For me it’s exactly the other way around, I was specifically looking for a case with this cutout as I find it way easier to do the bottom-to-top gestures with this cutout on my trusty old X. Funny how people are different.
Bull strap cases are more money almost $100 where I live it’s about $20 more then Apple case. Bullstrap needs to close the bottom of the case just like Apple did that might give it more of a tight fit. The cases smell amazing very high quality no doubt
Alright so I actually own all three: bullstrap, nomad, and Apple leather cases. BULLSTRAP IS THE WAY TO GO. It is by far the best feeling leather. Nomad and bullstrap are your only options if you want something similar to saddle brown on your 13-series. Nomad feels like a leather sticker more than thick leather. Apple’s is good but doesn’t feel like 100% genuine leather like Bullstrap does. I’m very happy with it. I don’t drop my phone so I actually prefer the bottom lip cutout.
yes they’re expensive but there’s always a sale and discount codes and or free shipping. My grand total came to $61.80 which is cheaper than Apple and Nomad after shipping and taxes.
@Curtis Zackery I don’t remember and it’s also expired at this point so I do apologize for that. I also have the upgrade my comment - I’m not happy with this case anymore and received a refund. Their leather is ok but I prefer Apple’s. Their MagSafe magnet is only HALF. They do this to cut down on costs and expect you not to notice. I was able to test it out. Too unreliable for me as I keep my MagSafe wallet on my at all times. I recommend going straight to Apple and specifically shopping on their Amazon site as that’s where you will find discounts as they become available (just always look out for them)
Amazed at all the comments regarding the cutout the bottom. It actually makes the phone look great and may help with audio as well. I've had other cases with a cutout at the bottom and they were fine. If you are that much against the cutout you probably should get something bulky like an Otterbox and have your phone disappear in it. I actually like to use pouch cases but this case looks like it's well made
The cases look great. I do like how the case is bottomless (butt of phone hanging out as some would say). Definitely expensive and they're still on backorder. Nice pick up.
Love the Bullstrap cases but I found that the MagSafe is a bit weak on these. It's fine if you're using something like the Belkin 3-in-1 MagSafe charger it'll hold up just fine. Where I found the issue was using a MagSafe car mount. I don't drive like a maniac or anything, but I find that this case falls off my Belkin mount way more than any other case, and honestly it's a bit of a bummer. The case is great otherwise.
I have to test that out because I know some accessories have stronger magnets. That Pitaka car mount I have is so solid so I’m going to need to test it out.
Tee, been looking at getting this case for my sierra blue 13 pro to replace my apple one since it’s falling apart. That ocean color is 🔥 do you think the fit is a concern for how much It costs?
I love my ocean case but since it’s patina it now looks black. I also got the sienna and I’m looking forward to the patina on this bad boy! I’d only be concerned if you drop your phone a lot. But the bumpers on the bottom will most likely keep it protected.
I wanted this case badly, but my phone just took a hit right where it doesn’t protect, hard enough to crack my tempered glass protector and cut my apple leather case. Hopefully they fix that in future models.
@@GaelGamaa I bought a “leather” case on Amazon that feels nice but it turns out it’s faux leather.. I paid full price for my phone, so I want real premium leather and since Apple doesn’t make them anymore I just bit the bullet and ordered the bullstrap on the Black Friday deal. Ordered the dune color for my black 15. Definitely gonna take advantage of that lifetime warranty. I wonder if I can swap out a different color if I’d like.
I have bought the apple leather and the nomad and this is my favorite leather case. It’s really nice and the buttons are alot nicer than nomad. The nomad you literally don’t get any leather. I don’t know why more people are giving this case a try. I have the ocean!
My experience I got a fat tear first day after dropping it outside so threw it away right as i got it :/ looks so nice but isn’t made to be a case. My fingernails were even able to permanently scratch it
It's going to cost more rightfully so ! Premium thicker leather. The dark back variations is fine and normal with finer quality leather and overtime with the higher quality thick leather it may also slowly tighten up more! Especially if around Real dry air, indoors winter or outdoors desert!
@@Frostbite35i it’s beginning to patina, the dye they use to color the case is high quality. It does not rub off at all. The power button & volume buttons are beginning to darken & patina first which is expected. You won’t be disappointed.
I have one as well and I too like the bottom cut out, these are well made and real leather without a doubt.Bullstrap also has lifetime guarantees on their products another plus for me.
@@vascularviet I hate the stainless steel so f'ing much. It does scratch so easily. Fingerprint MAGNET! Ugh. Next year I'd opt for the lower tier iPhone, but there won't be a high refresh rate screen. I definitely want that now that I've been using it.
@@TechnicallyTee I agree! I find it easier to use gestures, but the lack of scratch protection always scares me. Btw I've been loving your case videos as I have just gotten the new iPhone 13 pro max and been looking for that perfect case.
The natural appearance of the case comes from the "full grain leather". It's probably a rubbed oil finish. Apple cases look like "pleather" (fake leather or polyurethane-coated leather), and we all know they're fugly. The Bullstrap leather looks amazing, but the craftsmanship seems to be lacking. Look at the corners around the "booty" and around the raised camera lip - the leather hasn't been fully burnished, resulting in wrinkles and areas where it doesn't seem totally glued-down. for 80-bucks backordered, this case should be impeccable. It's not. Nice review, as usual.
I’ve always been intrigued by these cases. When it comes down to it I have always given my money to Apple. 😭 On my next phone will consider Bullstrap but wish they also made one without the bull logo. Clean leather similar to Nomad
I remember being super pumped about this beautiful case. The first day I accidentally dropped it on a uneven brick floor and it got a massive tear in the corner. Completely ruined the slick look with a torn flap hanging out. Decided to test it a little after that and even your fingernails leave permanent scratch marks. Always prefer fake plastic leather after that experience because its just wayyyyyy tougher :/
think the booty being out really killed it for me, loved the colors but yeah, dont trust that bottom lip being exposed , gives me a cheaper feel on the case , wow what a waste of materials imo,
Super helpful. Thank you! Not sure I am an outlier but I feel the bottom cutout helps make it look and feel less bulky
That bottom cutout is a deal breaker for me :( the leather on this looks amazing, way better than most of the other leather cases out there.
Yeah the leather looks so good on these. Bottom cutout hurts though.
For me it’s exactly the other way around, I was specifically looking for a case with this cutout as I find it way easier to do the bottom-to-top gestures with this cutout on my trusty old X. Funny how people are different.
For me too but in a positive way. I prefer the bottom cutout
Bullstrap looks better than andar ?
My eyes are on Bullstrap. Once they make a case where the cutout is gone, it will be mine. Love it.
It’s dope to see people interested even with the high price tag.
Bull strap cases are more money almost $100 where I live it’s about $20 more then Apple case. Bullstrap needs to close the bottom of the case just like Apple did that might give it more of a tight fit. The cases smell amazing very high quality no doubt
Yeah if it closes the bottom up it will for sure help with the fit. Yeah that price points really needs to help the case check on all points.
Love your reviews!!
I know you’ve tested most of the colors. Which do you find was your favorite? Which would look best on silver?
That brown case is my favourite type of leather colour it’s very modern😁
Always looks the best.

But which one looks better ? Is bullstrap better than andar ?
I got the bourbon color to pair with my sierra blue 13 pro and it looks 🔥. Kind of close to the dark cherry/ sierra blue effect.

That weathered leather look is dope
Yep and that’s the word I was looking for.
Does the 14 pro case fit the 13 pro? Are the buttons close enough?
The cases look great. I do like how the case is bottomless (butt of phone hanging out as some would say). Definitely expensive and they're still on backorder. Nice pick up.
Yeah mine were in back order for a few weeks. Hope they start getting some in stock though.
This was a really nice review and gave me the information I needed about the Ocean color. Great video.
Are the buttons on the inside of the case covered with felt? To prevent scratches on the iPhones buttons?

I have an esr halo lock mount and it works great so far with my Bullstrap
Another dope review Tee but with the bottom exposed and the price more than apple I don’t think it’s worth it 💯🇮🇪😎
Thanks much appreciated and yeah I understand that for sure. Hard prices
I have the Senna and it’s perfect for my 13 ProMax Graphite. Many thanks for the review.
Dope! Thanks much appreciated!!

Also used your link to the website. 79.00 dollars. Most Definitely worth every Penny! Man You keep adding to My Shopping List! Well Done!
This was great! just what I needed. thank you!
How does this compare to andar
Really nice case but I hate that the bottom is opened 😭 love that brown color
Yeah that bottom hurts for sure.
If you don't have the case fully covering the phone with cutouts and covers for your buttons, it is not a case worth buying
Does the Bullstrap cases also have decreasingly small lips when it goes down to the bottom?
I wanted this case badly, but my phone just took a hit right where it doesn’t protect, hard enough to crack my tempered glass protector and cut my apple leather case. Hopefully they fix that in future models.
Yeah that’s one thing about these cases. They aren’t going to protect all around and that’s the risk.
Just copped it. Best leather case I’ve ever owned
How’s it holding up?
@@HanginWithTy it’s holding up amazing! I haven’t seen any scratches or drop ware on it. It looks beautiful
@@GaelGamaa Bet, I just got mine in the mail!

just bought one can't wait, was bothered by the bottom too but tbh i like the shiny finish of the iphone
The pattern or whatever it is on the back has ended up allowing for an awesome looking patina on my case
O yeah I can imagine that without a doubt.
Where can one find a video for the MagSafe accessories you used in this video?

Nobody wants a random bull logo on their case
Have you tried the rebel cases for iPhone 13 pro max?
Is it as scratch resistant as the leather case ?
Please review the Andar Aspen Leather case. $30 less than bullstrap but it looks good quality as well. Great review!
I have to see about those cases because so many recommend them. I'll check them out.
@@TechnicallyTee looking forward to it!
Andar looks better than bullstrap ?

Me again about my Mujjo Leather case 🤓
Speaking of the smell, it didn’t come through strong until it had regular use.
Great review as usual 👏🏼👏🏼
That smell is something serious.
Hey I just bought the mujjo case recently. Can you elaborate on what you meant? Thank you.
@@Frostbite35i it has a great leather smell! Not overbearing but let’s you know it was money well spent 👍🏼
@@justdave7529 does the case patina at all or just get paint rubbed off?
@@Frostbite35i it’s beginning to patina, the dye they use to color the case is high quality. It does not rub off at all. The power button & volume buttons are beginning to darken & patina first which is expected.
You won’t be disappointed.
Ok that Ocean Blue is 🔥🔥🔥 💙
Yeah I love that color. It’s just right.
Wish it didn’t have a bottom cutout. Definitely keeping me from ordering one
I like the open bottom and their logo on the back but its too expensive imo
What black wallet is that ? I don’t think I saw the review for it
Looks excellent but I can’t stand the cutout! I’ll stick my genuine Apple one for now..
Tee do you plan on doing any more case and accessory review for Android?
Yep especially when that S22 Ultra or whatever it’s called drops. It won’t always be iPhone.
Nice cases! Blessings on your day.
Thanks Jeff!
Those are some beautiful cases call me crazy but I like the bottom cut out
Yeah some people do like it. All personal preference.
I have one as well and I too like the bottom cut out, these are well made and real leather without a doubt.Bullstrap also has lifetime guarantees on their products another plus for me.
I went with the blue jay apple case as the go to case on Serra blue 🔥
Also if needed cleaning might be able to use leather or saddle soap liquid or bar!
I don’t understand why the bottom has that cutout. Andar is the same way and I have no clue why!
Yeah I never like the bottom cutouts.
That bottom cutout is exactly why I will not buy their cases. That's a huge NO in my book. Especially because of the stainless steel on the iPhone...
For real! It scratches so easy and I’m scared to scratch my sierra blue stainless steel on the bottom
@@vascularviet I hate the stainless steel so f'ing much. It does scratch so easily. Fingerprint MAGNET! Ugh. Next year I'd opt for the lower tier iPhone, but there won't be a high refresh rate screen. I definitely want that now that I've been using it.
Yeah that’s the downside for sure but I’ve seen some comments where people like it. All personal preference I guess s

Yeah this is another solid option as well. I do like how Apple protects the bottom though.
Hey tee you still have one of these you wanna sell?
Try Nomad bro you’ll thank me later! Great video, that ocean leather is 🔥
O yeah I’ve been had nomad cases on the channel. It’s up there to for some of my favorite cases.
new top 10 iphone 13pro and pro max case bro. badly need it.
It’s coming it’s coming lol
@@TechnicallyTee thanks. i just want what ever you recommend man, your reviews are just dope, no words can describe it man, keep it up.
For that price I’m not sure I see their justification for leaving the bottom wide open. Looks amazing otherwise
It’s a feature, IMO. I like the swipe up from the bottom better when it’s open.
Sure getting this 🔥
This case is legit !!! It’s pricey but the quality is legit. Is this best leather case have your reviewed ?
It’s up there but man I still like that ESR leather I reviewed earlier this week.
@@TechnicallyTee i saw that review as well but pebble leather I’m not fan of but $79 that’s pricey just like UAG monarch Kevlar
Ah.. i feel excited before seeing the bottom cuttouts, thats a dealbreaker for me
Yeah I know some people care for it and others don’t.
That price is crazy! Not like it’s a label! Hell not even Coach cases are that much lol then my booty out too! My booty only should be out at night 😂
Tee where is your 13 pro in the beautiful blue?
He traded it in for the graphite color.
@@jorgealvarado93 graphite is the best colour Im sure it was mentioned in one of the videos just have t got to it yet. Next year 14 pro for me
You ain’t got lip on that phone bro.. haha just messing .😂

I gotta get it asap
These are the best leather cases, sienna reminds of the old apple saddle brown before apple ruined them
Yeah Bullstrap makes some solid cases. You have to pay for them no doubt but the quality is there.
Dope cases more style then Apples great review 💯
Yeah just a little more flare. If the bottom was covered up it would be perfect.
Try the Andar leather cases!!
Yep people have been telling me about those. Have to see if I can go order some.
I second this! The Andar is very high quality as well and it’s about $45
I love open cutout at bottom ..😎
Hey hey hey keep it clean! 😂😂😂
🔥🔥🔥🔥
💪🏽💪🏽
🔥🔥
think the booty being out really killed it for me, loved the colors but yeah, dont trust that bottom lip being exposed , gives me a cheaper feel on the case , wow what a waste of materials imo,
