Bullstrap have their cases for the 12s on Amazon now. Hadn’t seen them available for the 12 models before. All are Prime delivery, as well. If they don’t fit correctly, it’s an easy return without having to go through Bullstrap. I have a bourbon and a sienna on the way now. Hopefully they fit my 12 Pro Max better than the two I had to return to Bullstrap for my 12 Pro.

Oh wow, thanks. I may pull the trigger on Bullstrap's official site w/ a coupon code you can find on many sites. (Lot of 10% off codes)

I also saw Nomad Rugged 12's on Amazon for the first time. BUT many are sold out right now, the price seemed cheaper than the official website.

FWIW, I just received the black, bourbon and sienna for my 12 Pro Max and all fit perfectly. No problems at all. I don’t know why I had the trouble with my 12 Pro.

My Bourbon just arrived, love it!! I ordered Mon night at 11:50pm, arrived 10:33am this morning. The shipping from the Bullstrap site - with the 10% off code - was faster than Amazon would have been - and I have Prime. Amazon showed a delivery date for tomorrow if I ordered it Mon. night.

Beautiful case, little slippery...but I know I need to break it in.

Being slippery will go away fairly quickly. Unfortunately, the urge to see if anyone is looking and then smelling the case is a permanent thing.

I posted this in another thread but since this is Bullstrap specific, has anybody's camera protection collapsed? Mine after only 2 weeks is no longer protecting the camera lenses, I don't really understand why but it's definitely shrunk and the lenses are now above the case rim.
 
UPDATE: Well that was impressively fast. Within an hour of contacting them Bullstrap customer service sent me an email and a replacement case is being shipped out. I am very impressed, if nothing else they are on point with the CS!

They have definitely stepped up their customer service and shipping game from my initial experience two-ish months ago.

I wake up in the mornings and find myself sniffing my phone. I see many others do also, so we're not that odd. LOL!

BUT...this candle Bullstrap has now, is it the same iPhone case scent?? Hmm. 🤔
*I did buy a candle from 12South a few years ago, the scent of a new iMac. It smelled nice...but not quite like a new iMac.

No, we sniffers are not a small group.
I received an email about that. I wonder how they ever thought what can we do next and came up with the idea of a candle. And look at that price.

For those interested in the Bullstrap case (NO MagSafe), I would grab them off Amazon while you can at the lower price.

I got an "15% email sale" today from them, went to the site and...wow. The price of the cases for both new MagSafe and the classic went way up!

Bummer! Would be surprised by many sales at that price. O well. I will get something else.

It was on sale last weekend, but still...$85. It's a nice case and far better leather compared to these 12 Apple cases IMO (I can nit pick and say you're still getting the "old" design of having the bottom part of the case / lip open, like previous Apple model cases)

But this is not $85 and certainly not $95-99 nice. Look, inflation stinks...a $5, maybe $8 price hike would be..eh..ok I suppose, but not $25-30. Pretty hefty price increase.

Yes. I love the case. But it’s not $99 nice. They have some guts increasing that much. They may have just out priced me because the most I’ll spend on a phone case is $50-$60. I can’t stomach $100 for a phone case.

I paid $50 for it last year with a discount code and now it’s $99 😳

It wouldn’t shock me if they saw rising material prices everywhere, and decided to hike their own price up. Maybe they are having trouble sourcing the leather, but I don’t know, this company has always done shady things.

It’s the same company who used free shipping as marketing incentive to buy from them, but didn’t mention that they had raised the price of each product by $5.
