In a color I need please šŸ™ šŸ˜‚
And please be thinner than the offerings that are out now. The only tolerable one for me was the recent Ryan London for the pro max. There are apple stores next to all the branches I manage so I can go in and test them out if they are indeed apple cases.

Not happening i think.

His tweet says unofficial.

Probably promoting listings on Ali Xpress.

This was not the only place reporting. Also this user ā€œleakedā€ the FineWoven from pictures of Ali express before Apple announced. They also have posted SE pictures of cases that clearly aren’t Ali Express cases. I am saying 98% chance we see a new case released with the release of the SE.

Thing is, these cases have been on Ali X for absolutely ages, months and months.

They were available in these colours for the 15 series.

It's only because they are now selling them with a CC button that the hysteria has been created.

There are a lot of cases on Ali X now with the CC button.

I personally think you're all clutching at straws thinking Apple will bring these out.

Happily eat my words though

When i reread it I have to think you might be right too. Sorry for getting anyone’s hopes up!

Was discussing this yesterday and it would have to be that light color that takes me away from my Bullstrap. Even if they did make them but left out that light blue color or whatever it was I wouldn’t swap the case I have now for another darker color. Anyone who has seen my posts knows I like the light blue and light pink colors. Only way I’d change out of my Bullstrap.

I am not sure how many times I have to say this. This was the same leaker that got FineWoven right. These have been on Ali express since the real Apple leather cases. Doesn’t make it any less real.

This is no ā€œgrasping at strawsā€. It has long been rumored that Apple has been working on a replacement for FW. Since they cancelled it early, there was no way these cases were ready for the launch of the 16 series. Now is the perfect time to release them with the SE.

The thing is will it be a ā€œveganā€ leather aka plastic case? I wish it’ll be like old apple leather cases…

You’re right. Let’s just see what this week brings and I hope you’re right. It would be nice. My Apple rep did say something about a vegan leather. It would make sense although I thought they released stuff like spring colors etc in march

I don’t think this would be part of the spring refresh. This would just be cases with the SE announcement. I am sure there will be a spring refresh too.

Haha, I only plan to buy something protective like mous alongside my Alex Goldfinch cases, just for the days I need more protection. And I suspect that the apple will be slim and sleek not protective at all haha

I don’t need major protection. I have an open bottom case after all.

Ok! I mean as you know I’m on a long wait with Bullstrap for their cc button anyway. I’ll see what apple does in the interim and go from there ā˜ŗļø
 
Haha, well I don’t agree at all about that affirmation. For me RL OB is quite similar and almost identical to Bullstrap, and lets say Alex Goldfinch case (bests cases for me for sure) but at the moment AG cost 35,95€ while RL costs me almost 65€. And having tried both I don’t get the praise to RL I’ve said that more times haha, well don’t get me wrong, i get the praise because is a fantastic case, and I think if I hadn’t bought AG, probably I would have bought a RL OB. but the point here is that I think some people only have tried RL case, so they shout how happy they are with RL case (which is fair obviously) but hadn’t tried other cases. Then there is people here who have tried more cases, some praise Bullstrap for their color offering, some praise RL for the Client Support they have received, affinity, some for their leather quality. There are tons of reason, all valids.

IMHO if you have tried a Bullstrap case, a Ryan London OB, and an Alex Goldfinch, you can not call any of them the ā€œLeather Goatsā€ because they are just so similar and so great in leather feeling, there are just some small details that makes you decide for one or another.
This is why the case game is fun. Something appeals to everyone. It’s all subjective. I’ve tried all the mentioned brands and for me and many others Ryan London is THE GOAT. Again it’s all opinion and subjective. If I found something I like more or if someone found something they like more that would be the goat for them. Until I try and find something better than Ryan London they will remain THE GOAT for me.
