Mine had that.
They offered an exchange but ended up refunding and letting me keep it.
Some of the FineWoven cases are like this too; think it's normal
Got a tip for us?

When they offered an exchange, they had no stock to exchange it with - which I pointed out to them. Its then, they just refunded me
This is the response I received when I raised the same issue on Oct 9:“Thank you for your message.
We do not see any problems with this case and therefore cannot send a new one under warranty. If you experience greater inconvenience with the case in the future, please feel free to message us again. The warranty of the case is 2 years.”
I sold the case shortly after.
You'll learn to ignore it over time I expect. My Decoded leather had the same issue albeit only slightly - and that combined with a bit of case OCD sent me onto my chase of the perfect leather case, landing on Ryan London and Keyway.
If you purchased with a credit card that had return protection, you can always go through that process. AMEX at least tends to be pretty good about being on the customers side.
Might as well take the exchange and then see if you can return and be like oh look the tag is still on after all 😂
For the 15 Pro:
Andar - About 37
Bullstrap - About 33g
Keyway - About 35g
I’d say for thickness, they are all extremely similar with the Bullstrap maybe being a hair thicker but it doesn’t feel that way because of the open bottom.
got my email from ryan london today, hopefully get the case in the next week or so, i know @Knowlege Bomb is excited cuz i got the black.
I figured as much, I’ll live with it for a few days and decide whether or not it bugs me enough to return lol.
That new Ryan London with the closed bottom looks really interesting, I’m considering it lol 😂
that's what i got this year, i had the one with the open bottom last year.
Yeah I’m not sure what’s going on there. It could be an illusion in hand feel kind of thing. The Bullstrap is nearly identical to the Ryan London but the leather feels a bit smoother/softer on the RL IMO and no logo on the back.

I’ve got one for a 15 Pro for sale if interested and in the UK?
Don't fret. I never noticed on my Keyway, but I've got the same "air gap" down there just like your Decoded. Like yours, you need to get it in the right light to see it. Before you posted this, I never saw it. So it must not be a big deal as I've be oblivious to it thusfar.. 🤣
Yep, my Keyway has the slight gap too. I think its just because the cutout for the USB-C port is bigger than the ones we were used to on the old Lightning cases to accommodate more cables from third party vendors. It doesn't bother me but I can understand how it may bother some people.
