Reviews

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)

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!"

— Craig (5/5)

Amazing Leather Case

"Absolutely love this iPhone case! I have the iPhone 17 Pro max and was hoping that this color would look good with the orange color way and it absolutely does! Leather is nice and comfortable and looks very classy"

— Grant N. (5/5)

Love this case!

"I own both versions of the Contemporary case for my 17 Pro Max and find that I enjoy the covered camera area version the best. Both cases are black, have aged nicely and are great quality. Would definitely recommend either version"

Q&A

Does it have an action button for iphone 15 pro max?
Thanks for contacting Team Bullstrap! The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus have the same open window for the toggle switch while the 15 Pro and Pro Max have been replaced with a button similar to the volume and power buttons :).
Great looking case but don’t see an option for 14 pro max. Same goes for wallet. No comparability with 14 pro max. Any update on when these might be available?
Hi there! We have lots of options for the 14 Pro Max (https://bullstrap.co/collections/iphone-14) and MagSafe wallets (https://bullstrap.co/collections/magsafe-wallets). For the wallet, just select "Fits all other models"!
How do I leave a review? Do not see the optiom for it lmao
Hey there! You can leave a review through our website by visiting the "Rewards" page and hovering over the "Write a Product Review" option :)
On the protection of the phone in case of a drop, what has everyone experienced on protecting the phone?
Hello, Incase of a drop/fall, our cases provide protection all around. If dropped, there is a chance of the case ripping/getting damage, but your iPhone will be protected!
Does the lip around the camera raised up enough so that the lenses do not touch the surface when placed down?
Hey Hyun, Yes!
