perhaps a small business is having a little bit of trouble with, from what this thread would suggest, an influx of orders, and may be entitled to some understanding during this busy christmas season.
that is just a guess though.

Have you been carrying it between your ass cheeks for weeks, because that’s what it looks like.
What is the name of the leather milk and where did you buy it from?just applied the leather milk, and used a small amount like @Forbin1221. it smells excellent! the applicator they sent was absolutely gigantic though, i'll have to use something my wife has laying around
Just got my RL case and first impressions are I like it a lot. It is definitely less bulkier than the Andar case I was using which felt sort of odd at first after putting it on the phone but quickly adjusted to it. It doesn't have the over powering smell of leather like the Andar had but has the same feel in quality. Buttons are awesome and tactile and the open bottom feels much more natural to me at least for swiping etc. So far it seems like a solid choice for those that don't mind the open bottom cases. I am anxious to see how my BS "revised batch" compares but am thinking it is going to be the same case more or less aside from the branding. The only downside so far is the shipping times which seem to vary from order to order.
The delivery window for my Cretanbull is coming up and I'm sure it's going to be in that same batch. I'm beyond pleased with my Ryan London so we'll see how the communication with the seller goes if I decide to send it back when I get hands on. Regardless of which I choose, I'll still have that open bottom that is just lovely with the FLOLAB screen protector.
These cases get better as they age and I just can't over-express how nice it feels after a full month of usage. I also can't recall the last time I've gone this long without dropping my phone; I usually break my screen protectors within a week. Happy to say other than the MagSafe imprints the case still looks and feels brand new.
Regarding Ryan London, they're a small business shipping internationally and usually within a week. Seems to me the delays we're seeing are due to customs which is completely out of the seller's control I would imagine.
I just received this email from Bullstrap. I'm pretty speechless and honestly can't really believe another word they say...
This is Claudio… CEO/Founder of Bullstrap.
I am sending you this email for two reasons: First, to say thank you for choosing to purchase with Bullstrap (you’re a legend)! Second, to personally apologize.
Here’s the deal, we’ve been selling a ton of our iPhone 14 cases, and your order is one of just a couple dozen where we oversold a case from our most recent batch. So unfortunately, the case you ordered won’t be shipping out until December 15th. I honestly cannot apologize enough for this oversight. BUT…
To make this up to you, we are still going to send you the same size iPhone 14 case you ordered, but in our newest Dune color this week! That will be totally for free; it’s our way of saying thank you for being a Bullstrap customer and for putting up with the growing pains of a small growing company. I seriously appreciate you!
You will still ALSO be receiving the specific color case that you ordered, but that case just won’t be shipping out until December 15th.
If you have any other concerns or questions, feel free to reach out!

Wow. With the holidays that means cases will be received by next year. I do wonder how many freebies they’re giving out to make up for the delayed orders. That’s $90 a case! Now how long will it take to get the freebies lol
Don’t be so harsh, they’re making you a free valuable and pricey gift to make things better for you. They faced an issue with a new supplier. This could happen to any business. They apologised numerous times and trying their best.
I’ve never owned a Bullstrap case but at least they’re professionals.
If you are not satisfied you can cancel the order anytime.
At the end of the day it’s just a case, not real first world problems.
Just as an fyi too and it may be part of the issue…
My company deals with a local guy who custom makes leather holsters for medical first responders and leather belts, also bags etc. He was telling me that since Covid it has been EXTREMELY difficult to get the hides needed to make leather goods. Due to the reduction in livestock for meat production because of closed restaurants and stores, there are less hides available.
That may also be contributing to delays. I’m in Canada but I’d imagine it’s not exactly a localized thing.

I think this is a descent and honest apology.
For a small business, this is professionalism. And they just got a (new) future cutomer here.
that seems like a pretty good response for a mess up. honestly not sure what people want nowadays, nobody can make a mistake.

Thanks for posting this link. I just tracked my Ryan London order. I ordered mine on November 8th.
Here is the current status, at least it is state side.
Yeah those Dune cases look pretty sweet. If you don't like it you can always sell it and bam! Free Bullstrap case in December.
Use the USPS site. You can use your Royal Mail tracking number there and I found it to be far more accurate.Here’s what mine says (ordered on the 7th):
It must be coming via carrier pigeon.
Looking forward to hearing everybody’s thoughts across the leather spectrum.
It did, I just got home and got dinner for the kids. I haven't had a chance to open it yet.
