Ordered a black Bellroy, looks like they have more leather up the sides now, still PU edge which I don't mind, has action button now. Could be another Amazon return lol. Although I like their leather have had the wallets for years.
Daughter has the black card case, gets knocked around and is holding up well.
Will see.
I got my eye on a couple of leather cases. I’m leaning towards the Andar in camel tan. But I might wait until the Bullstrap comes out with closed bottom.

Anyone with an Arc Pulse also using the WSKEN screen protector? I want to get the WSKEN but worry it will be too edge to edge for the Pulse.

@TechnicallyTee what screen protector are you using?

Torras Diamondshield with mine. I have a Flolab ONETIME PRO NanoArmour 3D that I need to swap to at some point, so I'm glad to hear that one is fine too.

I would avoid andar unless you want color coming off of it after a few months and staining everything. Their customer service is also trash.

Hopefully bullstrap will have a sales again or a good discount as their cases are pretry expensive. How did you get such a good discount on yours?

I’ve been using leather cases for years and had a good bit of rewards points for my latest purchase. Keep coming back to BS every time..

Yeah it’s a bad look continuing shipping with the known issue. Given they seem to only sell online I wonder how much volume they get from non loyal fans.

To be fair to Caudabe, it’s only a “known issue” to case addicts like us (and even then it’s not an issue for some of us). To normal folks, they’d probably never even notice.

And to be clear, I’m not defending them, as the imprint that occurs is something that should’ve been caught during their design and testing phase, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s not something that bothers me.

I’ve been using their cases for years and I’ll continue to happily use them, because I’ve yet to find another brand that has a case with the same fit and feel that the Sheath does. I just wish they’d get a little more adventurous with their colors (and NOT red).

Looks nice except for the camera ring and the “better by design” text.

I like the action button.
The picture makes the text on the camera ring look a bit more obvious than in real life. The actual ring itself I like, I prefer them like this than leather, that's what's put me off a Bullstrap, just don't like how the camera ring looks. Each to his own.
This is the color I wish Andar’s navy looked like! I like that it is purely blue and not blueish-green
Exactly what I thought! I have the Andar and after a few day's use that's what I started to think about it, which is what sent me hunting and found this one.

How do you feel about using TORRASs? I'm also thinking about changing another screen protecter for my phone soon. Or someone can explain to me the pros and cons of WSKEN and TORRAS?

I’d be curious to know if the MagSafe indent (aka c-ring) shows up on your latest copy after a few days. After receiving three copies that were supposed to be fixed, but still had the indent, they’re now sending me a Synthesis. I’d like to eventually buy another Sheath once the indent is finally fixed for good.
I'm curious, what exactly does MagSafe indent (aka C-ring) means?😂 It seems that I miss a lot.

You definitely don’t have to worry about that, the WSKEN cuts off way before the edge of the screen. Not even close to edge to edge with the two protectors I had.

Speaking of Screen protectors, how good are the Apple Store ones? Is the coverage good for being more expensive than other screen protecters? I heard some of the recommended cases here will lift them.

Oh ok must have been a lot of rewards lol. Good to know they give a lot of rewards for being a loyal customer.

Anyone else who’s tried both the open bottom and newer closed bottom Ryan London cases notice a difference in quality of leather? Feels and smells completely different.

The fit is different as well, the newer one fits a lot more like the old Apple leather cases, whereas the open bottom one fits more like a Bullstrap and has that curvature over the lip.

I used Apple leather for a lot of last year which has the plastic camera ring and I’m in a Bullstrap now. Honestly I don’t have a preference between the two because it’s on the back of the phone and I rarely see it. Out of sight, out of mind.

That said, I do really like the black camera rings with the colorful leather cases (Andar in red specifically).
