Nicola Meyer - The Leather Master Reviews

A REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE! Unfortunately a very bad experience. I placed an order for an iPhone cover in taupe saffiano leather, shown in the first image. What I got was a completely different color (second image.) I wanted to exchange it and we settled on an olive green color (third photo), instead I got a brown cover (fourth photo). Meanwhile the first cover started breaking apart. I have been promised a refund, and now he's acting very rude or I don't hear from him at all. This has been going on now for over 2 months. A REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE!

I’m sorry you feel this way, but I believe it is important to clarify a few things.

The first cover was replaced after you expressed dissatisfaction with the color. The second color was selected by you from a photograph you provided, and I sent you the cover in that exact color. Unfortunately, even that was not satisfactory.

Throughout our many email exchanges, there was honestly a point where I could no longer understand exactly what the problem was, or even establish whether the damage reported was due to a manufacturing issue.

In over 30 years of working with leather, I have always been willing to take responsibility and find solutions when something goes wrong. However, resolving a problem also requires clear communication and cooperation from both sides.

I regret that we were unable to reach a satisfactory outcome, but I do not think it is fair to describe my attitude or my service in the way you have.

bijzonder mooi telefoon hoes. Perfect afgewerkt. Krijg er veel complimenten over. Met de extra flap veel ruimte voor de pasjes en een vakje voor bankbiljetten

Likes and dislikes My first phone case was 7+ years ago it was orange ostrich and it was beautiful. Years passed, phones became larger and my much loved orange case became very worn and discolored - 2026 time for a new phone and a wonderful new case. I ordered navy blue ostrich with my initials in gold. The case feels amazing in my hands, fits nicely in a pocket and has started to shape to my palm. The color disappointed me only because it was closer to black and the monogram looks unworthy of such a wonderful product; however I can live with the color and the monogram will be . . .

Amazing craftsman. Much better than all the stuff from others, here you know he is making you what you asked and not some dropshipped generic cover, or in this case, a beautiful cordovan nr 8 galaxy ultra band.

Un produit de qualité, il tient bien sur l'appareil. Très agréable au toucher. Je pense en acheter un autre, mais c'est difficile de choisir la couleur, car sur la description on ne voit pas à quoi ressemble chaque couleur.

Cara Yulia, grazie di cuore per la tua splendida recensione! Mi fa davvero piacere sapere che hai apprezzato la qualità della custodia, la sua presa sicura sul dispositivo e la piacevolezza al tatto. Sono ancora più felice di sapere che stai pensando di acquistarne un'altra. Per quanto riguarda i colori, hai ragione: a volte le foto e le descrizioni non riescono a rendere perfettamente le diverse tonalità. Se hai qualche dubbio, scrivimi pure: sarò felice di inviarti altre fotografie o di aiutarti a scegliere il colore più adatto ai tuoi gusti. Grazie ancora per la fiducia e il supporto! Un caro saluto,

Quando ho aperto il pacco e ho visto la custodia per la prima volta, sono rimasta profondamente emozionata. Era di una bellezza straordinaria. Non ho visto semplicemente una custodia in pelle, ma un'opera che sembrava avere un'anima. Tra tutti i dettagli, quello che preferisco è il passante sul retro. Ha una bellezza discreta che rende questa custodia davvero speciale. Ho provato tante custodie nella mia vita, ma questa è, senza alcun dubbio, la mia preferita. Ogni volta che la uso, mi rende felice. Grazie di cuore, Nicola.

Old-World Craftsmanship in the Modern Age I have one of Nicola Meyer’s iPhone cases, and he recently made me a custom MacBook cover in black shagreen. Both pieces are exceptional. I have owned many exotic-leather iPhone cases over the years, including python and stingray cases from other companies, and they almost always fail in the same way: the edges separate, the rubber piping deteriorates, and the case starts to look tired. Nicola’s iPhone case is different. The construction is elegant, clean, and durable. The edging is so well integrated that you barely notice it, and the whole object feels made to last. The MacBook cover is even more extraordinary. It was made to order for my 14-inch MacBook Pro, and Nicola worked with me directly on the material and design. The shagreen is gorgeous. Because of the natural structure of the stingray hide, the spine could not be centered, but that is part of what makes the piece so beautiful. It feels like a natural object, not a manufactured accessory. The fit is perfect. The material is superb. The craftsmanship is obvious. Every time I look at it, I love it again. My friends adore it too. Thank you, Nicola, for making a truly excellent old-world object for modern times.

Handcrafted as described. A few blemishes but that is expected with handmade items. Leather is very high quality. I feel the leather on the outer screen is not necessary since it makes the cover bulky. Long mailing times are a consideration. But a pretty good product.

Thank you very much for your honest review and for appreciating the quality of the leather and the handcrafted work. Small natural imperfections can indeed be part of handmade items and make each piece unique. Regarding the leather on the outer screen, I completely understand your point of view. That part is designed to provide additional protection and consistency in the overall design, although it can make the case feel a bit bulkier depending on personal preference. Your feedback is very valuable and helps me improve future designs. I also apologize for the longer shipping time. International deliveries can sometimes take more time than expected, unfortunately. Thank you again for your support and trust in my handmade work. Best regards, Nicola
