Is the Nomad Modern Leather case for the 17 Pro Max more «pinky-friendly» this year?

The bottom of the case looks thinner from the photos than the Modern case for the iPhone 16-series so I was hoping it was a little more comfortable as I really like that case.

Surprised dBrand Ghost and Grip make so many folks top 3-5 when you can’t use anything other then apple branded charge cable essentially.
I haven’t any issues with the USB C cables I use with the ghost. Most of my cables are the braided type so the ends tend to be wrapped in metal, which I am guessing means they try to use as little material as possible for margins.

Yes, I’m using the burgundy Horween Nomad Modern case right now. No sharpness at the ports at all. They got rid of that chin that was meant for lanyards. Nice feeling case imo.
 
Is anyone rocking nomad sport case in lunar gray? Very few videos and mentions on the internet. I want to know if it's worth purchasing? How's the feel and general impressions of this case? I really like the look of it with silver. Feels like a perfect stormtrooper phone+case.

Nomad Modern case in grey was one of my first case purchase for this phone. I like the feel of the concave TPU sides. The buttons are good. Screen lip is minimal with a screen protector but I like that for swiping gestures. Feels lightweight.

Am I the only one who doesn't like it? Don't like how it feels in the hard and can get dirty.
It’s okay. I’ve been using it since the phone was released but it’s getting grippier to the point where I’m not liking it any longer.

I’m trying to find non-Caudabe alternatives for the base iPhone 17.
 
The grease buildup and lint collection that progressively get worse are a turn off.
Agree completely. I’m thinking about the Beats case but have heard mixed things on grip. I’m also considering Pitaka slim case but I’ve seen reviews mention fit and metal camera ring rattle?
