Bullstrap Ocean finally arrived for my Space Black 14 Pro! I’m super happy with the color, fit and finish of this case.
I still kind of regret getting Sienna again this year instead of switching to Ocean. Beautiful color!

In other news, the MagSafe magnets are definitely stronger on this year’s Bullstrap case. I’m already seeing a slight ring imprint on mine after a few days use. I never got a ring indent on my 13 Pro case after nearly a year of use. It’s only a slight indent and only visible at certain angles. Doesn’t bother me but I know it can annoy some people. So, heads up!
 
RL, BS and CB are all the same case from the same manufacturer. There shouldn’t be much difference between them.
Has anyone found this to be for certain?

The minor differences lead me to believe RL and CB are more likely copycats of BS than using the same manufacturer.

Welp, being the perfectionist that I am I’ve decided I can’t tolerate the funky buttons on the Cretanbull so I’ll be switching back to the Ryan London.

It’s like they used two different types on the volume buttons and the leather isn’t properly seated around the power button. I’ve requested a return for the second time; we’ll see if I hear back this time.

Damn. That’s a shame.

BS, CB and RL can’t have the same supplier then, surely?

yeah the cretanbull buttons are weird. i’ll be fine tho haha
 
My two cretanbull cases will be here next week. Hoping my buttons aren’t jacked up and leather is properly seated 🤞
 
I'm waiting almost 3 month for this bullstrap case..i got leather wallet and magsafe wallet for this patience.really worth it..😘
How do you find the magnets in the wallet. Got one on back order. Was hesitant following reports that the Bullstrap magnet strength isn’t particularly good, but took a gamble.
