Just got my Ocean Bullstrap for my 12pro. Like it A LOT better than the Apple Red Leather case. The Apple Leather case looks, and feels a lot more artificial that previous years. Ive owned 3 generations now.
It feels like they’ve added an extra layer of protective coating or something... and the leather is a bright, artificial looking red. I have a feeling they don’t want the color to change/fade on the Apple case. Even though enthusiasts like a natural patina, the average consumer probably does not. I still like the Apple case, but would chose the Bullstrap 9.5/10 times.
Bullstrap feels great after you break it in for a day. Hopefully the durability long term is good too. Really like the bottom cutout, makes the phone nicer to use, and feels better swiping up for sure. I was constantly removing the Apple Leather case from my phone cause sometimes I can’t stand the way it feels. Apple case gets sticky-ish, and rubbery... best way I can describe it.
Here’s photos of my Bullstrap, and one pic of the Red Apple case. The blue on the Bullstrap becomes a brighter color in brighter lights, very classy tone.
