Can you share some pics with both side by side? is Nomad much thicker than the Keyway?
Im still trying to find the perfect leather case, returned one clay Decoded due to a production defect and now I want to test other cases. My eyes were on Keyway but its pretty hard to import it in EU as we discussed and I dont think its worth the hassle.
I got a cheapy no brand leather one delivered to me from Amazon today and I like it a lot. Feels really good to hold as it has that slight tackiness to it to aid the gripping of the Pro Max.
Only available in two colours , black or white. I went for the black one to go with my Black Titanium phone and it looks really good.

I got an email back today and they are sending me another case. They asked for more info on what leather treatment I used and how it was applied. I usually only do 1 treatment but since the case was scratched up some by my 6 month old I decided to do a couple more treatments to heal it up quicker. I think this time I will be more careful about applying it close to the X. I also live in Arkansas so the humidity is really high here so not sure if that could have had an effect. Either way I’m happy with the case and their customer service.
Excellent! Happy to hear they are standing behind their product. Fingers crossed you don't run into this issue again.
How does the "leather" feel? I bought one of these and it feels like plastic and just looks like leather. I am not sure what the real leather cases from apple felt like but I can't imagine that these knockoffs from aliexpress are even close.
It does feel kind of like textured plastic, but I haven’t used it very long yet. The real apple leather case on the 13PM had more of a soft feel to it. But the first purple “apple leather” case I got from AliExpress had a weird smell to it and this green one doesn’t really have any smell to it.
Be nice to get a photo of the cow your case was made from, I like that personal connection to my product

Received the Andar with an action button.
I really like this case EXCEPT the button edges a sharp. They are beveled but the bevel is sharp.
This is the same issue I had with the previous case without an action button. I thought maybe I received a bad batch. But now that these buttons are exactly the same it seems as though that’s just the way they are producing them. Too bad because otherwise it’s perfect.
I’m now looking for a case that has the great leather feel and strong magnet of the Andar with nice smooth buttons.
Edit:
I just ordered a Bare Skin. Seems like a comparable case to the Andar. Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint. I haven’t seen it mentioned in this thread. I saw a post from them in another thread that got me curious.

Look forward to hear how you like this. Looks cool. Is that a Pro Max or Pro? I ask because I’d like to know how well the stand supports the larger phone in all positions.
They aren’t great. Here is a pic.

Oof that is an amateur cutout for the speakers. They could’ve at least made it a rounded rectangle to match the usb port.
Multiple pictures have been posted here and they all look like that.
That’s pretty much exactly how the alto leather case looks. They said it was for their lanyard that apparently plugs into the squares. I’m guessing moft sells the same pointless lanyard.
For the Moft Case, they are cut out like that to make room for the optional lanyard. If you've bought the case and saw how the lanyard is attached...it makes more sense. They almost need a version that comes with the lanyard and one that doesn't so it could offer tighter cutouts. It's just a choice they made so the lanyard can sit under the phone, then it comes out under that portion of the case.
Normally this would bother me as well. However, the case is so good for what I personally wanted out of a case, that I can easily overlook it.

That makes sense, and I agree. I don’t care at all about the cutouts because everything else about this case is perfect.
OK, I give up (for a while anyway). Have a Decoded, Mujjo, and the just-arrived Andar leathers. And the winner is . . . Apple silicone, for fit feel, and button design.
