Here’s a review on it.


I appreciate the urge and inspirations to expand your portfolio, but Bullstrap is a leather goods company. End of story.
Yeah I probably should have waited to see some reviews 😢

I just got too excited! 🤣 It looked to me similar to the Nomad Rugged by without the big lip around the back, and it was that lip on the Nomad that made me return it. But the FWRD's definitely not a keeper!

I am still searching for my perfect Leather case in blue. I like the Andar, but I don`t like the navy color. Same for Bare.
I like the lonly case a lot for its price but because I am using the popsocket daily, the magsafe ring is strongly present.

I cam across a brand calles UNIQ from Singopore. I ordered the UNIQ Lyden Case in blue after I saw a Video on youtube. It is vegan and not real leather. I received it yesterday and so far I really like it. I like the grey camera ring and button.
The color on the product page is not really genuine. The blue is more like apples Baltic Blue.

Here the product link: https://uniqbetterbydesign.com/prod...-charging-compatible-1?variant=40160474234943

Here the video I saw before:
This looks interesting, could you post some pics of yours?

How are the buttons? And are the cutouts at the bottom OK for resting your pinky on?

I only have my iPhone 12 Mini to take some pictures. I will do some more tomorrow.

The Buttons are clicky and rounded. So no sharp edges. The bottom is ok and the cutouts are not sharp.

Thanks for that, much appreciated. Is it a tight fit? I hate when the top right corner slips off easily. Even my Andar Aspen is prone to it.

Crystal PR Gen5 is here. It's a keeper. Pairs lovely with the natty kit. MagSafe and grip is better than frosty.

Man that looks clean. Great pics. Makes me second guess if I should exchange frosty for an all clear without the MagSafe. Did the natti buttons fit in the crystal just fine? I saw someone say that the titanium buttons are a lil thicker and didn’t fit their crystal pr

That is a beauty. Wonder how easy it scratches?

Claims to be scratch resistant, @TechnicallyTee posted a great vid today...but also you worry too much anyways lol

Buttons seem to be just fine..same tactile feeling. It does have better grip and MagSafe over frosty of sure.

you didn't have issues with the buttons being to tight and not being tactile? i had to take sandpaper and open the button holes slightly to make them work.

I wonder why it has better grip and magsafe since it is basically the same as the frosty but clear.

Phone Rebel have offered to replace my case and said they will also pay the return shipping costs. Only problem is, I have to send the case back first before they send me a replacement...
Wondering if it's worth it?

Thats good That they are offering a replacement instead of a partial refund. Did you have to follow up with them again for them to offer that?

Yea but he has to pay to send it back.
His latest post said that they will pay for his return shipping but he has to send the old case back before getting a replacement according to what in his latest post. I could be wrong.

Yep
Exactly
They will pay for the return shipping, I just have to provide a receipt. However, I have to send the case back first before the send out a replacement.

That is not good and who know how long it will take to get the replacement.
