What seems to be behind some of this is the fact that some of these companies use third-party fulfillment services. So, they hand something off to the fulfillment service and say it’s “shipped”, but then the fulfillment service sits on it for however many days they’re behind on their scheduling (Otterbox and UAG do this, I’m sure others do as well). And then on top of that there are the FedEx, UPS, and USPS delays this time of year which just throw more fuel on the dumpster fire.
For USPS It normally goes shipping label created > accepted (shipment received) > etc etc
One it’s accepted(shipment received) it will run through the USPS network. If it’s sitting on shipping label created for a while then there’s the issue of the fulfillment service sitting on it. You want to see accepted because that means USPS has it in their possession.
I don’t know why lots complain about USPS. I never really had issues. I used to sell a lot on eBay and used USPS a lot and rarely had any shipping issues.
I’ve had a fully apologetic email from andar with a detailed explanation and they now cancelled the order and fully refunded me. That’s all I wanted and it brings it to a close. Mistakes happen as long as it’s a training/learning curve which they’ve assured me it is. Bring on the closed bottom bullstrap as I’m hoping that’s imminent going by the last ‘ask the ceo’ on insta. That slate or maverick is 😍
So they will be bringing out a closed bottom bull strap case? Or is that a future ask or release?
Yup I saw that on insta too. He said a closed bottom is in the works, but still months out. If I recall correctly, he also said it will remain a full leather wrap aka no metal camera ring.
Yeah it’s in the works.
I’d be happy with a closed bottom and leather camera ring which is what Claudio said.
Yes I love the leather camera bump as opposed to a black metal/plastic camera ring. It’s one reason I got my Bullstrap as my first leather case. Really only ordered the Andar because I couldn’t resist the color lol
Yeah i like when the camera bump matches the rest of the case. I have the Andar aspen and the black ring bothers be sometimes. I like how apple leather cases had everything the same color.
Still nothing for me. I've reached out to them last week without any response. Their customer service turn-around with emails seems to be on the crap side.
Same.. I haven't gotten a response from them since emailing them last week.
Glad to know I’m not the only who can’t stand the mous branding. Can’t believe they added an extra logo this year, stopped me from purchasing altogether. Can you show what it looks like with the logos blacked out?
I was doing a search on the ESR MagSafe wallet and came across your post. I’m interested in their basic wallet with the finger loop (No stand, no find my). I’m curious how is yours holding up?
Just received this email from Andar support (it included a tracking number):
Thank you so much for reaching out about this! When investigating further, it does appear your order is currently in transit and is expected to arrive shortly.
USPS tracking shows that the case will arrive tomorrow.
The Sharpie made the logos a deep shiny "almost black". The Sharpie logo color looks different depending on the light direction, so a photo won't really show how it actually looks other than the logos don't jump out at you now. No regrets using a Sharpie on them, but I'm not as picky as some people are on this forum.

Yes, we all have different preferences, but when certain aspects elicit overwhelming negative responses the manufacturers would be wise to address them. Caudabe has done this with their redesign of the Sheath. That is their reputation as any problems I've had with their cases in the past have been corrected in a timely manner. After a rough start with the early Sheath cases they have made the effort to make good on both the redesign and their shipping and communication problems.
Apple allocates so much attention to design, it seems a shame to plaster logos all over something we use to protect it.
Andar have gone over and above in terms of a resolution and I now have a turquoise aspen currently winging its way across the states for delivery on the 27th. Gratis.
finally ordered a Caudabe synthesis in blue to match my blue titanium 15pm. IDC if the buttons are not good, they were awful for the 14pm and I still loved the case. Finally made the decision after getting the mous limitless leather and it’s just not a good case, it is NOT worth over $60, the fit was not good, doesn’t feel premium. I know other people have different opinions but it’s not for me nor do I think it’s worth the asking price.
