It seems like there's quite a few people waiting for their Bullstrap case! I ordered the Dune and the ship date is on or after 10/31. Oof.

I don't normally have the patience to wait for things but here we are. I'd pick up an Andar case, but I'm just not a fan of the black camera ring and buttons. In the meantime, anyone have more photos of how their Dune has aged over time?

Got a text yesterday from Bullstrap asking me how I like my new case that I haven’t even received yet.
They are really taking forever to ship these things. The rep I talked to last week said they were fairly confident they would be shipping out this week. Not sure what the hold up is.

I went with these guys in 2020 for my 12 PM and experienced a few delays too, not a great experience. The case was fine, but not worth the price and the 4-6 weeks delay I went through.
 
This company needs to figure it out. I preOrdered my black case for my iPhone 14 Pro Max September 8.
October 28 I emailed them asking where my order is. They replied about delays and offered a free wallet or a 20% discount. I asked about adding an additional case in Bourbon, never heard a reply.
Today I received the case for an iPhone 14.

Processed a return for a refund, and they are expecting me to pay return shipping for their mistake.
 
In case anyone hasn’t followed the other case threads, the Ryan London is the best leather case I’ve owned. Ever. The fit, buttons, smell, shape and surface features are all perfect.

I was the one mentioned above that’s used both and can confirm they’re they exact same case with different stamps. I have a Cretanbull getting ready to ship and I’m convinced that will be the third in the leather case triplets.

It’s been a nightmare for sure but I received my replacement case today and couldn’t be happier. Everything about it is perfect which I couldn’t say for the others I have rotated through while I waited for Bullstrap to sort out their mess. Ryan London comes in second for preference although the buttons aren’t as good. Leather seems relatively similar but my Bullstrap smells better (not that it matters) and just felt better for whatever reason. It’s at least another good alternative if your looking for an open bottom case and fed up with Bullstrap.
 
I had this case for my 13 Pro and the camera bump (because of this huge bulk around the camera) was to big for MagSafe accessories. When I attached the MagSafe Battery Pack to the phone the battery was not lying flat on the phones' back. The same goes for the MagSafe Car Mount - the phone fell down very often because the phone was not attached to the mount as it should be.


Here you have a cheaper alternative.
 
Tempted to get a RL

but those Ali cases for $25 look really good for the money too... dang

thanks for the extra recommendations if I go the leather route
