Also leather just sucks because if you drop it, it's almost guaranteed to get knicked in a gnarly way. They don't provide you multiple drops unless you're okay with peels on the leather etc. some are, but they bother me personally.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah I’m still kinda ticked about it too. I could get another Keyway for like half price between their repeat buyer club and my Keyway points. But I think I want a little more protection. I got so lucky with the fall that the phone didn’t get damaged. Got me a bit nervous now.
How did u get a replacement for a black case? My slate turned to **** and they didn’t let me replace. The suede feeling is putting me off. Such bad customer service claiming life time warranty.
Moss is such an underrated color for the Andar Aspen. This is roughly a 3 month patina after daily usage.
I sent them photos of the power button that had come away, so it wasn’t just the feel of the case not that I would at all urge you to make your power button come out…
Just bought one since they were having their 20% off sale. Whoops.
Not a phone case, but thought some might be interested...
My black Andar Apollo wallet arrived today - really nice quality and very compact and slim. Can recommend.

They’re going to be restocking their ‘the mag’ wallets in Feb. I’m waiting for those to decide whether I need a new one 😂
The ones with the phone in them are this years, the empty cases are from last year. Mind you last years “after” picture was taken after at least 6 months of use, maybe even a little more.

For me I complained about fast it aged and how it feels like a suede saying it looks great but doesn’t feel great; referencing my 10+ cases from them over the last few years since the release of my 12pm.
Looks exactly like my bare skin leather case. Really like the bare cause it’s so much thinner and lightweight than all other leather cases!
Ok I just ordered one. Never had a Nomad before so I hope it doesn’t disappoint.
I’m not sure I’d attribute it to luck as much as you are. I have used strictly leather cases for quite a few years now and have taken some nasty drops. Not once have I had a damaged phone. Sure, the leather gets damaged but that’s a part of their charm. Leather heals.
Agreed. I used one on my 13 Pro after seeing a friend’s work iPhone 7 in their rustic brown case. They’re really nice. Not to mention they have some of the best buttons in the business. 👍🏻
As mentioned above, that’s the whole allure for leather enthusiasts. It gets nicks and scars that add to its character, just like we do.
Mine is looking similar, loving it so far. This is actually one of the first cases I’ve owned where I don’t care too much if it get knicked or wet. And I’ll say it’s showing the character rather well so far I think. On hard days like i’ve had recently working on my
car I’ll wipe it down with a damp microfiber and then use their leather balm on it.
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, on a side note every once in a while Verizon has sales for certain iPhone cases. I picked up my Nomad case from there for the 15 for only $40 total.
Thanks. I’m in Canada so it’s pretty rare to be around a Verizon store for me. But appreciate the tip.
