Trying my best to not make this a generic "what should I buy" thread. I'm hoping for some actual discussion on this. To be clear - I honestly do not want buying recommendations. At all. I want feedback on the various leather case options. Ideally, this thread can be pointed to as a reference for anyone who wants to research the various leather case offerings this generation and come to their own conclusions.

Background - when I get an iPhone I generally swap between two cases based on what I'm doing - a TPU case (I have my favorites), and a leather case. Apple's leather cases have gone downhill. In fact, you can't convince me that the 13-series cases are actually leather. It peels like crazy despite minimal use, and there has been zero patina (not a complaint, I prefer no patina, but if there's no patina after a year then it's not actual leather).

So with that in mind, for those who have a non-Apple branded leather case please provide the following information:

• Which case do you have? (brand and model) (oh, and please specify your phone!)

• If they've changed the branding or product name, what's the current equivalent product available for the 14-series?

• Why did you originally choose it over the Apple leather case?

• What do you like about the case?

• What do you dislike about the case?

To reiterate, responding with "you should buy X" is a useless and less than helpful comment. Providing the info from the above bulleted list helps not only me, but anyone else who wanders into this thread who is sick of the endless stream of Amazon referral link blog spam.
