I managed to get my hands on the new Bullstrap Contemporary Sienna closed bottom case, and gotta say it’s a game changer! I love it! I also love my Andar case as well. The bullstrap one is softer, thicker, and a bit heavier in the hand and the Andar one is a bit thinner and lighter. I don’t plan to give it up. Can’t wait for this thing for this Contemporary Sienna case to patina over time. I do prefer the camera bezel metal ring on the Andar. There is nearly no clearance on the bull strap one. looking forward to you to do a review of the new contemporary case, keep up the great work. I love your videos! 👊🏼😎

First off, thank you! I’m definitely grabbing the new Bullstrap case. I love their current style ones so the new closed bottom is going to be even better imo.

@@PatsTech yeah I’ve got the 15 Pro Max and don’t have the biggest hands and find it more comfortable for my digits for sure. And with this one the bezel is low enough towards the bottom, that it offers a pretty good smooth swipe up as you see.

I have the Andar Aspen and am considering switching to Ryan London. The black ring around the camera lenses on the Andar chips over time. I've had two of these cases now and the chipping has happened on both after 2-3 months of regular use (and not mishandling or dropping in any way). Have you had this issue?
@PatsTech8 ай бұрын
I personally haven’t had that issue & I’ve been using the Aspen for almost 2 years now from the 14PM to the 15PM. That’s really unfortunate bc it’s a great case. Maybe check out the Blanc color with the silver camera ring? The Ryan London is really solid though too.
@dan_quiterio8 ай бұрын

I love variation and having choices depending on my mood and my fit for the day. Currently I have the Nomad Horween Modern in Rustic Brown, Grams28 121 in Olive Green Leather, Bullstrap in Ocean Blue Leather, and the Andar Aspen in Navy Blue Leather. I have to say that all are amazing leather cases. And the Grams28 is under rated for sure. Yes it’s a hybrid (leather & TPU), like the Nomad, but the leather is just beautiful and super premium. Overall I loved your review of your top 5, great vid!!
