Me personally - I usually have 4-5. Then I settle into 1-2 that I like. In the past I’ve had 6-9. This last phone I really tried to reduce that. Same - I do 1-2 year phones.
Got a tip for us?

The MagSafe ring is visible on the inside of the case, as you can see in the attached picture. My car holder is a MagSafe-only one, so it does hold well with it
don’t have a MagSafe charger though, can’t comment much on it, but I’d expect it to work perfectly.Attachments
Interesting as on the webpage the ring is Not shown.
And it says iPhone 13 cases have MagSafe but I Need iPhone 12 Pro

You should probably ask them about it, not sure if the 12 models have them or not, since it’s my first time buying AndarInteresting as on the webpage the ring is Not shown.

Am I the only one who can see the magsafe ring in that photo? Its light but its there.
I get 2-3 cases since I upgrade yearly. Usually a leather case and something thin, maybe a clear case.
Yea I had a Nomad case and I don't like the plastic sides either.
Good in summer with wet or sweaty hands, straight sides and doesn’t chip like Apples, and not sticky. I have both.
Trying to decide on the following cases, Nomad, Bullstrap, or Andar. All 3 appear to be good cases. I really like the camel color (which Nomad doesn't offer). I have an iPhone 12 pro and tend to prefer slimmer cases. Anything I'm missing here? TIA
Here is how I see it:
Nomad
+ Price
+ Good reputation
- Only dark brown or black
Bullstrap
+ Color
+ Good reviews
- Bottom lip open
- Price
- No magsafe
- Logo
Andar
+ Color
- Bottom Lip open

Since I have the Bullstrap and Andar (and have used Nomad in the past) -- I'd add that Bullstrap fits the phone a bit closer than the Andar does. Andar's case is a tiny bit bigger than the Bullstrap.
Nomad - very big, with a big bottom lip with plastic that (when I had it) cut into my pinky.
So in the aspect that you prefer slimmer cases, the Bullstrap is going to be the slimmest case of the 3 that you have.
Nomad is by far the biggest, Andar next, and Bullstrap is the thinnest of the 3 - fits the case almost like an Apple case.
Thanks for the info. I grabbed the Bullstrap. It's really good. Nice thin fit, good leather. Do I think it's worth the full price? No...I don't think any case is worth $85 but at a discount, it's very well done.
Hey everyone, I'm sure I'm not the only one that received an email from Nomad about a new leather that they're using in addition to Horween. Does anybody have familiarity or input on what the Ecco tannery leather is all about? I guess more options are always a good thing, as long as the quality is there.
That's the same leather that Decoded use on their cases. Not sure if that helps any or not.
Just an update on the case, it has darkened and softened and looks great, only problem is I’ve noticed the leather is VERY thin on the outside so any drop on a hard surface will cause some bruising, I had a drop on to asphalt where it slipped out my pocket getting out the car magbe 2ft drop and it dinged hard that it showed the material underneath the leather. I’m going to continue using this case until it doesn’t loook good but so far I think it has some character, just wish the leather was slightly thicker on the edges.

Just request a new one, you have a lifetime guarantee. I dropped my phone recently and I got such bruises on the case. I wrote an email to Bullstrap, attached a photo and next day they sent a new case
Here's to hoping Apple fixes their leather cases for the 14 series! I'm going to be upgrading to the 14PM and will likely be picking up a leather case with it.
