Yes, I have it and is nice so far. Much better than Lonli Classic. Not quite as nice a previous full leather Bullstrap case.

wait, so the Edition case does have a button and not a cutout?! So their preview pics are misleading?!

@mac_head, it sounds like you may have rushed with your decision to rule out Lonli (saying $25 is too cheap and that it looks plasticy)... I'm also after the "perfect" leather case (no open bottom, no cut-out, not bulky, etc.), and based on @rstark18's latest comment, it sounds like it just might be the one We'll know soon enough

Are they the same weight? I have the classic and it’s heavier than I like.

Yes, looks quite slim, edges are slimmer than the Lonli and hugged my daughter’s 14+ nicely.

The Lonli(Classic) is nice, looks good, and is very durable( hardly a mark afte several drops), but it doesn’t really seem like leather. 0 patina.

The InUnion seems like it will patina just fine. We’ll see.

This InUnion is the same case as the one I was looking at called Zoof. Zoof is a couple dollars cheaper and I think I may give it a try in red.
 
Ordered the Lonli Edition in black. I admit that the leather is a lot nicer than on the Classic. Smells like leather, even. But it has a cut-out instead of a button, so it's going back. Really disappointed.

I ordered a tan and blue leather case from them. Waiting on it to arrive. I wasn't crazy about the open bottom either but, they have an excellent warranty that Apple can't touch so, I figured I can't really loose. I will just be mindful. My 14 Pro was mint after a year with the Apple leather.

I was really going to give the FW a chance, but I’ve been using it all day and can’t tolerate the bottom cutouts on my fingers, so my two are going back.

I had an Apple leather case on my X and it had the exposed bottom and wouldn’t you know it, it got a chip and it drove me nuts. I promised never again. I do love the case though. Good luck.
 
I bought a Mujjo leather case (in burgundy) for my 15 Pro. I love the color, but don't like the quality of the case. Buttons are too sharp and off-center, button surrounds are raised, and don't like the feel of the leather.

Looking at the Decoded case many others have recommended, is everyone US based purchasing directly from their website? They charge $17 for shipping! Anyone know of any other retailers stocking them? Amazon is showing delivery estimates for late October/early November

Delivered early. Bullstrap leather on Natural Ti 15PM, mag wallet and air pods pro2 (couldn't help myself and had to have them match! 😂). This is the Dune color.
This is my first Bullstrap product, I'm impressed. excellent quality, definitely better than Apple leather, and fits like a glove!

Looks great. Can't wait for mine to arrive. :D I like that Bullstrap gives you discount coupons for your next order. My last coupon was 20% off.
 
Not gonna lie, this case looks so good with the natural TI. If the bottom was closed I would have one in a second. Thats a great looking case!

Yes I ordered from Amazon. Apparently they have some of each? Anyway not going to order again. The Classic that I got has a button, but I don't like the brown with the natural.
