nobody is blocked so we can stop mentioning that. It was a 24hr grace period. So nobody from the MR squad got blocked. I’ve been in here for years and I’m not going to just turn my back on the people here who have contributed.
As said on previous post: BLACK.
While I can see the difficulty in returns, you could always just re-pack it and Ebay it, lol! Sure an Aussie would buy it regardless of most defects.
As for price, Apple sold their own leather ones for £60 a couple of years ago, so delivered to Oz for £59 is very good IMO, and they're quality leather.

re. Nomad leather options...
Looks like Nomad's been removed from post #1 on this thread, presumably as news has gone quiet from them. Although I did notice many options seem to be out-of-stock, on their US website at least, so maybe we might see one from them after all. But who knows. 🤷♂️
Yeah, I think so. The Pitakas and their equivalents are very, very nice, don’t get me wrong, but I now prefer to see and feel more of the bare phone. They also provide only the most minimal drop protection, which is fine, but another thing to consider when making comparisons.
The Süti is a beautiful product, but at 38 grams (16PM) it’s too heavy for what it is, and it provides even less drop protection than the Pitakas. I will slap it on now and then for a change, but it most likely won’t be on my phone very much.
That leaves the Arc Pulse. It’s not my favorite aesthetically, but having full access to the phone is so nice, the bumps at the corner make it more grippy than a bare phone (if that makes sense), it provides 10 feet (at least) of drop protection on flat surfaces, and it only weighs 18 grams, which is pretty amazing. No other case (if you can call it that) comes anywhere close to matching that ratio of drop protection to weight. If nothing else, I’m kind of blown away by the engineering that went into it. I would love to have the tungsten carbide coated titanium model, but $300 for a phone bumper is a bit nuts. Maybe for the IP17.
Funny thing is… MacRumors crowd is the bomb! Jokes on them.Yep, they are too hoity toity for the Macrumors crowd
Yeah, I decided to remove Nomad and Phone Rebel for now due to no news for months.

Sure hope they quit beating that dead horse and release some proper cases
Ignore the fuzz, switching to the Ghost 2.0 for a bit. The gen 6 is hard to beat though, I really like the elevated front corners, MagSafe strength and overall feel on the PR.
Will post some thoughts on the ghost after a week or so.
That MagSafe ring on the Ghost brings to mind a question mark, like “How is it now people, do you like it?” 😉
About a week in and zero scratches on the back. The grip is incredible. It’s the only case I’ll be using until Apple drops more colors to the sili lineup.
Man my Ryan London cases have been in my town for 3 days. They were out for delivery finally Friday and I was following the truck on the little map the tracking shows you. And then out of the blue I get a text saying due to weather my delivery is postponed till Monday 😭 I should of gotten in my car and chased the truck
I haven’t taken the phone out of the case the entire time. It’s been the best case for my needs and looks so darn good with the white titanium phone.
