Absolutely. The ink was starting to get that tacky Apple leather feel. I ended up on Bullstrap last year and this is my endgame case without the fluff in between. It’s also half the price and delivered within a week versus wherever Bullstrap is at this point.

Edited for a word.
Okay okay. I’m sold.

I’m ordering.

Just looks like the old apple leather cases, good till you drop it and chips the bottom of the phone, speaking from experience.
 
Okay. What does a chip matter? Apple still accepts it as a trade.

Also, been using open bottomed cases pretty regularly and I’ve never had a “chipped bottom”.
Same here. I was rocking a Bullstrap for almost the whole life of the 13 pro and my phone was pristine. And plus the open bottom allows a much nicer swiping experience imo.
 
Received my RL case saddle brown last Friday after a small holdup by customs.

Only to find out there is a small production flaw. Looks like they wanted to make the camera cutout on the wrong side of the case. Not sure what to do now with the case. Hope it will fade away (self healing leather..) Already emailed RL about what to do. (Waiting for an answer but it’s weekend now). Looks like this one slipped through quality control.

One side of me says not to worry. More scuffs will get on the case (kind of pre patina). Otherwise says for the price this should not happened.

Any ideas?

Edit: removed the pictures since other people where using them to claim a free case from Ryan London. They contacted me about this.

Just a heads up to anyone annoyed with the Bullstrap wait. I know we talked about this a couple of pages back but if you chat with them they will make the wait worth your while (at least in my opinion). I got a decent refund and a free product from them that'll be added to my order. If you haven't yet reach out to them.
 
For those of you with Apple Leather Cases on your 14 Pros, does your case have a gap between the bottom of the phone and the top piece of leather that sits on the right above the lightning cutout?

Umber sitting at 13 days. I really hope it doesn’t darken only on the sides. Looking good so far.
Looks amazing! I’m using the midnight leather case which I’m loving so far. I really want to get the umber case for my space black PM but I’m waiting to see how it fares. Keep me updated please!
