New iPhone Leather Case

I guess fourth time is a charm. Decided to give it one last go and buy a black one again. This one fits good. Buttons don't stick. Fits good. No creaking so far. (Watch it start creaking now)

Got mine today. Don't have any pics of it in phone but the shade of blue is beautiful. So far, so good

Just picked up the 7+ today and went over to Apple to pick up the grey leather case. I love the changes they've made to the button since I purchased my case for the 6s at launch last year.

I've been happy with the Storm Gray leather case for my 7. It has been on the phone for a couple of months. It gets carried in my jeans pocket a lot of the time. At this time, no complaints. It still looks good, has a nice feel to me, and has protected the phone after a couple of drops.

Bought this from CEX for £28. Appears to be brand new. Feels a little slippy like my black one I did buy new. Happy with my purchase.

Funnily enough I bought a sealed ocean blue Smart Cover for my IPad Pro 9.7 yesterday for £22 and I've ordered a silicone case for my iP7 today in the same colour to match it. Lovely colour by the way.

Edited to say that I bought from CEX as well. Also I tried a few leather cases while there and wow they were slippery, much more so than my 6/6s leather cases.

Had my Sea Blue a week or so and I'd say it's a bit darker? Hard for pics to depict it or I'd snap a few

Edit: mine has definitely gotten more "grippy"
 
Anyone notice at first the buttons on the volume rocker appear to bulge out a bit due to the flat piece lining the inside? I am curious as well if this will cause markings on the buttons with extended use.

Hey Benz63amg,

I won't argue with you on personal taste preference of whether you want the full wrap or not, but I do think our leather quality speaks for itself once you can see it, touch it and, bear with me here, smell it. It's just really good stuff. Genuine aniline-dyed vegetable-tanned leather from what's probably the most renowned tannery in America. More details here: http://www.horween.com/ (scroll down and read the "Essex" section, that's the leather family we use).

As for the wrap on the bottom, that's to protect the phone. We leave the gap there for the Lightning cable for two reasons: firstly, it's a UX design point as it allows for the case to more easily be taken on/off the iPhone (a full wrap case is quite difficult to get on and a real pain to get off; secondly, it ensures compatibility with most docks and 3rd party Lightning cables. We work hard on all the details to build what we believe to be the best product. No shortcuts here. That said, Apple's case is also a terrific case and a great option, they're just a little bit different. Note, ours also is unbranded on the outside, which I think customers like Jason Bourne would appreciate.

Hello Noah!
I wanted to reach out because I've been having trouble with Nomad cases so far. I've tried on 3 different Nomad cases at my local Best Buy and all of them seem to fit too tight. I have the phone inserted and pressed in properly but all 3 of the cases appear to continuously press down the power button and volume down button, which causes my phone to continually soft reset. This occured with all 3 Nomad cases that I tried on and the cases didn't appear to have any defect that I could see. Any ideas why this might be happening? I really like the grey iPhone 7 cases a lot (especially because it is closed on the bottom as opposed to the Apple leather case) but I can't buy one if my phone power or volume is being pressed down constantly.

Please help!

Thank you
 
Got my Red one yesterday. Will have to snag a few pics. On MB phone it's a win. Can't decide if I like it or Sea Blue best

Just uploaded an iPhone leather case comparison to YT. It includes the apple Leather case.

Personally I equate the type of grain on the Vaja to premium leather.


Finish and quality are quite good on the Apple case, but it's much more slippery than the Jet Black on its own. I feel like this case might lead to more damage than using it naked...
