I just received the Bandwerk sport leather case with the black/shocking orange combination. While I love the way it looks in person, the case is quite heavy even on my iPhone 16 Pro and the camera control cutout is not ergonomic and makes pressing the button difficult. Will try it out for a few days and then make up my mind as to whether I am going to keep it.
Hey, my initial impression aligns closely with yours. In terms of weight and size, I find it perfectly reasonable given that it’s a Sport Leather case, which provides significantly more protection compared to other leather cases. I haven’t come across any other leather case on the market that offers similar protective features, especially with the waterproof leather.
Yes sir! It’s indeed the new 38mm Longines Conquest, you have got good eyes. I have featured it as a part of my last EDC video for Fall 2024, check it out 🙌
Don’t recommend Decoded cases this year, mine looks terrible after just 2 weeks of use, instead of patina it just wears out ugly. The other thing is that the buttons and camera protector are made of plastic which feels very cheap. Don’t know what happened but Decoded went down with quality this year.
I don’t like the look of the Ryan London cases personally, that’s why I haven’t included them. Nomads traditional leather case is actually shown in the video!
Love your videos! Always look forward to watching a new one
I truly appreciate that 😊
Decoded one is my favorite-super nice color way

Thank you so much for this video! I'll be getting the BandWerk Sport Leather Case
My pleasure! Having it on my iPhone right now, such a gooood case 🤌🏻
Nice video! And nice watch, btw! Looks like the new Longines Conquest 2023 in 41mm (or maybe 38?), black, am I correct? Classy watch...

Thank you! That’s sad to hear, they look so nice when brand new :(
@ true, what’s even more sad is that I had the same case for 15 pro max and it was much better quality :/
Thanks I was about to go for it. Liked the blue leather with blue lip
I wish you mentioned how the cases’ camera button cut out configuration was. That is a biiiiig problem in the 16 this year.
Except of Nomad’s traditional leather case all the other cases have a very similar cut out for the camera button 😄
I like the BandWerk Sport Leather Case
Same here 🙌
What camera did you use to record this video?
And a lens...
I am using Sony Alpha 7SIII and Sony 24-70 GM lens and I am shooting in S LOG 3
Nice video sir.
If you want to go up a level in quality you need to experience cases by Ryan London, Bullstrap, Satchel & Page and even Andar.
You forgot wiiuka.
Made in Berlin. Still the best leather case for me!
Cool, I‘ve never heard of this brand before
Eye spy omega aqua terra?
It’s the new Longines Conquest 38mm 😊
you forgot Ryan London.
Thanks, gonna check it out
And bullstrap and Andar. Those are some other high end cases. Great video btw.
@@kaiichinose9590 maybe Marnelo - aligator skin case xD
Agreed. These are “good” but Ryan London, Bullstrap, Satchel & Page and Andar are “great”.
I just have checked Ryan London, I don’t like their design and leather choices, those look bad in my opinion.

Yes sorry, still working on that pronunciation
Can’t take this review seriously since it did not include Ryan London and also Nomad’s traditional leather case.

@@beautyoftechnologythink he means nomad modern case
