Earlier today, we launched Olde Dublin, our second Limited Edition leather from Horween Leather Company. Dublin leather has the most variation and character of all the leathers we’ve worked with which is why we’re excited to introduce it to our iPhone 16 lineup.

Dublin leather undergoes minimal, natural tanning that brings out the hide’s distinct colors and tonal variations. With a richer concentration of oils, it offers more shine and develops a deep, beautiful patina more quickly than most other leathers. No two cases will look the same, which means the Olde Dublin case in your hands is 100% yours.

Here are some of the things we love most about it, in no particular order: 

• It has a more rugged and varied look. 
• It preserves the natural qualities of the hide. 
• It burnishes rapidly to develop a rich patina.

Dublin leather is a rich, vegetable-tanned leather known for its unique finish. It shares the supple feel of Horween’s Essex leather but has a deeper, more refined color that highlights the natural features of the hide (think blemishes and stretch marks).

The leather is made using Horween’s century-old Cordovan vegetable tanning formula but incorporates a slightly higher concentration of oils and waxes. This gives it more shine and allows it to develop a richer patina. After tanning, the leather is ironed, which gives it its smooth texture and silky finish.

Dublin leather is hand-tanned with natural waxes and oils and doesn’t have any synthetic coating. This makes it more likely to show scratches and marks in the first few weeks of use. Over time, the leather will absorb these marks, becoming more durable and resistant to wear. 

When you first receive your Olde Dublin case, handle it with care! Avoid sharp surfaces, objects and any exposure to moisture, and be sure to regularly treat it with a high-quality leather conditioner. We’ve been recommending this leather conditioner since 2012 and we’ll continue to stand by it: Leather Conditioner by Ashland Leather Co. Learn more about caring for your leather in our Leather Care Guide. 

Our Limited Edition Olde Dublin Modern Leather Case and Folio highlight everything special about Olde Dublin leather. These accessories give your tech a sophisticated leather look that gets better and better with time. 

What we love most about our leather gear is how it combines with modern design features to enhance your iPhone experience. The grooved TPU bumper and responsive aluminum buttons add durability and ease of use, while the slightly raised bumper protects your screen from daily wear. Precise cutouts give you easy access to the bottom ports and the iPhone 16’s all new Camera Control button. Plus, integrated neodymium magnets ensure flawless compatibility with all MagSafe chargers and accessories.

The Folio’s card slot has been upgraded to an all-leather design for a sleek, cohesive look and it has the same optional magnetic clasp that our other iPhone 16 Folios have.

Our Olde Dublin gear is crafted with care, and we hope you love it as much as we do. Since this is a Limited Edition release, once it's gone, it won’t be restocked—grab yours while you can.
