I spoke to someone with Ryan London and they agreed and said that that this case wasn’t meeting their quality standards and offered to send me a closed-bottom case which they said would provide a more quality fit.

It sounds like they may have been rushing to get this open-bottom model out as soon as they could.

Even the leather quality didn't feel as nice as their older open-bottom cases. It definitely felt rougher and dryer.

I took them up on their offer and we’ll see how the closed-bottom RL case is.
Thanks for the tip. I just emailed them as well so we’ll see what they say. I agree the leather texture was also not great on mine. I have never had a Ryan London but I was really surprised the leather didn’t feel nicer since many here sing the praises of the quality of their cases.
