I forgot how following the UPS can drive one to drink. It'll be a block away and then 5 minutes later 2 miles away. I get deliveries around 6:30 pm normally so expect today to be past 8 even though the app says 2:15-4:15 (I've never had a UPS delivery before 5).

Got my 15 Pro Max in Natural Titanium. Love the color, although it’s a very subtle color, it’s such a nice break from the space grey, black, and graphite. It looks very premium. The weight is surprisingly light, even coming from my 13 Pro, and noticeably lighter than my wife’s 13 Pro Max. Absolutely love the utilization of FaceID area for Dynamic Island.

It's funny -- the UPS driver was a few houses down, I spotted the truck a while ago and thought it was about to deliver. However, she turned on a cross street and she's delivering about a mile away now. Not sure what kind of route she's on ... but she's definitely circling in the area.

lol that’s funny my tracking still doesn’t show… I have to leave for the airport in 3 hours

Not allowing for CC pickup almost turned into a disappointing experience for me. I usually pick up from CC. Score work. Can’t do that this year. So I authorized shipment release. Apparently even though UPS allows it on their website, Apple does not. My delivery was missed. Luckily I was on lunch and saw the truck on my way home. Had I not, my phone would have been sent back to Apple because I will not be home next week to get deliveries, and I have no neighbors that would have been able to sign for it either.

If I authorize UPS to drop my phone off, that should override anything Apple says.

thats actually good, people will be upset but better safe the sorry,my driver said the same thing about making people sign for the item, plus he said he had about 40 plus boxes of iphones in his truck to deliver ha.. all the same size
My guy dropped the boxes, knocked and was walking away as I opened my door. Never asked for a signature even as I said 'thanks!'. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah or guy seemed a little concerned because he said his truck is full of them.

Now that my phone has arrived and I put it in the case, here's what I think so far. As has always been the case with Nomad, this case has a degree of ruggedness to it that will certainly provide more drop protection than my beloved Apple leather cases that rode off into the sunset this year. Although it is more rugged than the Apple leather case (ruggedness usually means additional thickness), the amount of heft that it adds to the phone is extremely negligible, if even noticeable. This is my first time using the Pro Max, which I was hesitant to opt for previously due to its size, so you can imagine my apprehension with putting a bulky case on it. With this case, it's a non-issue.

I am not having any difficulty at all swiping from the sides of the screen; in fact, I am pleasantly surprised by the low profile of the lip that surrounds the front of the screen. You can tell that a lot of thought went into this case's design, as it checks all the boxes. The buttons are made of anodized aluminum and are super clicky and the case itself feels really good in hand (cue "that's what she said" jokes). Truthfully, it's everything I've been looking for in a case.

I didn't opt for the more expensive Horween leather variant ($70), choosing the regular leather ($50) instead. By the way, it actually smells like a quality leather product! I didn't really see the need to spend an additional $20 on something that I wouldn't notice in daily use. Below are a couple of pics I snapped of the phone in the case (natural titanium with Nomad's Whiskey colorway make a sexy, elegant combination), as well as a closeup of the lip around the screen.

In conclusion, I really like this case. If you're considering it, buy with confidence. You'll be in for a treat.

Great review of your Nomad case. I splurged and got one in Horween for 15 PM Ti. Very high quality case, for sure!
