How does the drop protection compare to TPU+rubber cases like spigen tough armor or otterbox commuter?

Good drop protection, would like more lip but the Torras screen protector I have on is one of the thicker ones.
Have only used it on occasion as not keen on cutouts, plus losing the metal buttons this gen loses a bit of class.
 
They are two completely different animals. I have used the Nomad rugged way more than the Gen 6 rebel. The Nomad rugged is thick & bulky while the Gen 6 is slimmer and more comfortable in the hand. If I had to choose one I would go with the Nomad.
Why do you prefer the Nomad when you say the Gen6 is slimmer and more comfortable in the hand?
 
Beauty is pain, I’m assuming lol. I also sacrifice comfort for a case that I like the look of
Oh you prefer the look of the Nomad?
Many people on here have the Nomad CC button is hard to use. Bare that in mind if you intend to use the button a lot!

I just have always like the Nomad rugged and just find myself using the rugged more than the Gen 6. Less fingerprints and love that it lays flat on it's back with no wobble. I would suggest just to buy both cases and have fun.

re. leather cases.

Interesting how both Nomad and Ryan London are doing pre-December sales of 20%-off, just before they release updated cases with CC buttons from December onwards. :-|

It’s confirmed that Nomad is adding a CC button to their cases? Maybe I’ll wait on the rugged then.
 
Case check. I’m currently fully addicted to skinny aramid cases. What are you running right now?
