Reviews

"Got this version as a replacement for the release version of the iPhone 16 Pro model which was just OK and I have to say the replacement is his hands down one of the nicest cases I’ve ever owned! Fits like a glove, the leather is top-notch and all of the buttons and cut outs look and feel great!!!"

Chris (5/5)

Amazing Case as Always 17 Pro Max

"I have been using Bullstrap cases for several years now and the case for the 17 pro max is an amazing case! The cut out for the camera is great and shows off the phone while offering great protection. The way it patinas is great too and with the warranty, you’re covered all the time. Can’t wait to see whats next will always be big advocate"

Rich G. (5/5)

Recommended purchase for leather aficionados

"Leather is best quality, smells great and will patina with time . Expensive and pricey yes, but for an investment of a quality leather, this is justified and will get beautiful over time ."

Syazwan Z. (5/5)

Happy

"I had an issue with requesting my free replacement case, but I emailed the team and Vance made it right. I like the newer iPhone 16 Pro case as it no longer has the cut out on the bottom making it more comfortable to hold. The beautiful leather is great on the hand."

Nicole C. (5/5)

The best phone case

"The best leather case! Absolutely loving it! Great magsafe quality! I will definitely buy this case for my next iPhone! Only downside is that I paid a lot for the custom clearance here in my country almost the price of the case but it’s worth it!"

Thiru V. (5/5)

"It needs slightly more of a raised surface on the screen side so you dont crack your screen protector as often when dropping the phone flat on its face, also I only have 4 cards in the wallet and when its magnetized to the magsafe part on the back of the case it does’t grab snug, like its lifted on the bottom and not flush with the case like it should be, otherwise, great product very well made and I am satisfied."

Jayson (5/5)

Fits phone perfectly and is holding up.

"Awesome case. Yet to use any customer service, but overall a great experience ordering, Definitely hope they stand by their product like they say, cause the lifetime warranty is the best I've seen, and if so, they have a customer for life. Case fits perfect and the texture is great. Leather seems to be holding up nice, and just changing color slightly. Would recommend and buy again."

Benjamin G. (5/5)

Excellent case

"Ever since Apple decided to discontinue their leather iPhone cases, I've been on the lookout for a good substitute. Enter Bullstrap. Nicely crafted, high quality materials, and excellent color options. Easily superior to those Apple cases. Highly recommended!"
