Based on https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-iphone-cases/ I've ordered both the Speck Presidio Pro black and the Smartish Kung Fu Grip black. After those I'm stopping my personal quest for the perfect case.
PELACASE and super happy with it. ✌

Post pics? How is the grip?
I posted pics a few weeks ago, so I will search for those or make new ones tomorrow. Again, it’s just my experience, not saying you are lying! I guess I am just (too) careful with my stuff.
EDIT: Found my pics from a while back (November 2019). The cases both look the same.

How are the buttons on that case?
Yeah you have kept that clean, few marks/scratches. I am thinking of giving the Black Active a go. If you had a handbag this is how your's would look
Great! I think the ones on my case (for iPhone X) are different from the ones for the current iPhones.
Anyone tried these cases?

No but does not look too bad. Maybe @Hooterville may have. If he is done drooling over the Samsung S20 Ultra lol.
Had the Patchworks for past phones but not the iPhone 11 pro max. Seen reviews and it did not look too thrilling for the 11 pro max.
Those cutouts ?
You asked and man, how about this timing.
Edit: Well, I watched the entire video and it didn’t give much info as far as a full review that we’re used to seeing from Aaron. But, I’m guessing he only reserves his “full reviews” for the Mous lineup. ? We’ll have to wait and see what his top ten leather case review video brings.

Not sure if it was discussed here but the Phone Rebel has my interest after seeing it perform in their drop test video.

If they’d ever just “do the damn thing” and hit the road while the 11 Pro line is still relevant I’d be a lot more interested lol.
I'll be on the iPhone 20 before they ever get the cases out for the 11
S20 Ultra* fixed that for you man
Jesus man you paid for it but I can't help but feel bad on how you're treating it. Nomad uses Horween leather, the same leather used on $800 Luxury Viberg boots. Their lower end cuts are also used in boots such as Wolverine and similar. It's very high quality leather and I'm willing to bet leagues ahead on what Apple uses on their leather cases. The only thing more luxurious without going exotic is shell cordovan. (Literally horse ass leather)
My nomad rugged folio case is really starting to grow on me. I think I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now. It’s barely showing signs of wear, but I’m hoping it will start showing signs of more wear in the near future.
It's going to wear beautifully like below if you treat it right. No cooking oils like what the guys on that Apple leather case thread is doing (wtf? lol) Also no silicone cleaners. Water and very rarely soap is enough.
I’m leaving this case alone and using it as I normally would. The only leather conditioner/balm I have is Smith’s organic leather balm, but I’ll be hesitant to even use that. I think the natural oils from my hands will help the case age as it should. Any pointers? Should I try and preserve the leather or just leave it be like I intend too?
If you go back a few pages you see, i had already ruined it by cutting the buttons out as that was my main problem, was just having a bit of fun with what was left of it
