I wouldn’t mind seeing reviews for Andar, Bullstrap, and Spigen’s expensive leather case. I’m actually thinking about getting a leather Nomad case because of it having better protection than the ones mentioned in the video.
Ryan London has just as good leather as the Bullstrap. I like the Andar cases as well all for great leather smell, patina, and protection. I don’t mind the lack of bottom coverage either on the Bullstrap and Ryan London cases. RL uses same best leather and lacks bottom protection.
So I went and purchased a black brook case on your suggestion. overall it was nice, but it felt more like a leather work glove. The case I got felt ok, but ended up leaving stains on my MagSafe charger. I considered a bullstrap, but wasn't a fan of the camera cut out. I stumbled across Andor and their case and can definitely say it ended up better in terms of fit/finish/feel. I can compare the leather quality as such. Blackbrook feels and smells like a work glove while the Andor case is comparable to a higher end glove from Nordstrom. Thanks for checking out the cases tho, always fun to watch them.
I love Bullstrap cases. I’ve used them on the iPhone 13 Pro, 14 Pro, now 15 Pro Max. I get the Bourbon color case and it’s so sexy looking. I bought the same colored mag safe wallet when I got the 13 Pro. Cases and wallet come with a lifetime warranty. I just this month filed a claim on the wallet. They ask for pictures and all you do is pay for shipping. I’ve dropped several times over the years and have only ever had to replace screen protectors at worst. Initial launch availability last two years wasn’t great. This year, I actually got it before the phone delivered which was a pleasant surprise. Nice feeling tactile metal buttons, and nice roundness of the edges. A bit pricier than others, but I highly recommend.
I just bought the classic black leather case from wiiuka which is described as family company from Berlin, Germany. This was recommended from Amazon. Frankly the first impression is just wow… my black titanium iphone15 pro with screen protection glass on front and on camera fits perfectly. The feel, the look, the smell, the minimal branding and finally even the metallic buttons are a perfect match to the quality of the device itself unlike other plastic cases. It’s up to personal preference as always and of course this case will probably not fit someone afraid dropping his phone from 5m but for someone with a « normal » usage it’s just perfect. Let’s see how it turns out in 1 or 2 years but for 50€ this really is a no brainer for someone who wants a modern looking iPhone leather case :)
I actually chose Blackbrook over Bullstrap when I got my iPhone 13 Pro (my previous comment mixed up the 2 brands) after extensive research. The Blackbrook case was made with thinner leather, not have enough lip for thick glass screen protectors, and there were large cutouts where the buttons were, compromising structural integrity. It looks like Blackbrook has actual buttons instead of cutouts now and looks closer to Blackbrook case that I have except it doesn't have large cutout at the base which mine has.
TORRO leather cases are amazing and blow all of the ones you reviewed out of the water, except Blackrock, they're comparable. Really shocked they weren't reviewed.
Leather craftsman here. I started off making leather phone cases when iphone magsafe was introduced (ip12). I wish this video was made these years ago before I started because making leather phone case is much harder than I thought especially with magsafe.
A brand that is not well known in the internet but that I find very good is Decoded. The Decoded iPhone 14 series leather case feels very high quality and the fit and finish is excellent. I managed to get one for 35€ and feels like Apple quality levels!. On top of that, the Decoded magsafe wallet is like a Moft v2 wallet. It is made of ECCO leather, has anti-slip rubber in the back, RFID and stronger magnets!
Hi Arron you should try the best leather case in my opinion that I have been using for my iPhone for the past 3 years! It’s from a company called Saddleback Leather! 2:44
I think you’re doing a great job. Have you tested the Vaja leather case - Custom Stick-on Leather back for iPhone 14 Pro Max? Nomad just came out with Lather Back but only for iPhone 15 series.
I normally buy at least one Apple leather case when buying an iPhone more for home and weekends .This year it has been good .Last year I replaced 3 as the power button area snapped when taking on an off on the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 pro max. When working I use a CASETiFY case. The Burton one looks cool but cant find it in Amazon link ,maybe doesn’t ship in Australia? I’ll have another look after work. Great review btw as always!
Hi Mobile Reviews! Glad to hear your thoughts on the cases you featured in this video - what are your thoughts on the offerings from Andar and Sandmarc? Am trying to pick between these two but am assuming there is a reason you didn’t feature either! Thanks!
Don’t know if they could handle the attention or orders but there is a hand made leather case on Etsy from Trim Leather, based out of Hong Kong. I’ve purchased one since the iPhone 5s when I discovered them.
@@MobileReviewsEh awesome to get a reply. I know at the end of the day we both put our pants on the same way, one leg at a time but it still feels pretty cool to be able to share thoughts and ideas with someone you watch on what is the modern equivalent to tv back in the 50s. Really appreciate all the time and effort you put into the info you put out. Really cool that you have an actual professional pedigree to go along with what you’re doing. Much respect from the great state of West Virginia!
@@MobileReviewsEh this is exactly why I returned mine. Hopefully they take the high demand from their customers who’ve been asking them to make a fully protective case into consideration for the upcoming iPhone 15 lineup. I’m sure 95% of their customers including me would prefer that instead of the exposed bottom any day.
Ryan London has just as good leather as the Bullstrap. I like the Andar cases as well all for great leather smell, patina, and protection. I don’t mind the lack of bottom coverage either on the Bullstrap and Ryan London cases. RL uses same best leather and lacks bottom protection.
I had a ridge wallet leather case and the nomad . The nomad was my favorite but went along with the phone once I sold it . Rocking the mous leather on the new phone .
Interesting, I payed 45 Euros in Germany for the MUJJO Case. The superior finish and quality in comparison to the apple leather case made this pick a no brainer EDIT: I think you should've split the cases in categories. The nomad case is primarily a plastic case with leather on the back. In my opinion not a real leather case
Warning: DECODED sells poor quality leather that peels after a month of use. It arrived with factory errors. Despite indicating that they give a 2-year guarantee, when you write to them they do not respond.
I can see that as being polarizing… it’s actually one of the reasons I prefer nomad cases. I’m rather hard on my phone, so the TPU edge offers a lot more protection from wear and tear for my particular situation.
Apple leather cases have gotten cheaper over the years for sure. I had a green one for not even a year and it look like a mini version of WW3 happened on it. And I never drop my phone or place it in weird spots that it would get that much damage.
I think you need to try the Spigen Enzo. The quality of the leather is in a different league when compared to Apple and Nomad, and it has diamond cut metallic buttons. It also comes with a lifetime warranty! It’s pricey, but it will be the only leather case I use from now on.
Maybe. But my issue with Spigen is that they inflate the price of the case on their website. I can only find the Enzo directly through them and wasn't going to pay their premium and duty.
I just bought Bullstrap's Slate Minimalist case for my blue 15 Pro Max and when I say my hands are in love, I mean they feel like Deadpool's face being shoved into "rich corinthian leather". No joke. The case has a very subtle, micro suede feel to it, that I never knew I needed until now. Plus you get 2 free replacements every year in their warranty...what?! Who allowed that one to slip through CoC?
I absolutely hate leather. I find it frankly disgusting and saddened that it patinas overtime and becomes extremely ugly. I don’t know a single person in real life who likes leather maybe it’s just how we are here in northern Canada
I wouldn’t mind seeing reviews for Andar, Bullstrap, and Spigen’s expensive leather case. I’m actually thinking about getting a leather Nomad case because of it having better protection than the ones mentioned in the video.
Next time.
ive had my nomad horween case for my 14pm since september and i absolutely love it

Always appreciate the candid, honest and downright brutal reviews from this dude!

Top grain leather vs full grain? I'll take full grain.

Thank you for helping me find the Blackbrook case. It is pretty awesome looking and feeling!
I’d like to see Bull Strap leather case review

Looking forward to the 15 pro max leather case review. Great videos. Thanks for the reviews. Subscribed.
You missed one leather case made of all leather and nothing but leather. The Saddleback Leather case. I would love to know what you think of this one
I'm still using iPhone 12 Pro Max and I bought black apple leather case when I bought the phone and both are still looking like new.
Thanks for the great reviews as always! Do you plan on doing the Bullstrap?
There will be a Shorts review on the Bullstrap in the next couple of weeks.
Hi Arron you should try the best leather case in my opinion that I have been using for my iPhone for the past 3 years! It’s from a company called Saddleback Leather! 2:44
I had a bad experience with Nomad. It didn’t fit properly and I tried a few more on. None had great fit.
I think you’re doing a great job. Have you tested the Vaja leather case - Custom Stick-on Leather back for iPhone 14 Pro Max? Nomad just came out with Lather Back but only for iPhone 15 series.
I wish you would’ve tried the keyway brand leather case, pretty amazing quality for the price!
Where can i buy the blackbrook case? I am from Germany and cant find it anywhere… thanks!
Andar and Apple Leather Case are my go-to leather cases.
Any thoughts on Keyway leather cases? Thinking about buying one.
i already have a phone and bought a case, from your links obv, but i still like to watch every one of your videos i love your personality
Thanks!
You missed Decoded! Metal ring for the camera, beautiful leather, the best
Can you pls review the decoded leather case next time? I think these are worth a mention
Blackbrook and Andar for me. I prefer full grain leather cases that offer nice protection.
Andar cases are what the wildly overpriced Apple cases should be.
@@BC08 absolutely 💯
Since this video dropped there have been improvements to more leather cases not sure if you want to spend the money on iPhone 15 versions
are these magsafe cases as well?
you mean prize? not price right?
Love your reviews, dude!
Thx!
Ordered the Blackbrook 14 pro case. Putting my trust in you! 🤷🏻

Andar's offerings look similar to Bullstrap so I didn't bother. Sandmarc didn't even come across my radar.
Don’t know if they could handle the attention or orders but there is a hand made leather case on Etsy from Trim Leather, based out of Hong Kong. I’ve purchased one since the iPhone 5s when I discovered them.

Surprised Bullstrap and Andar wasn’t mentioned, both great cases.
Bullstrap has an exposed lip at the bottom. Didn't make the cut.

I bought a Wilkes leather case and I love it! I bought the all brown one it’s patina really good!
Where is Andar Aspen? Seems really popular and from pictures it looks really good.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Lonli iPhone 14 pro case from Amazon
Cool.
Lonli classic or Lonli edition?
Can you do a iPhone 15 version of this video, also including the Mujjo Shield / Impact case and the Andar case?
Just want to know what about andar aspen? Just looking for leather case!
Are there any good wood cases that are fully wrapped in wood? If so, I'd like to see a review of those top 5
WOW this channel deserves 1millions subscribers.
:)
Have you tried Buckle & Band’s leather iPhone case?
How does Bellroy not have a mod case for the regular 15 or plus 🙄
Nice vid mate
:)
Dbrand leather skin could be a good bonus option for absolutely zero protection with a naked leathery feel
yeah but not magsafe ish compatible thats why i had to remove it lol. but the patina so nice omfg. i posted a short on it.
Ryan London has just as good leather as the Bullstrap. I like the Andar cases as well all for great leather smell, patina, and protection. I don’t mind the lack of bottom coverage either on the Bullstrap and Ryan London cases. RL uses same best leather and lacks bottom protection.
Have you tested the Andar Aspen and Grams28 cases?
I’m using a dbrand leather skin on catalyst influence case.
Love my black Leather case on my 12PM. Got it for $20 brand new. Feels good in the hands
The updated leather for the new form factors are excellent.
I had a ridge wallet leather case and the nomad . The nomad was my favorite but went along with the phone once I sold it . Rocking the mous leather on the new phone .
I went back to my Mous case after this video was done. So much better than any of the leather things lol.
have you seen the grams28 leather iphone 14 series cases?
Interesting, I payed 45 Euros in Germany for the MUJJO Case. The superior finish and quality in comparison to the apple leather case made this pick a no brainer
EDIT: I think you should've split the cases in categories. The nomad case is primarily a plastic case with leather on the back. In my opinion not a real leather case
I mention that in the video.
What about Andar the aspen you gotta check that out
I love my Mujjo case, BUT I dislike how stiff the buttons are… Enough to the point where I dont use it as much as my apple leather case.
Can you teste the brand : Force Case ? Because nobody tests them and I think they can be interesting
I wonder if you tested Vaja cases. Case itself is just normal leather case like Apple or Mujjo one's, but leather quality was very good.
I have used Vaja in the past I think. DIdn't think much of them.
Love your reviews however the Blackbrook case for the base iphone 14 has an open base/bottom. Such a shame
Warning: DECODED sells poor quality leather that peels after a month of use. It arrived with factory errors. Despite indicating that they give a 2-year guarantee, when you write to them they do not respond.
I have the Spigen Enzo case ( won it ) and man that thing is beautiful. Just gave it to my wife
Cool.
I agree get the girl back we miss you two.
Bellory is the best high quality leather case I tried
Nomad was one of the top leather cases when they came on the scene, I refuse to buy them anymore because of the TPU edge.
I can see that as being polarizing… it’s actually one of the reasons I prefer nomad cases. I’m rather hard on my phone, so the TPU edge offers a lot more protection from wear and tear for my particular situation.
Chris!

Any comments on Vaja?
Used them before but not in this roundup.
Anyone here prefers the Andar Aspen to the Blackbrook Burton?
spigen enzo case is missing
It was. Couldn't bring myself to pay $150+ duty direct.
Are all the leather cases MagSafe compatible? Cos the Apple one is, just wondering ..
Nomad has Magsafe and the leather is tougher than Apples so it doesn’t leave the Magsafe imprints over time.
In this video, yes.
Apple changed their leather in 2020 with the iPhone 12 series to make it more durable for MagSafe and patina less
Apple leather cases have gotten cheaper over the years for sure. I had a green one for not even a year and it look like a mini version of WW3 happened on it. And I never drop my phone or place it in weird spots that it would get that much damage.
Good to know.
The Spigen Enzo case you forgot that one ☝️
Purposely didn't buy it because of my beef with Spigen's website.
Man I wonder if he tested the andar leather case or if it just didn’t make the top 5
Andar and Bullstrap seemed too similar to me. Regardless, the exposed bottom would have put it out of the top 5.
Vaja cases sir. That’s the ultimate one premium leather.
Can you please review the Arc Pulse?
Fine.
I paid $5 for my Apple Leather case, at that price I think it's worth it
Nice.
Thanks!
You bet!

Mini bay has best
Can’t just return em
I don't usually.
Bull strap and andar
Bullstrap didn't make the cut. Exposed edge. I'll check out Andar.

yea, you definitely missed Andar
The products seem way too similar to Bullstrap which I reviewed.
Apple leather case is the worst.I’m very careful and my screen got chipped about 4x
Wait… I feel I’ve seen this before?
Maybe. With older cases...
Please, don't give Apple a reason! (like they need one though)
