Ryan London saddle brown, 16 days.

Just called USPS. Got an automated system of course that said they have not received the package yet. I then emailed Ryan London again so we’ll see what happens.

My RL order took 10 days to update, accepted on the 8th, arrived in Chicago on the 18th. As of this morning it's showing out for delivery. :D

Looks great!
 
My BS case is out for delivery today. Received the bad batch earlier this month so hoping this one is perfect.

I got mine earlier and easy my favorite of the leather ones I have owned thus far. The color, camera bump, buttons and even the mute toggle cutout are all different than the batch from India. The color actually looks like the Sienna from the website unlike the first version (not sure what color your ordered). The buttons are by far the best of the bunch too that I have used this year. There still appears to be some variations in these "replacement" cases as my case leather smells more prominent and feels different than my buddy who got his last week even though it says "Made in China" stamped on the inside. Hopefully you get a good one and can be done with this whole nightmare.

My rating so far is Bullstrap (revised batch) -> Ryan London -> Andar Aspen -> Apple Leather -> Bullstrap (bad batch).

That makes me excited! I got the ocean color so fingers crossed. Unfortunately USPS delivers super late in my area but I really hope everything is good.
 
Saddle Brown RL case arrived today! First impression, I'm absolutely blown away by the leather quality [feel and smell] and more importantly fit. 😍

I was concerned that the corners would pop out but @Forbin1221 was 100% right about the fitment, feels secure and fits like a glove. Should've taken a photo before putting it on but having a drawer full of test devices helps.

Can't wait to see how it ages!

My RL finally made it to Chicago. It must have taken the scenic route! So the next question is how long will it take to travel about 4 hours to my house. Did anyone else’s go through Chicago?

Looks awesome! Makes me want to get one. I just got a black one last week. Wonder if they will have any kind of holiday sale?

Mine went through Chicago as well. Arrived in Chicago on Saturday and was delivered today.

Best guess would be Wednesday, maybe tomorrow? Likely depends on how many other sorting facilities it has to go through.

That saddle brown with the space black looks gorgeous. I can just imagine the leather smell is intoxicating. I can always count on this thread to get my leather porn fix in :p
