Just got my BS case and it’s absolutely fantastic. I am so happy with the replacement. It smells fantastic and the leather is top tier.

In other news, my Cretanbull case in the Ochre(Sienna) color shipped, although sitting at label created for the moment.

Just landed my Wiiuka (Germany located) leather case in vintage brown for my 13 mini. Velvety soft and comfortable to hold case.

So for those of you who have the RL and just got a Bullstrap, are there any real noticeable differences? The color of the Bullstrap looks a little more muted to me but that could just be the photo.
 
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?

Thanks! The black Ryan London is next on my list. Would be great to see a holiday sale.

Went through the checkout process for the black case but didn’t order. Hoping to get a reminder email with a promo code, but doubtful.

My RL made it from Chicago to Indy and left Indianapolis at around 11 this morning. It is probably headed to Muncie, which is the postal hub in our area and about an hour from home. Hoping it makes those last two legs sometime before local mail goes out tomorrow morning.

Hope you get it soon. You have waited long enough!

All in all, they are very similar. I can tell very small differences in build quality favoring BS but that's just nit picking. The buttons are also better on the BS. I have the Saddle Brown RL and Sienna BS and you are correct the BS is more muted which is the color I was originally after in the first place. The bad batch of BS cases from India the Sienna color was similar to the darker shade of the RL case comparing it to the new supplier. That being said, if I had to pick only one, no question BS for me. I am tempted to pick up a black BS case with the sale going on.

This is what I was looking for. I cancelled my original order but man with that sale going on I think I'll have to pull the trigger. I just think I like the color better and I plan to keep this phone for a couple of years so that warranty is also a big selling point.

Yea their brown is the one I was after which is why I went with them in the first place before all the issues started coming up and I had to just buy others to use in the meantime. The RL Saddle Brown gives me hints of the Apple Umber case which I am not a fan of. On top of their sitewide sale, use promo code "APPLEWORLDFAMILY" for an additional 15% off stacked on top of the sale already. IMO...its hard to beat that price.

Plus I just realized I had enough points (which I didn't even know was a thing) to get an additional $20 off.

Just got an email from Bullstrap. 20% off entire site.

What's funny is, the exact case I want, 13 mini ocean, seems to be the only model of case out of 50+ iphone cases where the sale does not apply. 😂

That doesn't make a lot of sense. I'd chat with them.
 
Going on 3 days of radio silence from Bullstrap since they sent me the wrong case. I’ve tried their support multiple times. Crazy thing is I could just order the correct case right now with the Black Friday sale for cheaper than I got it for the first time around (especially galling since they refused to give me a discount for all the delays). I think I may just do that and tell them I want to return the other one.

If you do. make sure you use APPLEWORLDFAMILY for an additional 15% off the already sitewide sale.

bullstrap looks like more camel tan from andar. RL is more vibrant and has more luster

Interesting. I thought I had read some pages back that the RL was better than BS. If there is a sale running maybe I will give the BS another look. I have a black RL and am liking it a lot.
