Yeah I like the open bottom cases as well. Hard to find though. Few did it anymore.
Got a tip for us?

Will try to find some time to make some pictures tomorrow. It’s getting late here.
Has anyone checked out the 'Belemay' case on amazon? Looks like its real leather. Might give it a shot https://www.amazon.com/Belemay-Comp...l-Fit-Precision/dp/B0CGZT345T?ref_=ast_sto_dp

15 (pro) don’t fit properly in 14 (pro) cases. There is are differences in dimensions… at least when I tried the 15 pro on a 14 pro case. Same applies for max iPhones.
So just looked on the box and it says top grain leather. These are supposed to be to be full grain correct? Maybe the issue with the case.
Wow $80 and not even full grain, what a massive let down. Now that I think about it, do they actually say it is full grain? That could explain the roughness because it is missing that very top layer.
Good thing I decided to order from Ryan London instead, they specifically state it is vegetable tanned full grain leather. Bullstrap has chrome tanned and apparently it’s also top grain.
So the website says the new ones are Full grain and they have 14 pro max ones that are full grain. So I am not sure what is going on, but I don’t trust BS too much.
That’s…. Really odd. Definitely reach out to them. Bullstrap has a stellar reputation and sells a lot of products.
I’ve ordered the navy Andar aspen but I’ve been told by a few forum users of colour bleed onto MagSafe chargers etc. Does anyone else have experience of this? I’d rather not have all my gear stained!

I'm not sure, because you wrote like I have no idea what leather is, no need for mansplaining lol. So yes thanks I know leather. Not on a high level though, I have not handled various leathers myself so my knowledge was/is not too deep it seems.
I had not experienced complete orange turn brown. But I see know since it was naturally tanned leather it was to be expected. I would never buy synthetically colored leather. Only naturally tanned leather for me.
Damn, green looks so good! Which is your favourite? I love the alto but not sure I can get over the cutouts at the bottom….

A question for you leather case enthusiasts: With my current TPU case, due to hygienic reasons, I tend to wipe my phone and case periodically with alcohol wipes or a little bit of hand sanitizer. Is that possible with leather cases, or how do you clean/wipe/disinfect them without negatively affecting the leather?
Wow great photos! All three look amazing! I definitely like the open bottom the best. It so comfortable in the hand.
It looks like horsesh*t around the camera bump. How they melded the leather with the plastic looks awful.
The rest of the leather looks good, but I wish they had a saddle brown color and at least a metal ring around the camera.

Leather does not need to be, and should not be, cleaned with alcohol.
The question is, what is wrong with your hand hygiene?
You’re not supposed to but I always did with my Apple leather cases and they were not any worse than others. I will continue to do it with all my cases.
Really not a fan of the speaker cutouts either. I really like the color, though.
Just stumbled across this case manufacturer. The leather looks good. The fusing/joint between the leather and the plastic camera bump looks very clean, compared to Alto for example. Branding on side only. Definitely on the expensive side though.
