Now that you told me, seems that they're still using rubber on the bottom/top of the case.

Its been a few years since I last used a Bellroy. Not sure why but it seems that the leather the use for their Samsung phones is different that what they use for the Apple phones. The Samsung ones seem to patina like normal, but Apple ones peel like the old 12-14 Apple series & Mujjo cases. So I guess it remains to be see which leather they are using on the 16 series. Their cases are similar to the Nomad modern cases but I think Nomads leather has been better.

Sneaky of Bullstrap to have 16 cases available for preorder but using photos from their 15 Pro model. Very interested to see if they'll be doing the whole cutout with the top of the side of the case missing like Andar.

I noticed on the contemporary (closed bottom) they have the new colors available for preorder for the 15s too. I wouldn’t mind a slate one but after owning the sienna and the lucky coin I can’t bring myself to pay $90 just to get the slate. That’s just crazy for basically the same case as the lucky coin

Yeah... unless I have a bunch of leftover rewards points or they make an amazing exclusive color, I'm happy sticking with my Ryan London and LuckyCoin.

Wasn't aware that Mujjo was considered garbage, think I first started using them on my iPhone 8 and this is my third one from them. It saved my iPhone XS when flying out of my pocket when I was on my motorcycle at high speed hitting the tarmac.
But I have to say that this third one for the iPhone 13 hasn't been as good as the earlier ones. They have slowly degraded when it comes to build quality. This one survived 3 years tho.

But Apples own leather case are superior compared to this one, they don't have a credit card pocket tho.

The Dockem case seems slightly better than Mujjo, we'll see how it goes.


Its 3 years old and haven't really been taking good care of it, its has served its time as a protective case quite well.
But as mentioned above, the quality on the Mujjo cases isn't as good as it used to be so will prob look for someting else in the future. The Dockem one seem alright (not apple quality bit close enough) and will have to do untill I get the iPhone 16 or 17.

Any chance you could post a pic of the inside of the new case?
 
Keeping my 15 Pro and just pre-ordered the nomad full leather case (they finally released one!).

I am HYPED for my 15 Pro all-leather Nomad case to show up. I dearly miss their iPhone 7-8 leather cases and I’m hoping this is near the quality of that.
 
I am afraid that most 3rd party case makers are going to have to go the cut out toute due to the r&D needed to make an active button. I imagine that the LC case will look similar as they seem to use the same frame as BS closed bottom case.

Picked up a black Luckycoin for my 15PM as I’ve had a Bullstrap Ocean since launch and have always missed having a case that works with all wallpapers.

Gotta say, I’m pretty impressed. Feels and smells great but I definitely prefer the buttons on the BS.

Welcome to the LC club! I'm about a month in on mine and still love it as much as day 1!.
 
What color iPhone 16 to get that will look the best with the most leather cases... hmmmm.. usually black is my go to, but it's getting a little old now.. hmmmmm

I really like the way the natural TI looks with the leather. I was always a black phone guy also.

Debating getting the 16 pro in black. Not sure what case, but probably the BS minimalist for buttons. The camera control cutout seems the best so far, and then wait and see what LC does. I just prefer the way BS covers the buttons in leather on the minimalist.

Hoping the wife comes around to me getting the 16 pro. I got the Ultra 2 in black, and she’s not real keen on me getting a phone and watch. Although I didn’t get anything last year and she got the 15 PM after just having the 14 PM.

I'm debating on swapping my ultra 2 for the black one.
