Thank you so much. I once had Otterbox Strada series, it was a great case. I wonder if it exists for iPhone 15.
I just looked that up, it does look like a great protective leather case. Didn't see it for 15 series though. Nomad does have a leather folio if you're into that

How does it feel in the hand? I have just purchased this...
I have a newish Apple leather case for the 13PM handy and it feels very similar to that. Kind of difficult to describe, but it feels different to my LuckyCoin and Ryan London cases. More of a smooth feel.

Is this going to be your daily driver? Do you prefer the Decoded to the Ryan London? I know the Ryan London case is very highly rated and is supposed to be one of the best leather cases out there...

I can definitely see me using this more due to it having a lower lip and it feeling smaller in the hand. The Ryan London open bottom case very likely has better leather (definitely passes the smell test anyway😂) but I rate the form factor of the Decoded case over the slightly higher quality in leather of Ryan London.

I don't necessarily need a folio case, it just was something I really liked and it was very protective. I will look into Nomad cases, thank you.

Are you not worried about drop protection? Leather cases do not offer much protection...

Nah, can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve dropped my phone in the last 5 years. I have AppleCare+ anyway, so no worries here at all. I’ve never actually needed to use it since I started purchasing it a few years ago but you know what will happen the moment I cancel!😂

Been itching for another case but don’t crave anything at the moment lol yall still fighting over caudabe magnet rings ?
Naw, I think we all finally agreed to disagree.

I actually just ordered another Sheath today. Caudabe CS and some here assure me the Magsafe bump is 100% solved. I hope they’re right, but we’ll see.

Which ones have you tried?
Luckycoin, Ryan London (open and closed bottom), Andar, Bullstrap, Mujjo, Keyway.

Bare and Lonli are probably the only two I haven’t tried that may be ever so slightly slimmer. I can’t really see it though, I don’t think there’s a leather case out there where the lip sits flush with the screen with a screen protector. I wish there was though, as that would be the perfect leather case for me.

Trying out the limitless 5.0 with sharpie altered branding.

Still don’t know why a company would ruin (imo) a case with double branding

What is the slimmest, LIGHTEST, most comfortable case at the moment? The Sheath is slim but heavy and don’t care for the pinky area.

Nomad sport is a good option
Dbrand ghost is light and slim but scratches
Pitaka pro is slim and light but boxy
Apple silicone feels the best but the lint is an issue lol
I actually like the fine woven case but only had it for 2 days

Bare Cases are a bunch of absolute chancers. A 15% restocking fee for what, exactly?😂
To add to the 15% restocking fee…

If you wish to return your item, simply drop an email to help@bare-cases.com within 7 days of receiving your item. The item has to be unused, and in its original packaging. E.g. If the plastic protection piece has been removed from the Naked EX case and stuck back on, we will not be able to honour the refund.

In order for your order to be eligible for a return & refund, it has to meet the following criteria:

1. For Cases:

- Cases must be in brand new, unused condition.

- The case has to be in it's original plastic protective covering, and unopened.

- Any marks/blemishes/etc. from trying the cases would be considered user wear & tear, and will not be eligible for a return.

——————

@Bare Cases Care to comment on these utterly laughable return policies? I’m surprised you manage to do any business at all with them in place.

I was just thinking, know what case I really miss? When the Catalyst Influence was a great case. Now they have that gaping hole for the action button and it feels wider/bulkier than ever before. The Catalyst for the 13/14 was a banger…

I’ve never heard of this brand. Are the thin cases any good?
