first time to use leather case, love it, the air case is super slim, love this product.
Great looking case that also feels great on the phone. Great for protection without that bulk
So I’ve been doing leather cases for years for my iPhones. I’ve bought cases from all the usual suspects, Andar, Bullstrap, Nomad, Ryan London etc. I don’t care to spend a little extra for a premium product…within reason.
This year I switched from my usual pro max to the Air, I love this phone, never looking back. So I was on the search for a good leather case. In particular one with the open bottom design, I think the Air with the open bottom design is reminiscent of the iPhone 10 with apples own leather case that had an open bottom design (back when they made quality leather cases) I thought that looked so slick and wanted to replicate that. And I wanted Tan leather, so the search was on.
I first looked at Andar, right color, right price but they decided to go with closed bottom on the air. With this thin phone I felt after market charging cables would be a problem, and that’s not what I was after. Then Bullstrap, right color, open bottom design, but they chose to cover the whole camera module which to me looked tacky, and they were over the top expensive as usual. Then Nomad, they went with a weird design for the air, closed top, open bottom, but also open sides and not the color I wanted, and a little too pricey. So that leaves Ryan London, they had exactly what I was looking for but the price point was kind of high.
I was about to break down and buy the Ryan London, then while thumbing through YouTube I came across a video from Qasim and noticed the case he had on his Air, I checked in the description and realized this was his case, he made this thing, it was exactly what I was looking for and it was available for pre- order at a $50 price point. I gambled and preordered.
It finally came and I have to tell you this Tekmomo case is by far the best leather case I have ever owned for an iPhone. This guy did his research and covered every base with this thing, I’m seriously so impressed. This has quality vegetable tanned leather, you smell it as soon as you open the box, so premium, and the perfect color tan. He used metal buttons and camera guard. The buttons are the perfect size and clickiness, and are perfectly responsive, the camera guard has the perfect raise to protect the camera. I’m using the word perfect a lot… because it is. This case keeps the Air super thin and light, and feels so good in the hand. It has adequate lip around the screen, so if your one to set your phone face down like me, no worries. I’m particular about MagSafe strength, no one wants weak magnets of course, but I’ve found that too strong of magnets are just as annoying. I don’t want to pull my car mount off my vent every time I remove my phone. The magnet strength on this case is again.. perfect. It holds to everything super strong, no worries, but not too strong to where I have issues removing from my mounts. The attention to detail with this case is truly amazing.
I’m sorry this is so winded, I just felt this case needed a proper review. Normally I don’t do this as I’m too busy to sit around writing reviews, but I’m so impressed by how good this case is, and so glad lucked upon it. I would put this case head to head with all the big names, I’ve owned them all, and this is better! Who would have thought? If you love leather cases and you’re on the fence don’t be, just buy it, you won’t regret it.
I’m shocked at the quality to cost ratio. Truly wonderful leather quality, and extremely well made. Phenomenal case.
Right out of the packaging, I was already in love with this case. I have used Nomad, Bullstrap, Ryan London, Andar and many other top brand leather cases. The leather Tekmomo used is superior. The buttons are perfectly aligned and satisfyingly clicky. On top of the quality case you’re getting, you’re supporting a honest creator who genuinely cares about people. Small businesses will always be preferred for me, hands down.
I don’t see myself buying any leather case brand other than Tekmomo going forward. I can’t wait to see how this patinas over time. It’s truly my favorite part about owning leather products!
