Do you have any recommendations for a leather case for the iPhone 15 Pro Max? I have the Natural Titanium 15 Pro Max and I’m based in the Philippines. Thanks in advance.

Would anyone happen to have recommendations for an ultra-thin leather case for the iPhone 15 Pro? The ones I see on Amazon seem bulky, and almost all ultra-thin ones are cheap plastic.

Hello, I watched reviews and read many posts (even on this sub) regarding leather cases, including this Ryan London one. I noticed some issues mentioned by few people, but I decided to order it despite it. Here is my short summary/review of RL leather case.

leather:

Feels and looks great, grippier than official Apple case that has paint coating. Makes cracking sounds when putting phone in and out, however this goes hand in hand with leather materials and I like it actually. Does not make any sounds when holding and using the phone. Small decent RL logo is placed on side at the bottom of case - much better than other brands do it on their cases.

case:

Is pretty sturdy. It is little difficult to put phone in case, however it holds the device great, no movement, loose fit or anything. On the other hand, getting the phone out is pain in the ass, and I managed to scratch the leather with my nail when trying it first time. It needs some practice to do it fast and safe. Original Apple's leather case is much easier to fit on phone and remove. Case edges are little thicker than Apple's, but the case does not appear and feel bulky at all. One thing I am not fan of is that USBc port cutout is slightly visible when looking at bottom of screen, but it's not a deal breaker.

buttons:

Metallic, clicky, feels great. On the original Apple's case this was the part I liked the most. Here on RL is the experience basically the same. However, buttons are slightly thicker and set flat on leather surface compared to Apple's case (buttons are positioned in small dent and are thinner). I prefer the Apple's ones, but the experience is more or less the same, and some people won't notice the difference. On RL, it is much easier to identify and press the buttons over the jeans when carrying the phone in pocket.

camera ring:

Metallic, skewed on the inside. Compared to Apple's ring it is little bulkier. I have a nightstand/holder where I attach the Apple's magsafe charger. The frame of the holder touches the camera ring. Was it just a slightly bigger - I think it would not fit. So it is to consider when using some bigger magsafe accessories like battery pack, if it fits.

magsafe:

Magnets are very strong, compared to Apple's I would say identical. No problem there. Official magsafe charger charging without any problems. Of course, case does not make a sound or animation when putting the phone in, as compared to official Apple's cases.

Overall I am satisfied with this case. I would prefer thinner buttons, and easier removing phone from the case, but it's not a big issue for me. Leather feels good in hand and case is sturdy and feels premium. I will probably update post in few months to let you know my long-term experience and if anything changed.
