Right, I said they were inconsistent with pictures on both sites but was comparing the fact their default images are different currently (that image kinda looks like a curved body so maybe old?). So I’m just not sure how we can conclude this year’s are still similar.

Bullstrap also shows this pic in the gallery of their iPhone 14 Pro, if we are looking deeper in the galleries:

it’s fine if they’re the same, but in that case I’m glad to avoid the Bullstrap logo.
 
I decided to go with the iPhone 14 Pro Max in deep purple (picking up this friday!) and the dune case from Bullstrap. Hope this combo works out! Decided to stay away from the official apple cases since I'm guessing they will age similarly to how they have these past few generations. A shame cuz I loved how my saddle brown XS Max case aged!

Have to be extra careful about bottom open or no big deal?
what do people do with their phones? Is this something that is worried about? My Apple XS Max leather case of 4 years has the open bottom. Never had an issue damaging it.

pretty certain these flat ones are the 12pros. The 13 and 14 camera bumps got bigger.
 
Nope...I sent mine back yesterday. Trying to decide if I am keeping this Ink one or getting something in the interim and waiting a month for a Bullstrap.
I kid I kid.

I was thinking of bullstrap too but they're a month out. My 12P andar case turned out pretty nice so I got their 14P case instead. Scheduled for delivery tomorrow just in time for release day.

Yea I really don't feel like waiting a whole month after release. We will see I guess.

What happens with the dark leather apple cases? Do they wear weird or not noticeable since dark. I think some pics I have seen just look newer.
 
Doubt it so I’m returning mine. Apple leather has been so bad in recent years and I can’t bother waiting to see that again.
Agreed. I use to always get an Apple leather case or two. No more. There’s so many other premium options for similar price point or less. Blackbrook, Nomad, Bullstrap, Sena, etc.

They don’t look to bad. I recently posted pics of a used sierra green Apple leather case I got off of eBay. It was just for about 3-4 months and looks really good in person. It’s a deep green now and the edges of the case are darker as well, almost black. The pics I took don’t represent how good the case looks in person. I’ll try and take a few better shots.

Left is my original XS Max saddle brown. Right is the new 14 Pro Max green I just had delivered. Wonder if I should take some alcohol wipes to the new one to get the coating off.

I was curious to see any 1 or 2 year old cases that were forced patina since the leather change. How turn out.
