Leather alternatives to FineWoven cases

[Bradyy91]

I‘m looking for a case that offers sweet colors, basically the same color or at least similar like the Finewoven. Taupe and Mulberry look so nice! But most cases out there have boring colors or just different. Do you know of any cases that have the same or similar where the color just pops? The finewoven looks great colorwise but I won’t buy it as the quality is just garbage.

Bullstrap.

Bullstrap.

This was on my potential list but the colors are.. a bit odd. The blue especially has this marbling to it that I don’t love. And the garish logo in the middle is a turn off for sure. Ryan London looked like a nice alternative but only comes in black or two shades of brown which is disappointing.

Just got this case and am impressed. Probably my keeper

Finally I have been able to buy a Nomad Modern Leather (Horween) for my 15 Pro. Can’t wait for it to get here so I can return that Mous Limitless 5.0 with its god awful power button…

I tried the nomad so many times and always returned it due to the slick and sharp TPU.

Hope you like it though. It has a lot of potential!

Six cases here and only one is as thin and as light as the FineWoven or the old Apple Leather cases.

From left to right (All 15 Pro):

Apple FineWoven (26g), TORRAS Magnetic Slim Fit (NOT leather) (23g), Spigen Magnetic Enzo Aramid (NOT leather) (41g!), Fake 15 Pro Apple Leather (33g), Decoded Leather (33g), Bullstrap Leather (35g)

These cases are all nice and it's hard to fault them for anything other than they aren't as comfortable as the Apple Cases. This phone upgrade would have been much easier had Apple just left well enough alone and kept making the leather cases lol.

Well I tried returning the Decoded and even though they shipped it via Amazon from Seattle (Im in Cali), they want me to ship it to the Netherlands for the return.

Ill be selling it on the MP if anyones interested, under retail.

Similar situation; I bought three cases from Decoded's webpage. Two (which were also the ones that were in stock on Amazon) shipped via Amazon, to my surprise.

The third is coming from the Netherlands via FedEx.

Anyone have pictures of the Keyway in Slate yet?

Here's the Slate Keyway 15 Pro case. I have applied some leather conditioner so the color may be slightly darker/richer but it's not by much. Especially with new leather.

The color is far more brown than the pictures on the Keyway site look. That may just be how the hide on my case absorbed the dye, but it's more of a tan-grey than full on grey.

Got delivered today and let me tell you, this thing oozes quality.

Perfect fit, nice clicky buttons, just enough lip for the screen and THAT leather smell

Glad I saw this; very surprised how much brown is in there! The photos on the site make it look straight grey.

Lonli edition:

All i can say is I hope this case gets some grip fast, great for the price if it does! Has anyone had this case for their 14?

So my Lonli Edition case had much more grip after a few days of use. I also applied a leather conditioner to it on the first night. Pretty good case for the price, especially now that its not slick.

i love NOMAD. their quality is top notch. i have the sport case white and the fit and feel of it is so premium. i have sweaty palms and the side grip still holds it. i always put my phone in the pocket and the side tpus still no scuffs or anything. just ordered their black leather case. can't wait to be delivered though.
bandwerk cases were top quality too. but very pricey.
moft cases and their folding magsafe tripod interests me as well.

is the camera cutout plastic or metal?

Metal

Delivered early. Bullstrap leather on Natural Ti 15PM, mag wallet and air pods pro2 (couldn't help myself and had to have them match! 😂). This is the Dune color.
This is my first Bullstrap product, I'm impressed. excellent quality, definitely better than Apple leather, and fits like a glove!

how's the wallet? are the magnets strong?

The only difference between the Edition and the Classic is the leather. The Edition is "premium European full grain leather." It's very smooth and I think would probably patina. The Classic is "Italian Napa leather from Gruppo Mastrotto tannery." It has a rough texture that is described as a small and irregular grain that will soften over time. Whether or not it will patina, I have no idea. It doesn't really smell like leather. The Alto is not as smooth as the Edition but much smoother than the Classic. It will definitely patina.

The Alto weights 31g. The Classic and the Edition both weigh 33g. So there's not a lot of difference in weight. They are all pretty light cases.

The Classic does not Patina at all - I had it for the 13 PM for over a year.

So far nothing on the brown Edition for a month beyond some lightening at the edges. And I think there is some dye transfer from the case onto my MagSafe charger.
