Wow, that Cretanbull looks so identical to BS!
As far as we know, at least a couple of brands use the same case or case manufacturer, according to people with both Ryan of London and Bullstrap cases. Wouldn’t surprise me that whoever manufactures these leather cases as private label is doing it for more brands. Bullstrap is only a good value if you need the replacement warranty. For those upgrading yearly, it’s not worth it for their unappealing logo and prices.

The problem is that if the phone drops, it is likely to get scratched. I had a case that was open at the bottom and scratched the speaker part of the phone after dropping it. It is almost impossible not to drop your phone these days, so a case that protects the phone is very important!
That is physically not possible on flat surfaces. The open part still doesnt let the phone touch. I can slide my phone on my floor or desk and only the case lip/corners touch the surface. I’m not sure what type of fall or surface you dropped it on, but that’s not a likely scenario.

You would have to pull on the sides and bottom. They feel just as sturdy as my Apple Silicon case. I love them. I’m definitely keeping them. The only problem is with the silicon material, the phone is hard to put in and take out of my pocket, so I can only use them on my day off since I pull my phone out of my pocket at work. It’s hassle to get the phone back in my pocket. Other than that I love them.
They sure look great!!!

Stacey - do the speaker holes in this bumper case line up with the speaker holes of the iPhone?

So is the crimson Caudabe Sheath for the Pro Max just permanently out of stock or what?

Really good point! I find the Cretanbull logo looks way better! I upgrade every year, so I’m not too worried about a warranty.

Screen protector recommendations please!

I got the LK kit. And it’s amazing how it gets the dust off and installs perfectly but on both of them it’s come away from my phone after a few weeks. And when that happens it’s all I can see so I need to replace it.

Went for the LK because of the dust removal feature. Any other brands offer that?

Flolab makes the best non-sapphire, edge-to-edge screen protectors, IMO.

Antimicrobial, blue light blocking (no-tint or color shift), black borders, top-tier oleophobic coating and full screen dust sticker.

Anyone still buy from Sena? Last I’ve owned sena was from way back in the iPhone 3G days. I’m looking to get the pouch. If not, any recommendations on a leather pouch?
