Awesome! It looks great. Enjoy. Keep the pictures coming please.
Stunning! That dark brown in that light is super rich. Are you a leather convert?
Ive always had 2-3 Apple Leather cases in past until they stopped doing it.
Lack of good CC button cases pulled me back into Leather fold lol.
Some good lookin' cases this last few pages
Put it under a hair dryer on low heat for a few mins and it'll start to dry and the mark will go within a day or twoSo last night I was working on a smart plug in my bathroom, and I needed my phone so I laid in down on a box on the counter. Kept working and then picked my phone up to discover it had water on the box. There was a stain left. Hopefully it will still dry out and go away, but a little disappointing.
7 weeks on the RL, so don’t want to mess up the patina I have going.
And for the patina gold, here is the case without the red markup.
Did the exact same when I had an Andar case a few times and they never stained
Long time lurker on this thread and recently bit the bullet on a Ryan London case with camera control button, couldn’t fault it so followed up with one of their new watch bands. Quick set of pictures. Once again I’m a happy customer.
for anyone else considering it, sorry for the poor quality, will try and get something better.
I also really like the Andar cutout. It is far easier to access than the full surround cutout in my Bullstrap (which is also a little sharp), and I also like the flash of titanium rail it gives...especially with the desert against the blue. (had to take a photo). The swooping line of the color difference is really nice to me.
I’ll be interested in seeing how this finish ages. I’ve owned several Andar cases, along with Bullstrap, Luckycoin, Nomad, Apple of course, and the Andar leather always seems to age the best to me. It is usually stiffer out of the box but really feels great once it’s collected oils and is more durable than most too. This finish is quite different though. Very curious in the final look. Keep us posted!
Rough week for the my RL. Got a Anker MagSafe stand for my desk and work, and tried it out with my 16 Pro. Didn't even hook up the cable to charge, just simply stuck the phone in the RL case on the stand, and now I have a few scratches. Not the end of the world, but why did it do this. I don't mind the ring over time, but this looks like scratches.
All my brown cases have all done that too. I believe its because when we pull our phones off the charger the phone twists just a bit either clockwise or counterclockwise. This basically rubs the back of the phone. In my experience the scratch look would disappear pretty quickly from hand oils and friction in your pockets. But it will be back again the next time you charge. So far my current black leather case doesn't do this.... but it may in time as it starts to develop the sheen that black leather gets.
I believe the only way it could be avoided is if the charger had a very fine layer of felt on it. Something soft for the phone to be pulled against by the magnets. Also the charger heads tend to collect dust over time which can be an abrasive on the back of the phone.
I got ya, makes sense. Did you keep using it on your LC? I know you had the ring marks, but I didn't notices scratches.
