Reviews

Best leather cases available

"These leather iPhone cases are the best available. This is my 3rd case from this brand, and the dark brown leather looks so rich when paired with the burgundy iPhone 18 Pro models. I always bought Apple’s leather cases before they stopped making them. I’m glad they did, otherwise I wouldn’t have stumbled across the Bullstrap brand."

— Nicholas S. (5/5)

Very nice.

"Works. Had a drop took it well, damaged the case a little but the color melds back in making it less noticeable. Not toddler proof, decided to scratch it like a cat and those are still noticeable. Really pleased with how the color has began to set in. Would have loved to get a billfold wallet to match, but not given option."

— Hugo E. (4/5)

Excellent Craftsmanship!

"Tried Bullstrap for my iPhone 16 Pro almost 2 years ago and haven't looked back! If you want a fine-quality, handcrafted leather case for your device, look no further...these are the best! And the warranty can't be beat! Happy to purchase one for my 18 Pro and very satisfied with it!"

— Kevin W. (5/5)

Five stars

"Accidentally put a hole in my 2 year old case that had developed a beautiful patina, by dropping it on its corner. The rough concrete tore a small hole in the corner, but left my phone undamaged. Bullstrap sent me a new one exactly like my old one minus the patina. It’s new and beautiful, but I can’t wait for it to develop its own patina. Kudos to the Bullstrap customer service department, who quickly orchestrated the process of warranting my old case."

— Antonio Z. (5/5)

"I am extremely disappointed with this case. For such an expensive product, the quality is unacceptable. After only two days of normal use, the leather started changing color, and the back of the case developed marks and scratches very easily. It already looks old and worn out. The open-bottom design also offers less protection than I expected. I purchased this case expecting premium quality and durability, but it has been a complete disappointment. Not worth the money. I strongly recommend avoiding this product."

Color surprise- love the protection

"This is my second case , only because I purchased a new model iPhone. The color was different than i expected. But I guess slate does apply to this color . Different than my first one I like the logo on the case that is a nice touch. It definitely provides protection and id buy again"

— Brian H. (4/5)

Best cases I’ve ever found

"Best cases I’ve ever owned. The leather is soft to the touch yet extremely durable, lasting over a year easily. It patinas nicely and darkens over time just the way it should. The open bottom version can show wear on the corners after 1+ year but their replacement warranty is legitimate and makes this a non-issue. Great company!"

— Andrew J. (5/5)

Beautiful Case, Great Quality, and Amazing Customer Service!

"I was lucky enough to order one of the free Blaze cases, and I absolutely love it! It looks amazing on my orange iPhone 17 Pro Max. The Blaze color complements the orange beautifully, and the quality of the case is excellent! The customer service is also amazing. Everyone I’ve communicated with has been very friendly, helpful, and willing to resolve any issues or answer any questions. I highly recommend Bullstrap products to anyone looking for a high-quality and beautiful case with excellent customer service. Thank you, Bullstrap, for the great products and wonderful customer experience. Keep up the great work, and best of luck!"

— Seyedali A. (5/5)

"I strongly recommend avoiding this product. I am extremely disappointed with the quality, especially considering the premium price. After just 2 days of use, the leather case started changing color and already looks old and worn out. The back of the case also gets scratched and marked very easily, even with normal everyday use. This is completely unacceptable for a product advertised as a premium leather case. At this price point, I expected much better quality, durability, and craftsmanship. Instead, I feel like I wasted my money. The case looks like it has been used for months, even though I’ve only had it for two days. Extremely dissatisfied with this purchase! I would not recommend this case to anyone. Save your money and look for a better-quality alternative."

— Babu (1/5)

"Return portal was a pain to use and took way to long. ordered on accident and exchanged for another color but had to wait to receive it as i emailed them and was told to wait and return myself even though it never got further than a warehouse some weeks. also kept getting delayed. Hope the next experience is better"
