My mulberry iPhone 15 Leather Case with MagSafe also arrived today from our friends in China. I have to say I am very impressed. I have an iPhone 14 Leather MagSafe case (Ink) here for comparison and the new one really holds its own. Buttons are flush, colour is good, texture is good, fit is perfect (better than my fine woven case), MagSafe is a little weaker than the FineWoven, and while I have no idea if its actually leather, doing the sniff test between the both cases confirms neither smell like leather and both smell exactly the same. Packaging is very accurate, and it dawned on me that over the years as Apple has cheapened....sorry become more eco friendly, its probably become easier to copy more sucessfully.

I was waiting on the Keyway Slate to come back in stock but they said it will be 4-6 weeks before they get another batch. Looks like it's about the same time frame as the Andar action button version. So what are the next best options? Anyone have the Keyway in black yet?

Has anyone held both the Decoded and Keyway? I am curious which feels better in the hand.

My Keyway 15 Pro whiskey case finally came after importing to the UK myself. Wasn’t the cheapest, but imo was worth every penny that it’s cost me! Will post up more pictures later.

Those of you with the Keyway, does it "creak" when you press on the corners?

Initially i didn't want to order the bullstrap case, because i didn't like the open bottom.

(And sadly the blue is a bit disappointing, because it is not as blue as the website suggests. It is very dark. And depending on the light, it looks almost more green than blue. )

But now that i've used the BS and the Decoded case, i have to say that the closed bottom of the decoded case is a bit annoying... The swiping up gesture feels much better with an open bottom case. So i think i actually prefer it that way now.

Might still end up not using any case like with every previous phone though 😂

Keyway is very good choice after I purchased the Slate colour I purchased another Whiskey :)
100% agree. I honestly believe people are under estimating this case. I love mine and I stand by my belief that this is the leather Apple used to use before the 12 series. It’s simply fantastic.

My YMW crazy horse leather came in today and it is really nice! Feels very comfortable and soft in hand and has a nice leather smell. MagSafe magnets seems good, my leather wallet is solidly attached. Action and volume buttons are very tactile, power button is a little stiff but may loosen up. It fit very tight on the phone, tighter than FineWoven or Caudabe Sheath. Don’t have any pics cause it’s on the phone and I don’t want to take it off yet!

Man I’m jealous! Mine seems to have gotten stuck in shipping. Which color did you go for? Good to hear that the case feels nice overall.

No creaks, equal leather on either side of the screen, very high quality and feels the best in hand I’ve ever used!

I got mine a few days ago too. One big problem I have with it is that it stains my hands yellow (I got the brown color). It seems like the dye rubs off and transfers everywhere. If my hands are slightly sweaty or damp, the dye gets everywhere. I tested it and took a slightly damp paper towel and rubbed it on the case and the paper towel turns a gross orange. Is this supposed to be normal behavior!? My nomad and old Apple case never had this issue but they looked more treated than this raw leather.

Hi all,
I’m really interested in the Bare case. Do you know the measurements (length, thickness etc.) ?
I saw this picture on their IG. I assume that they are for the logo and its layout. But maybe we can use them to deduce the case mesurements.

So, after 10 days of waiting, it finally is here: the Aulumu Vegan Leather Case for iPhone 15 Pro Max. I am using it together with a white iPhone 15 Pro Max, so it looks really great. I like the case a lot. Very nice details, clicky buttons and it feels great to hold. With 52 EUR for a case from China, the price is steep, but worth it. This one is a keeper. ;)
