it's complicated: I live in Europe, so I can't just order all of them to try them out (I don't think there are free returns from Europe).
I ordered one to try out. It seems like a nice case. Of course I won't be able to really try it out until Friday, but the MagSafe is strong and the case appears well made and looks like it will hold up. Ignore the blotchy look in the pics... it's tree shadows from outside. It's actually all one very even color. I like the 0 branding. It was really packaged well, too. It came in a velvet bag inside a nice box with a ribbon keeping the lid on, like a present.
I ordered the camel tan from andar but after seeing these pictures I think I’m going to try out the Mujjo. That burgundy looks great!!!
I have been buying the Apple leather cases for the past few years with each new iPhone I upgrade to. As everyone knows, this year no Apple leather case. I decided to order the finewoven instead. It’s going back. It feels and looks horrible for a $59 case. If it was $20, I may keep it and try it out.
I decided to buy the Bellroy leather case. I’m a huge fan of their leather wallets. I had a Apple leather case for my iPhone 14 Pro Max that had great patina but then turned extremely used. I decided to buy the Bellroy Mode Phone Case for my iPhone 14 PM and I like it a lot.
Bellroy has 2 versions for the iPhone 15. The ‘Phone Case’ and ‘Mod Phone Case’. I went with the Phone Case this time. Both versions have MagSafe.

Thank you for this! Looks awesome. Can you confirm that there is a button for the action button? If not too much of a pain can you post a few button photos. Thanks again!
Yes, it has a button for the action button. It's not just a cut-out. Here are some pics of the sides. I took one of the action/volume buttons from the inside also.
I’m glad so far to see positive comments on this brand. I follow Technically Tee on Twitter and some of his reviews. He’s got a gorgeous red leather case collaboration with Andar that I want for the Blue Titanium. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a prettier red!
But I’m not ordering until I’m sure I can keep the phone due to my annoying migraine sensitivity to some iPhone displays.
