Just got my Ryan London case in the mail today. ..... Wow.... I had forgotten what real leather smells like. Not chemical leather eye burning smell but real leather. lol.

It fits perfectly - even better than Bullstrap which I thought took the award for best 3rd party fitting case.

I keep smelling it lol. Smells so great. Like the leather cases of old.

I've only had this case on the phone for less than an hour and I already love everything about it. And I've used leather cases since the 6+. lol.


I ordered mine on the 8th. Got it yesterday (California, USA) maybe (I don't check mail every day).

this was me when i opened it. i couldn’t stop smelling it lmao
 
I have. We'll see if they respond.
I would honestly just cancel if you already have a Ryan London case. I know the lifetime warranty sounds good, but how often really do you plan on switching a leather case that’s meant to patina. I’m actually going to hold on to Ryan London case the shade of brown is slightly different than BullStrap. Which I happen to prefer.
 
I'm chatting with them now. They gave me a 20% discount and that is the holdup apparently. I canceled.
Everyone can get the 20% to those who dare lol

the only downside to the RL case would be the open bottom, if that bothers you. doesn't bother me, and to be honest i prefer it.

it's cheaper than the official apple case and a hell of a lot higher quality. order RL, you won't be sorry.

When I get my Cretanbull case, we'll talk about that :p
I love my black RL case! I’m currently waiting for my sienna BS. I had enough points to get $50 off and then the added 20% discount made it to come out to $26 total 👍🏼
 
Have not spent much time with it yet as I did not get to put it on until later last night. So far though, loving it! Has that nice leather smell that you do not find with Apple leather case which I have been using for the most part since day one. It feels a bit smooth at the moment since it is fresh out the wrapping paper. Looking forward to that changing and getting better grip. :)

Still haven’t received mine. Ordered on the 7th. No tracking since the 9th when it says it left the UK. USPS says the same thing.

I'm in the same boat. I ordered the 9th and my tracking has said "Item Leaving the UK. Your item is now leaving the UK. More information will be available when it arrives in the destination country" for the past week. I emailed RL yesterday and they said they were checking with Royal Mail.

I don't really think there's much RL can do once the package has left their hands. it's being imported. it would be one hell of a coincidence if several people in here had their packages misplaced. it stands to reason that the packages are simply delayed. Not to mention the Royal Mail strike, haha.
You’re 💯 correct! Mine was shipped a day before their strike and mine took almost a month to reach my hands. Just have patience. This isn’t a regular occurrence for RL. And you’re right, there’s nothing they can do. They can’t control Royalmail, customs and usps etc. I know waiting sucks, but this great case is so worth it! When you open your new RL take your celebratory whiff of that leather and breath a sigh of relief 🤣.
 
Okay so I got my replacent bullstrap sienna case for my 14 Pro Max today. I’ve never had a case from them and the wallet I received for free seems to be way nicer quality. The case smells really bad like a paint chemical.

yep. definitely wasn't putting the blame on them i just asked them if anyone else had contacted them about a package being stuck at heathrow.

Just got my replacement bull strap case. It’s like night and day better. Actually feels like leather. New cases say made in China. Maybe they went back to original source? Anyway, I’ll be keeping this one.
