The BS doesn't feel as dry, but it's still pretty dry haha. The LC has less of a lip around the screen of the phone, which I really like. I'm also a sucker for the more reddish tone it has vs the Sienna. In my very unexpert opinion, they're pretty dang similar in most regards, except for price lol.

Speaking of, I had enough points from past purchases to have $40 off my next Bullstrap order. I combined that with their 20% off sale to snag a Contemporary case in Ocean for $35. Yes, I have a problem lol.

Yeah, that’s kind of been my experience, and I agree the color of LC and RL are more red and are absolutely beautiful. That price goes a long way for LC.

Oh man the Ocean is absolutely beautiful! I think that’s the best color other than the browns of RL and LC. Please take some photos when you get it.
 
Thanks for your reply I am going to eyeing the lucky coin for my next iPhone 16 Pro in desert titanium or blue/natural titanium iPhone 15 Pro. Y’all they have two brown colors; saddle or dark brown? I usually have a preference for smoother leather textures like my Apple Watch bands.

If you get a 15 pro, you will struggle to find the LC. The stock is getting low and LC aren’t restocking. Also, if you want smooth like Apple, LC won’t be that out of the box. It’s a bit dry. RL is the only leather case that I have found to be really smooth out of the box.

I almost always go for Saddle Brown.
Thanks, also has anyone heard of MagSafe wallets that can match with it? I also heard about removable iPhone wallet folios which you can also reuse ♻️ the Wallet parts to new iPhones unless if any size or camera changes. Heard of this one from Sena which is now defunct, and was wondering if it can match: https://www.amazon.com/Sena-Full-Gr...0098&sprefix=sena+iphone+wall,aps,295&sr=8-16

Lucky Coin stock is getting dry due to the last minute holiday sale but the 16 series only the saddle brown is out for 16PM.

I said for the 15 Pros. It appears they are not restocking those even after the holiday. You mentioned wanting either the 15 Pro or 16 Pro. 15 Pro you would struggle to get the LC.

It’s true that the LC is a tad bit rough out of the box but it smooths out. I’m four months in and it’s so smooth. Like the smoothest I’ve felt in a while. It’s so reminiscent of the old glorious apple in feel.

Oh for sure, sorry I didn’t mean to say it wouldn’t be soft. Just a heads up it’s a little dry out of the box. Hell even my RL saddle brown was a bit dry out of the box. Only case I have seen smooth like Apple out of the box was the black RL I have. But by your pictures, the LC looks smooth and incredible!

It’s crazy how incredible those Apple cases were.

Just received my black leather Bullstrap closed bottom case. I’ll post more photos later.

Mine is just as smooth if not smoother than my RL open bottom. A little conditioner and 60 days of wear has done wonders.

Darn! Is lucky coin going to be defunct soon?

So will the nomad or lucky coin ones smooth out over time? Do y’all use conditioner like the ones used to polish leather shoes like oxfords? 👞
 
You’re gonna love it! I love mine!! 🥰
I also noticed that the leather on the closed bottom feels much better than the open bottom, could be a variation thing. However this feels very premium. I also ordered an RL case considering how much hype there is around it.

Oh no! It just seems they won’t carry older phone case stock. They will keep stock of the current phone, just as there are plenty of 16 pro cases and pro max. They are probably doing better than ever right now.

Thanks for checking. I did see the Sena company where I used to check out third party leather iPhone cases a few years ago got defunct after selling cases since like the iPhone 3G, that one has been around so long until the 15 pro came out, and when you told me that lucky coin iPhone case stock for 14/15 models are going away I was like surprised as lucky coin has only been around for a year or two and it would be abnormal to discontinue things so soon.

So it seems if you are in the market for anything other than black, you are in good shape with LC. So maybe at least for the time being you could grab a 15 Pro case.

I love for sure, it pairs so well with black titanium!
I have the white titanium.. can you post a pic of it with the black? I was tempted to get a black titanium this year but I tend to regret getting anything other than white. But I’m still curious because it might happen in the future

Lemme know how it compares for you. My husband has RL. He loves it!
