Does anybody have any pics of what the patina on a Bullstrap dune looks like after few months of use?

My RL seems to be stuck. Ordered 11/7. Royal Mail tracking was also saying the same thing all day yesterday.

I keep seeing this screen too. I thought it meant my order hadn't shipped yet but it looks like it's not working for anyone.

Still waiting on Cretanbull to ship. I just checked and it’s showing 11/17 - 21 so still a bit of a wait.

No skin off my back tbh. I’m looking forward to that color but I’m also extremely happy with the black Ryan London.

MagSafe imprint looks cool oddly enough

I’ve never understood the hatred for the imprints. It’s a function of the case so should be expected. If you don’t appreciate the look then leather probably isn’t the best choice; it’ll likely be among many other signs of use.

my RL doesn't have an imprint yet haha, only had it a week

Someone on Twitter said to try this:

Hasn’t moved, even though it looks like it has.

So I just put the RL case on my phone and I like it so far. It feels good and it seems like it will protect the phone well even though the bottom is open.
I have the 13 Pro Max in Gold and the gold outline of the phone shows even when the case is on. Is this normal? I was using the Caudabe Sheath before and the I could only see the screen, not the gold edge with the case on....

Nope, that’s why I only use MagSafe for the wallet and not for charging. That would drive my ocd crazy.

Normal - I love that it does that!

Can you see the outline of your phone using this case? I have the Gold 13 pro max, and I can see the gold outline with this case on, but couldn't when I was using the Caudabe Sheath.

Okay thanks!
Thought there was an issue with the fit which is why the Gold outline all around the phone is showing..

I have never really used leather cases before.
Do you clean yours with any special type of leather cleaner? Obviously our hands will be oily/dirty at times when touching the case, so will this effect the case and make it look horrible? I have the dark brown RL case...

This is what I use but I use it very sparingly and only use a tiny amount.

It appears that my RL will be here Monday.

aj11fan · Nov 12, 2022

So I had put an order for Ryan London on Monday. I never got any shipping email or tracking or nothing telling me it’s been shipped. I was shocked when I opened my mailbox, super fast shipping to California. But here it is. I think I’m the only one on here that got a Ryan London pouch lol. Inside seems like it’s a wool felt material. I like the thick slab of leather; feels very good in hand. Also got the apple ink case from eBay. Ink is so much better looking in person.
