iPhone 15 Pro Slimline Leather Bumper Case (MagSafe Compatible)

Handcrafted from Premium US Leather Our iPhone 15 Pro phone cases are handcrafted from premium, top-grain cowhide leather sourced from the finest tanneries in the US. Our luxurious leather undergoes minimal treatment in order to preserve its natural properties and appearance. The precision fit...

The brown one especially looks very similar to the others and uses US sourced leather, decent price as well!

So I gave in and ordered to trial. I ended up ordering two, in Navy.

First one, really bad power button. Could barely press it and the fit wasn’t great so ordered a second to replace in case it was a duff.

Second one, even worse. The case bows in the middle meaning the corners don’t even hug the phone. The screen protector actually sits proud of the case 🤢. The lower lip of the case doesn’t even touch the phone so there’s a large gap.

Really really bad. I suspect no QC at all before marketing these. Don’t even bother wasting money (or time) giving these a go.

Interesting.

Wonder if it’s just Navy that’s affected? To order two and both be really bad, it doesn’t seem like a coincidence.

Got any pics of your brown one?

I’ll get some just checked the buttons as well and they’re all in line and clicky.

Maybe the different colours are from different suppliers as looking closer the black one has a different leather texture to the brown and the blue…

Yes I had that problem with black leather from them. Never an issue with camel tan or dark brown, but the black I would definitely avoid. Not a fan of andar at all customer service is pretty bad too

I ordered the black. I don’t want to deal with staining countertops, accessories, etc. Thanks for the feedback!

If it’s any reassurance, my black Andar does not suffer from any transfer. You’ll always get one or two bad ones in every batch so hopefully yours will be fine.

I received an updated Bare Skin. The new ones have the same buttons as the original. The difference is the action and volume buttons are inset more. Oddly the power button isn’t inset. FWIW as others have mentioned the buttons do tend to deburr over time. Other than that it’s a nice case and I’m happy with it.
 
Yeah they’ve been nothing short of amazing with me. It’s been a rough holiday season for my shiny new titanium phone. Luckily the cases did great at protecting it outside of a broken screen protector.

Each replacement started as a five day delivery estimate and was at my door the morning of the third which is night/day compared to the wait on my original order.

Needless to say, if I hadn’t already been a Bullstrap fan I’d definitely be interested in hearing something like this.

Happy new year!

So,what’s the conclusion guys : a perfect leather case doesn’t exist

I think ultimately there’s no one case that everyone would pick, people have different tastes, different needs, different expectations.

I’d still personally pick Andar and Ryan London above the rest (and Bullstrap for open bottom).
 
What is everyone’s thoughts on this All leather case. No plastic. They have it for the 15 pro max as well. The build looks kinda shoddy to me. But you guys know better than me and have better taste. What do you guys/girls think?

The bottom of the case looks like one of those old Incase Slider cases... but missing the removable bottom part.
