Despite initially not liking the rear design of the luckycoin/ bullstrap for the 17 Pro I still ordered one as it was on offer and I have to say, it’s the most comfortable in hand case design I’ve used this year!

Unlike the Andar the rear edges are curved to match the device rather than squared off.

So I think I can overlook the lack of camera plateu cut out as it’s so nice to actually use.

I don't know, it still looks so weird to me

Is there any open bottom leather cases from Europe? Except my fav Wiiuka who have that ugly covered paleau design this year:/
 
The half of the plateau being covered up like that weirds me out. Also for people that likes to show they have the latest iphone this case defeats that purpose I reckon as it looks like older iphone models in this type of cases

I recommend lonli edition in that case or one of the metal camera ring cases if you can deal with that.. I don’t like metal camera rings

I understand the sentiment but for the price and considering the quality of the leather I don’t mind it that much. Plus in black looks pretty stealthy but yeah I gotchu

I am hoping that the changes mean a better product than being sent a rushed product. Maybe the initial batch arrived in Texas and after their inspection, they didn't like something and that could be better for us.
What if, and crazy thought here, they were just honest with their customers from the beginning instead of lying and delaying this long. Sending tracking numbers weeks early with no product to ship.

Just insane communication choices being made by whoever is in charge at BlueBonnet.
 
I didn’t buy many tan cases for my 15pro but of the two I got the Keyway was definitely closer to the Apple saddle brown, at least for the 11 series. The lucky coin has more of a red hue. What’s really crazy is how minimalist the Apple leather case was. It weighed less than 21 grams and added very little bulk. I know cases got heavier with addition of MagSafe magnets and camera rings. It also has a much lower lip than most of the leather cases I’ve tried recently. I really miss this design. It’s so much more comfortable in hand with the rounded sides and the open bottom with the lip in the back of the phone so it doesn’t dig into your pinky while using one handed.
I added some leather conditioner the other night and it’s soaked in now and the leather feels amazing.

That's what I don't understand haha. I ordered one last week knowing it would take longer, but it says it's in stock, and shipping is 3-5 days. My tracking still just says "order received", no tracking, and no communication when I asked what the status was. Just wild choices by them.

Anyone have one of the YMW crazy horse cases from Ali Express? I just ordered one for the 17 pro, to good of a proce to pass up.

I haven’t had a leather case in several years and I’m pretty pumped about moving back in to one.
 
A couple of pics of the Nomad Traditional Leather Case for the iPhone Air. It just arrived today, so I don’t have much to share other than a couple of first impressions: it weighs 34 grams, the fit is very good, and the leather smells and feels excellent (better than the Andar Aspen IMO). Looking forward to seeing how it goes…
