The Minimalist Case - Ocean -IPhone 16 pro max
Price- The price of these cases always made me second guess. This is really and truly an exceptional case. They are a bit pricier than some brands, but don’t let that scare you. You get exactly what you pay for. The quality is what sets them apart. Know you will be holding a substantial piece of real leather, not just a flimsy film over a TPU. I took advantage of a “try us” promotion and got a crazy good deal. I would buy full price again though, easily.
Durability- I am a firefighter. I kept this phone in my pocket on duty, tossed it around a little more than I should have, and it took it like a champ with little wear and tear. The leather develops a very nice patina regardless of the color you choose. Any scuffs and scratches wear in nicely and hide due to the high quality leather. The open bottom makes screen use much nicer than other cases.
Protection- Understand this is not a thick, overbuilt, super rugged plastic sarcophagus. The minimalist version I have does have an open bottom. However, as stated, this phone case was put through the wringer with me and held up very well. It took light drops, being tossed around, and protected my device well- with no damage to the case either.
98% of people will be fine with this level of protection.
Presentation- It will speak for itself upon delivery. The packaging, all the way to how the case is presented IN the box is high quality. You can see the level of care BULLSTRAP puts into their product.
Overall- I have tried almost every brand and case you can think of. This ranks at the top of its category. You are paying for a high quality product that will last for years if you keep your device. I normally change cases every few weeks but have stuck with this one and don’t see myself changing. It checks all the boxes.
