Surprised to hear you’re on the Apple cases now. You were like the resident Bullstrap sales rep here for a while there. Ha ha.

You mean carved?? I had bullstrap for a bit tho. I just don’t want the bottom open on my case anymore. My 12 pro max had enough micro scratches I don’t want on my 14 😋
My live edge also wore away the silver stainless on my buttons. Discovered that when I went to trade my 12 pm in 😖 so I’m a little reluctant at third party cases. I bought the tb phone so it’s not cheap.
I hate why I buy a case to protect my phone and it ends up damaging it. I had a brown Decoded leather case on my white XR and it stained all the attention bands a yellow orange color.
😱 omg. No way! Yeah no thanks on that!! How awful it did that.
I always used apple cases before. Bullstrap and carved were my only deviation over the past two years but I can say apple cases always fit and feel the best. So just sticking with what I know
Does anyone have any recommendations for pairing leather cases with a product red iPhone? I was planning on picking up a 13 mini and thought that might look good in a golden brown case once it acquires a nice dark patina, but now I'm wondering if I should just get midnight or starlight.
If you’re going with an Apple case I’d go with the Midnight. The golden brown won’t patina unless you strip the coating and even then it’s not great. Also not sure how well dark brown would go with Red. Black and red is always a good mix.
Pictured next to my navy decoded as well.
Couple weeks with my BS Sienna. It’s feeling very grippy now. I work outside as a bellman so it’s a lot sweat and touching things all day. So it seems faster than most i think.
What is going on with Bullstrap lately? The shipping prices have somehow gotten worse, shipping to the UK or Canada I get a cost of $100 USD JUST for shipping. Add the price of the case, and I’m spending more than the lovely Apple leather folio cost back in the day.
Gonna have to go with Ryan London or Andar I guess.

Someone was just commenting on that a few pages back. I will see if I can find the post, I don't know if they looked for or got an answer though.
Read through, also contacted Bullstrap. They said shipping is handled through a partner, and nothing they can do.
Will just go with Ryan London when I’m back home in the UK, really odd from Bullstrap!
Damn that midnight apple case looks so slick. I’m itching to get another leather case but I want this Andar to age like fine wine first.
They politely told me to **** off after 5 days with customer service.
They offered me 10% off though.
Incredible.
I’ll order from Ali Express before ordering from them again.
If you’re in Canada it’s cheaper to order your Bullstrap through Amazon if you have an 11,12,13 series. I just got a Sienna for my 11 for $62 Cdn including shipping and duty. Would have been over $200 with Bullstraps insane new shipping prices to Canada if I purchased directly.
Honestly just the few I posted a few pages back. My case is about three weeks old so it’s just softened up and feels really good! The midnight is a great color
Any tips on how to get the cases grippier (Aliexpress leather kind of like bull strap Ryan London etc).
I love the case but it’s still pretty slippery. Is time the only thing that will help or is there a leather treatment that could speed up the process?

Just with use - It only took a week or so of usuage for the slippiness on mine to go.
It's not sticky now, but grippy
