I love my Bourbon case. I also have the Ciena contemporary case that is just as premium. The leather on these cases have a more premium feel than the Andar. I also love the open bottom for scrolling and swiping.
I actually returned the case and ended up going with Ryan London as the leather option (still magbak most weekdays though). Slate is a good color, nice choice man!
I prefer the open bottom. When apple was still making leather cases, they were open. I have an Andar that is not open and I don’t like it as much. Think I’m going to give one of these a try.
I'm with you on the open bottom, the older silicone spigen slim fit cases were my first intro to open bottom cases and it's so much easier to swipe up.
@@Paa375For me it’s more comfortable when holding the phone with my baby finger underneath it. I’ve tried cases both ways and the open bottoms are always more comfortable to me.
I’ve had BullStrap cases on two previous iPhones including that Burgundy case. As the case Patinas it will get darker like a very dark brown losing most of the reddish burgundy hues. Drop protection is actually good despite the open bottom, but definitely use with a good screen protector for even more shock absorption.
Totally understand there, but I will say after using an open bottom for a while the ease of swiping up is something to consider... I've moved to the open bottom Ryan London case most all the time and it's a sweet spot IMHO.
