Any Nomad traditional Case owners or anyone ever have used traditional and modern. I can see the difference. Wondering about actual use. Maybe get this year.
I just received my nomad modern in burgundy horween. It’s my second of these cases, I had one for my 12pro; they’re quite unique, very well built and feel great to use. I thought I’d hate the rubber sides but I don’t; it’s subtle, solid and really tactile; and the leather is really nice too.

I'm gonna try the arc pulse and if it ends up being good, ill prob just stick to that whenever I get a new phone rather than a full case. Phonebacks were my first choice, but it seems like a lot of them have problems this year, especially the clear versions.

Different folks different strokes…Can’t wait for my Sheath that cover the camera plateau!
I won’t even buy a case for the air that has the plateau exposed. The main reason I’m returning the Air bumper. One wrong drop and it’s over for the camera area.
 
One of the things I like about Amazon (or even physically going into Best Buy or an Apple Store) is just being able to "try on" cases and keep the one I think looks best.

I'd like to order the Caudabe Sheath (Precise), but I cannot decide on the Black or Blue case. I have the Blue iPhone 17 Pro. I just can't tell from their photos which would look better on my phone, in my hand, under the lighting at home or work, etc.

Is it a bad idea to order both cases, see which I like the best, and then return the other to them? Has anyone else here done that before? I know they have a 30-day return window, but I'm not sure if they consider "testing" cases like that against any rules.
 
Bought the clear UAG Pathfinder because I have always loved the look of this case, even though I wanted to boycott them until they add a camera control button. Last year was slightly understandable that they didn’t add it, but this year it’s just lazy and cheap to not add the CC cover.

Anyways, I received it from Amazon yesterday and put it on my phone… holy cow has their QC gone down hill. When you look at the screen, there is silver iPhone showing here and there all unevenly. Just all around a lazy/sloppy attempt at what used to be a “premier case brand”. Sending it STRAIGHT BACK.
I will snap a few pictures when I get home to post here showing what I am talking about. It’s too bad because I love the way the clear back looks on the silver iPhone.
Not sure how easy it is to see on these iPad photos, but it’s pretty obvious in real life. Unacceptable for a case that is almost $65 after tax, AND no CC button to boot!

They have a stale and tired design that keeps me away. I loved them when they first came out because they were different though. But now, fake plastic screws holding absolutely nothing together seems cheap and tacky.

Be prepared to wait! Pre-ordered my Sheath Blue first week of September and still no shipping date.

Yeah I hear that loud and clear. On the other side of the coin though, with the silver iPhone it’s got a nostalgic feel to it also.
 
Is anyone having issues purchasing a case from the Apple online store using Apple ID balance?

I tried purchasing a TechWoven case using my balance and it won’t let me pick up in store.
Also even though the delivery is quoted to be tomorrow throughout checkout, the final confirmation after payment says it’ll be delivered in a week.

It seems they’re putting purchases by Apple balance on a different queue.

I purchased another case two weeks ago and this issue didn’t exist.

Having the same issue, have a balance I can’t use… it rejects the payment and the purchase do not complete

I can't pickup at all, even though it's in stock.
I can complete the purchase however the delivery date is pushed back by one week.

I put an identical order through using Apple Pay and I can pick up, or get the quoted delivery date of tomorrow.

They're definitely prioritising credit card payments >>> Apple balance.

It doesn't make sense.
 
Hi guys, I was gifted this case for my new iPhone 17 PM in Cosmic Orange but not sure it is real. Apologies in advance for some of the photos, not best lighting.
