My Bullstrap also came in today - Bourbon on my natural titanium 15 Pro.
I love the color, and it looks great. Initial leather feel isn't as supple as my Andar Aspen, but it just looks fantastic.
One big problem, though - they completely forgot to install the Magsafe magnets in mine. It will not mount on a magsafe stand at all, and nothing sticks to it with the phone out (even a strong neodymium magnet). I've contacted Bullstrap for a replacement, which I'm sure they will provide, but I'm a little bummed since until that comes I'm going to have to take it out of the case every time I want to use my magsafe stand (which I do every night as my alarm clock in StandBy mode).

The camera bump always looks wacky on the smaller pros. They really need to shrink that down for the smaller form factor. Dune is such a great color though.
Yup I had taken one. Bezels are little thicker than apple but not noticeable in use

I can tomorrow at work if you'd like. Someone did post photos of the exact same case in a black 15 pro max 20 odd pages ago if you'd like to see those instead. My phone and case are the same
Here's their post. I can still post photos if you'd like.
EDIT: Correction, mine is a pro max and theirs is a Pro.

Donbolso iPhone 14 Pro full grain leather case with MagSafe.
I just thought why not? And gave it a try. Looks very promising to me. Color is vintage brown. Full grain leather (very soft!), light, closed bottom, nice buttons and camera ring in black, strong magnet, tight fit, feels great in the hands, grippy. I assume it will patina nicely. And most importantly only 23 Euros (with discount from newsletter registration). As of now I am pretty happy with it!

What the box says is irrelevant. We all know the owner came out with a statement that the boxes were made incorrectly and would all state top grain for the time being until they could fix it. The product is full grain. It's easy to tell when holding it.
Such a weird thing to be obsessed about, too. The case feels and looks great and functions as expected - what the hell else are people looking for in a gd phone case? Hasn’t bullstrap already proven over the years to offer exceptional quality?
So they have had wrong boxes since the iPhone 14s were released? I call bs. They have had a year and entire new iPhone to correct, and yet the 15s still have it. That excuse does not fly with me. Something fishy is going on. I have now ordered a case from Amazon from Bullstrap that was clearly early stock (very dry), and then got one directly from Bullstrap, and both have Top Grain on them. If this mistake was made back when the iPhone 14s were released, there is no way they wouldn’t have corrected it before the iPhone 15s came out. The box had to be redesigned for the 15s, but yet the box still says top grain.
I don’t think it’s full grain, and it’s clearly outmatched by several other cases that are full grain. I no longer trust them.

Um no it doesn’t feel as good as other competitors, see my previous posts of the case I have received. This was what got me questioning the quality of the leather to begin with. So no this is not a case that feels great. Looks are objective.
Did you get charged any extra fees by canadian customs? Or was it only for shipping?
They ship from Canada and I live in Canada so there's no extra fees. That was a big part of why I went with them. It was just the shipping I paid. It just got hung up in their system over the long weekend and pushed delivery back by a day.
I live in the US and it was only $3 shipping for me. Got my tracking number today.
You said it doesn't feel as good as its competitors and I disagree with you as I consider Apple to be a competitor and the Bullstrap case feels just as good as the Apple case did for my 11 Pro.
