Because of the assumed increase in price you mean?

Also, wouldn't more spur of the moment purchases most likely gravitate to the less expensive Silicone cases?
Not sure what you mean. I’m saying if they sold Bullstrap, Cretanbull, Andar, etc. cases alongside their own leather they probably wouldn’t sell as many of their own.

To the second point, I’m talking about those that specifically prefer leather.

Shipping to Canada is still $16USD but they never used to charge shipping for replacement products. I did just have to pay shipping for the replacement of my green Ocean case. We’ll see if I also end up paying duty as well…

Not anymore it’s not. This is shipping to Ontario. This changed before Christmas - I posted about it back on the 23rd.

I don’t care if their case it so good that it poops rainbows. That is obscene.

My Bullstrap Ocean has finally arrived.
It’s a bit thicker than Andar Aspen. But the Bullstrap wins with the rough touch (although Andar is full grain leather while Bullstrap is top grain only).
The colour between Andar Navy and Bullstrap Ocean is more less the same. I wish mine is as blue as the one posted in previous pages. Mine is kind of Green.
I guess I will be returning the Andar one.

Nice! What color iPhone do you have?
 
I just upgraded to a 14 Pro Max and got the Apple Leather case in umber since I love the Apple leather on my 11 Pro Max....not a fan and returning it. Which case could get me closest to the look/feel on my 11 case (on left - right is the umber I am returning).

Ahh, apologies then. I just paid $16USD in shipping for my replacement case. I guess they have changed their shipping to Canada unfortunately. That is way too much.

Bullstrap, Ryan London, Andar or Certanbull would all be excellent alternatives. I wouldn’t go with any other brand than these four. I’m a bullstrap fan for sure.

Or check out my Ali Express link a couple pages back for basically a RL/Cretanbull/Bullstrap case for 25% of their price.

Real leather, great fit, strong magnets, clicky metal buttons. Just have to wait a few weeks for shipping from China.

Which model iPhone are those for?
 
here’s a pic in natural light- hard to capture the true colour even here. It is more Bluey green in person. It’s the perfect, subtle colour IMO.

MagSafe is nice and strong. Probably somewhere between the Apple and RL strength.

Now that that out the box smell has died off, the natural leather smell has come through and is great.

Can’t believe after all these trial and errors of testing leather cases over the last 2/3 years and the perfect one is an Ali Express case.

Here we go, a couple of true to life pictures.

One week usage, starting to lose its slippiness now.

Love this case. Ignore the screen protector finger prints 😂

Damn! I ordered one a few weeks ago (Montreal). It was around 16usd to ship through CanadaPost. Anybody knows why now it’s DHL only? 100USD is just too much.
