I've seen one person say they asked Bullstrap and say they weren't going to add a button. Another person said they asked and Bullstrap said they were going to. So who knows lol. I hope they add one.

Yeah, I asked that one person who said they were working on a button version for a source, but yet to get it.
I saw the same post. The user mentioned that Bullstrap told them current owners could use one of their warranty claims to get the button version. I'm really interested to see if this will happen. It will have to be a total redesign of the case if they do this.

Probably will take at least 6 months though, complete re-think.
 
This is the Nomad Traditional Leather case in rustic brown and my iPhone 16 Pro Max Natural Titanium after about two weeks of use. I use it both at regular office work but it gets banged up a bit when working at our farm.

It's holding up great with som scuffs and marks added to the beginning patina, and it's a nice pairing with my trusty old Mulberry bag

Just picked up the Andar Aspen in Camel Tan. It looks stunning with my black 16 pro! The leather smells and feels great, and the camera cutout has been better than I was expecting. The buttons are incredibly tactile and I can’t wait to see how it patinas!

🔥 cases! Both are similar design and have a slot for the camera control. Does the Andra case have plastic buttons instead of metal?
 
Le Pelle amazon case in black.
Not keeping it because in the right light it looks brown, not dark enough for me.

RL decided to jump out of my lap while getting out the car. Forced patina :/ View attachment 2435724
My RL just shipped and I honestly had no idea their cases had any sort of branding on the side until seeing this picture. I've avoided most other leather cases due to the branding besides the Apple leather cases. This one doesnt appear too obnoxious though. Love the lasered Apple logo, really cool idea.

Yeah man its pretty small and out of the way, you wont even notice it!
 
no news from LuckyCoin? :(
it's more than 3 weeks since they said they'll release it.
 
subbing to see if a leather case maker adds the capacitive button eventually, hopefully andar eventually as i liked them for my 13 PM

I don't believe we'll see Luckycoin until Bullstrap releases their closed bottom case. Last year, it appeared to be the same manufacturer but without the BS logo. I suspect it's the same this year. We still haven't received official images of the BS Contemporary case, so I think everything will be released relatively close to one another.

Nomad Traditional.
I'm not 100% sold yet. The back leather is really nice, I bet this would age very well.
Gonna sit on it this weekend.

I'll add, buttons are REALLY nice.

New design of contemporary cases from BS have been on their website since pre-order started...

But look, none of the pictures of up close photos of the button area. I am suspicious that these aren’t updated photos. They are all blurred out in that area, which was said to be one of the areas that was fixed to be like the minimalist case.


Nor do these pictures show a camera capture cutout.

The Bullstrap look nice, if not a bit too pricey. I think RL would be around my max psychologically.. maybe on a sale like the 20% that was going the other day with BS.

And I dont like the open bottom that and Capture button, too much exposure
