Yeah, hahaha, I just now noticed also. @thadoggfather 's link is $22, my link (that is from the order confirmation email I got) has the $49 price. Sorry.

Has anyone’s $22 bullstrap order been shipped yet? I hope they won’t cancel it because of the mistake or something 🙄

I saw this on slickdeals. bit odd though, I assumed you could find it on website searching but I don't see it in results. Maybe it was a mistake or super limited time thing? Not sure, kinda confusing.

Nope, mine hasn't. I won't be bothered either way tbh.

Yup I totally agree.
Got Tan one coming too.
Sent the brown from earlier back with some feedback. And got exactly what i asked for with this final version.
Thinner camera ring and more clicky buttons.No gap near the usb c port on this one either. Previous one had same gap as Ryan London and other leather cases. Tight fit.

Nomad Horween Rustic Brown after about 8 months of use. Tough to picture, but nice darkening around the edges. Expected a little more on the body but I'm sure that will come with time. Either way, the fit and feel of this case is fantastic. Slim yet protective with great buttons. My first was loose but Nomad replaced without hassle.

👆 That being said, I got a little bored with brown so I decided to try the $22 Bullstrap cases.
I've avoided Bullstrap in the past because of the outrageous pricing and marketing bs, but for $22 these are nice. The Ocean color changes depending on lighting - often its more turquoise green than blue.
And the covered plateau is growing on me.

Still waiting on my Bullstrap order to ship.🙁
@Detonation is that light gray one on the far right their "Slate"? There's currently no other available option that is even close to the one you have.
I ordered only the "Ocean" color; was tempted to order more, but wanted to see the fit/finish of one before getting more.

Yes that is Slate. Here are a couple more pictures in different lighting/exposure. The one I received is definitely not as dark grey as the pictures on this site, but perception of the color does change dramatically depending on environment.
Also, I never got a ship notification for my order, and my order status right now still says preparing to ship. I only knew it was coming because a package showed up on my USPS Informed Delivery, so yours might already be on the way. I ordered 6/23 and it shipped on 6/25.

I wish I had seen this offer earlier. They still have the cases but raised the price to $49. $49 is too high for no warranty or exchanges. At $22 I would buy the ocean.

I posted on here about me getting rid of the Ryan London for my 17e and switching to the Apple silicon case but after using it for a few weeks the marks that the MagSafe charger is leaving on the case is driving me nuts.
It looks cheap and nasty with a dirty dark ring and I expect more from Apple especially at the price of £49.
Really not impressed at all.

What did you expect? MagSafe charging generates heat. Of course it’s going to show the ring at some point especially on a material like silicone. Pretty sure it says that as well on the paperwork that comes with the cases.

So many people complain about MagSafe marks but fail to understand the point it generates heat so will inevitably mark at some point, regardless of material
