I won’t treat it, I did treat one of my Bullstrap cases in the past and developed a bad patina. Your oily hands will give life to the leather haha. You can clean it with saddle soap and then condition it a bit oone each 2 month or so, but it’s not mandatory.
Got a tip for us?

Oh,ok! So maybe I will buy the black one! £37 including shipping is good price for this case I think!
To be safe the early word is summer, but they said it could before that. They are gonna be too late if they don't hurry up.

One more to the “Gang” haha, tell us once you recieve it, in fact I’m quite happy with it. Which color did you go with?
More like it $78AUD with shipping. what colour do you have?
Any gaps? or other issues?
Me? I bought sienna brown first, and then bought Taupe. And no issues so far, no gaps,perfect fit, perfect leather feel and perfect clicky button. Cutout is Bullstrap-type, is nicely done, seems sturdy enough. Taupe blends perfectly with natty and dessert titanium, and Sienna brown is just a beautiful color. I kinda like more Sienna Brown as a color but Taupe just blends perfectly so I have mixed feelings haha.
I think (not sure) that the key is they use a thicker layer of leather(compare to RL closed bottom for example), so you can really feel that is leather and not plasticky feeling, that’s what (for me) makes them to be up there on top, at the same level if not best than Bullstrap and RL Open bottom (this 2 are also for me, really top choices)

The plastic feel on RL closed bottom isn’t the leather, it’s the oil waxed coating on it. Up until the newest CC button version of the closed bottom, the leather on RL’s closed bottom has been just as thick if not thicker than the open bottom. You are not alone in not liking the oil waxed coating, but for me it’s a bit of layer to protect the leather and slow that patina process down. I just prefer the open bottom feel or I would rock it.
I am selling my used cutout version of the RL Saddle Brown for iPhone 16 Pro in the marketplace if anyone is interested.
So I had plans on ordering another Luckycoin to replace the broken one. Today I was at Best Buy and they had some leather cases on sale for $29(canadian) from a brand I had not heard of before. I looked them up online and decided to give it a shot. The brand is dbramante. It’s apparently a danish leather company that has been around for quite some time. They use full grain leather. I also, for the first time ever, got it in black. I always buy brown but today I decided some in trying something new that I’d go really wild. Ha ha.
Anyways. It’s a very nice fit. It’s actually an absolutely perfect fit. Very minimalist like the Apple ones were. The buttons are a touch on the sharp side like Andar but that doesn’t bother me. I’ll try to grab some photos later tonight if I have time. For now here is a link to it. https://dbramante1928.com/collectio...e-iphone-15-black?_pos=8&_fid=aa018b919&_ss=c
It’s available in black or tan.
Will see how it ages.

Nice! It looks good! It does look rather minimalist like the Apple cases. Glad you are back in leather! Thanks for the photos!
Nice find. Roskilde, was there 3 months ago it's where the Viking Ship Museum is.
Son lives in Copenhagen might get him to get me one, is coming to Australia in March.
Dark tan looks nice.
Yep. Two weeks in plastic made me remember how much I hate plastic cases.
Yes, every time I put one on, I remember why I love leather so much. I hope you enjoy this one.
Gosh I hope it ages better than Mujjo. But at $29 it’s not the end of the world. It was regular $60 so if it turns out bad I haven’t lost that much and I can grab another Luckycoin.
It’s a bit dry out of the box. Hoping it softens after a few days like the Luckycoin did. Don’t know much about this brand so now idea what expect. I will say tough that the fit is perfect. Even minimal lip all the way round. Tight corners. No gap at charger port. Fits just like OEM which is to say it does not have any hand made feel to it. Time will tell I suppose if it’s any good. But it’s good enough for now.
