What case is this?

View attachment 2108272View attachment 2108273Found this case that looks similar to Bullstrap but is a bit cheaper. It’s called Cretanbull. I want to preorder but can’t decide which color would look best with my gold phone.

I think all of them would look good! These might be a good alternative to bullstrap. $55 shipped for November arrival.

Do they have a blue option?

They do. It appears that is the exact case that BS uses (or at least used to use).

They call it “marine”.

Just for reference the buttons are black. I’m very tempted to pull the trigger.

Welp… now comes a real challenge. I told myself I was sticking with one case this year and I’m in a black Ryan London and have been perfectly happy with it.

But ughghhgh I want that bluuuuu.

Those who would like to purchase Apple's Umber leather case but hate that it doesn't patina like it used to can use Venetian Leather Balm on it. It immediately darkened mine to a nice dark brown color.
*Edit. Sorry, I forgot to post picture.

How does the balm change the texture and feel? Is it more sticky? I’ve always stayed away from that kind of stuff in the past…

How long can BS keep charging what they charge for their cases when the competition are 30% cheaper

Yeah I'm not sure how this could happen. Did they not inspect a single case they shipped? Or were they hoping nobody would complain?

But they were clearly aware of these issues and yet still shipped them out. Kind of a #&$%& move if you ask me. They should have just scrapped all these and delayed until ones that met their standard came in. Its almost like we will send out whatever and the ones that complain or reach back out to us we will address and everyone from Nov 15 forward will get the revised versions.

seems reasonable to behave the way they did, imo. makes more sense to just deal with all the returns/replacements that come about than to issue replacements/refund for every single customer. considering their warranty, and their willingness to replace the cases for no cost, there's not a whole lot more you could have asked for besides not getting a ****** quality case, I suppose.

Which exact Venetian Leather Balm did you use? It appears that there variations such as brown and dark brown.

Sadly they only ship to US. But you could use a company like Shipito.

It looks great! Is it the Venetian imperial balm? Just want to make sure before I order on Amazon lol.

Yes! I attached a pic. Get Black.

Nah, feels smooth. Not sticky at all!

Black. I looked all over the bottle and it doesn't say. But when you order it select Black. I have attached a pic.
