Has anyone owned both Bullstrap and Ryan of London? Are they identical?
More recent product photos make them look different, but past models looked very close. Someone here said a past model was nearly identical, but the 14 series cases look different.
 
I cannot recommend Bullstrap enough. I looked hard at all the other brands and was very picky. Bullstrap won out, and 1 year later I have zero regrets. It’s an excellent leather that shows the correct type of patina.
Have to be extra careful about bottom open or no big deal?

Before I bought the Bullstrap case, based on other user’s comments about the open bottom, I was worried.

After 1 year of owning the case, I looked at the bottom of my 13 pro, and there isn’t a single scratch in that exposed area.

So anybody complaining that the bottom is open is this case is WAY overthinking it.

Other’s also mentioned excessive pinky pressure when the bottom is exposed. I use my phone as my computer (I.e. all day long) and have never had that issue (and FWIW, I have very small hands).

I have a brand new Bullstrap sienna for iPhone 13 Pro that I’m selling. Didn’t even use it once. It was a replacement through warranty. But I also preordered the 14 pro, so I won’t be needing this. DM if interested!

Glad to hear honoring lifetime warranty.
 
Not a fan of umber at all…maybe it’ll patina well, but not counting on it

Which model did you own them for? I saw you mention this earlier but then their latest product renders look different from each other so I’m wondering if they’ve diverged.
To me, the Ryan of London cases for the 14 line more resemble the Andar case than the bull strap. Time will tell I guess but that is what pushed me to order a Bullstrap.

13 Pro.

Edit: just looked at the website and the pictures are exactly the same for the 13 Pro and 14 Pro offerings.

For me they look different on their default pics, with most Bullstrap pics showing a protruding camera border while Ryan shows a flat camera border (that said…. Both brands have inconsistent product photos that are not the same as the rest):
