Nobody does launch issues like Bullstrap....
Bought the brown Traditional Case from Nomad for my iPhone 15 Pro. Received it today. Really not impressed at all. The lock button fits so tightly against my phone that it automatically fully depresses my iPhone’s lock button. It activates Siri on its own.
This is the third case I’ve purchased from Nomad in the past 6 months and it’s the last. All three of them had button issues. I used to really like their cases and they actually worked.
Sorry for the rant.

I recently purchased a black Ryan London open-bottom leather case. It’s undoubtedly the best leather quality among all the big brands. The leather is incredibly soft, has a delightful aroma, and looks incredible. I am shocked but it’s noticeably thinner than the Bullstrap. The difference is quite noticeable. Overall, it’s an exceptional case, and I believe it’s the clear winner for the 16 series.
very happy Ryan London has a good case this year… Was disappointed that BS was thick this year, I'm glad I have an alternative. Thank you for sharing your photos and I can't wait to get my case in.I recently purchased a black Ryan London open-bottom leather case.

Did you find the camera control button hard to press?I recently purchased a black Ryan London open-bottom leather case. It’s undoubtedly the best leather quality among all the big brands.

We have some good news and bad news. See below…
The Bad News: There has been an unforeseen delay in our manufacturing timeline that means your pre-ordered iPhone case won’t ship until the first week of December. Even as a small business, we’ve had a pretty significant increase in demand causing some of these delays. I know this sucks, and I am personally sorry that we couldn’t deliver on the expected timeline.
The Good News: I want to make this up to you. Here are two options that you can choose from to make this right.
20% Cash back in the form of an e-Gift card.
50% off discount code for your next Bullstrap purchase. (Bonus tip: you can stack that in conjunction with our Black Friday promotion which starts mid-November)
Feel free to just reply to this email with whichever option you’d like, and one of our awesome support team members will hook you up!
Thanks for being a loyal Bullstrap customer,
Claudio Conte, Founder & CEO
I got the same email. I wrote back that I would like to cancel my order. Hopefully they will cancel and refund my money. There are plenty of other leather cases options out there, I’d rather not wait until Dec.
I have the BS open bottom, so I have been using the same CC, and no issues at all.
Tempted to use the 50% discount for an open bottom one.
Any chance of some comparison pics please? No rush.
Yeah it is.
I dunno what to do at this point I don’t want a scratch on my phone so idk about doing any open bottom.
I've been using the open bottom cases for years I've never of had that problem
I know. I used closed bottom too once upon a time but I’d get micro scratches. I just don’t wanna chance it…
I’m debating Ryan London again. Idk. This phone hasn’t been fun between apples horrible silicone colors to this… ugh!!
I used to have an open bottom on my Xs, only 1 tiny scratch, but annoyed me. Contemplating whether to try one again.
I won’t try. I had carved cases on my 12 and 14 series and both times I got my phone scratched because they didn’t have lining in the case. My goal is not to have my 16 scratch- at all. So no risk taking on my part.
