I like bellroy’s products. I’m currently using their zip card holder and it’s just what I needed in a small wallet.

I do want to try their cases though. They seem to be designed exactly like nomads cases so I’m wondering how it compares.

Great wallets have had a few, last iPhone case i had was sharp where the leather meets the TPU on sides, also cracked on the corner from taking it on/off, they did warrant it. Was awhile ago maybe IP7/8 so may be better now.
Nomad are better imo.

Another excellent $12.99 case is this Ciel by Cyrill (Made by Spigen). Same exact case as the Mkoawa that I showed a few pages back in this thread. This one however is of better quality than the Mkoawa. Has a little branding on the sides but it's hardly noticeable. Also comes in a plastic pouch with extra black buttons. Just an overall fantastic case. Here are some pics:

Puffer case came in today (along with a tempered glass lens protector) from CaseMate and tbh both are ****. They both look used and the Puffer “says” it has 10 foot drop protection but it doesn’t. No lip for the screen either.

Sent them a very angry email, might just ship both back tbh. Just might stick with my Speck and DBrand Grip case.

@bobsamm how long has your wife used the nomad folio case and how long before it developed noticeable patina or wear? I can’t recall. I’m switching, again, to the nomad case for New Year’s Eve since I’ll be outdoors tonight.

I’m about to call amazon and give them a piece of my mind on this delayed “prime” shipping. ?

Heh, 1st world problems.


I’ve dealt with their CS a few times and will admit they’ve “taken care of me” without ANY fuss so I wouldn’t expect any less of them for you

I know you are joking, but be careful! Dunno how much truth there is to it, but apparently Amazon is getting pretty “free” with cancelling accounts from people that make too many returns and/or complain a lot. ?‍♂️

About 8 months now, the leather does mark easy, the back is darker than the front cover too.

Wow! Sorry to hear that, but glad to have a level of verification from a trusted source.

I complained today about an order guaranteed for delivery today and without notice moved to Friday. Was reimbursed more than usual for some reason.

I’ve complained at least twice this past month due to my orders being delivered to someone else’s home. They sent replacement items and changed it from prime 2 day to next day shipping. I’ve been worried about that too since I’ve heard they will cancel accounts if there are to many complaints.

I have the screen protector from Apple expensive but worth it to me. First case Meifigno Magic series IPhone 11 $16. from Amazon.Fall protection is 6 feet. Case fits phone perfectly, buttons work they should. Second case DEFENSE/ SHILD for iPhone 11. 10’ Drop tested (3 meters) military tested. Doria International Inc. Between $25. & $20. depends if on sale. This is the one I’m using now. Fits like a glove.

Well looks like the pre-order for Phone Rebel moved out from tomorrow to Feb 20th. No idea what is up though.

I’d almost decided to take a leap of faith on one. Oh well

Lol I know right. Yeah I may just keep what I have. I have too many as it is lol. I don't know if I will upgrade in the fall though, so we shall see.

EDIT: Ok who wants to buy this for me? :oops:
