How do you find the overall size and bulk compared to the apple leather case? I wanted to move to this case as well because the leather is actually black, but I also like the overall size of the apple leather case in my hands.
Very similar size, the nomad is a few mm taller.

I like the Aspen more as time goes on. It almost feels like it’s molding to the phone as it ages. It’s a tight fit with barely any lip so feels almost like holding a naked phone. I’ve been saying I’d prefer a Bullstrap but the clean back with no logo beats out the in-your-face Bullstrap stamp all day.

Is this thinner than apple leather case? Also is it less sticky? 😁

I ordered this because I was at the Apple store yesterday and still want the darn pink chalk but it doesn’t fit my 12 pro max. I ALMOST upgraded. Not just for the case but my battery made it halfway through Disneyland the other day and then I had to stop using my phone for games while waiting in line because I needed to use the app for lightning pass but ugh. I still want the pink case (pink flamingo braided loop for Apple Watch is 🔥 btw)

But any thoughts on this brand? Anyone tried it? It has good reviews..

If you want a good third-party silicone case, get this one. The grip is perfect. Have tried a ton of companies but nothing compares. Some third party cases have an extremely flimsy button cutout and down by the charging port. This one has a tiny bit but nothing that’s a deal breaker. Can’t beat the apple silicone of course but for price, can’t go wrong with this one.

Long time lurker here. Have a bit of a self-proclaimed addiction to iPhone cases.

Currently rocking the tan leather from nomad. Own all their leather and sport cases (except for the sport black case)

Ordered the eucalyptus silicone case, but not too sure if I’ll keep it. Should come in this week.

Thinking about picking up the sport case in lunar gray. Are the buttons as clicky as they look? Also how has the back held up to scratches?

Surprisingly, they’ve held up really well, but a few hairline scratches are unavoidable. Buttons are super clickable and the case overall has great grip.

Go with the sport case as your daily. You won’t regret it.

Well I haven’t tried that one but I bought that one I posted and omg it’s not that great. I’m gonna return it. It’s flimsy and feels cheap. BLECH.


I bought another bullstrap instead. I guess I’m spoiled by the higher quality items.

Can’t stand the slack near the port cut outs on some cases. Almost like the elastic band around my 20 year old sweat pants. 🤣

That’s a shame because wow that color is so cute!! I’m glad I went ahead and upgraded, I’m way too in love with the Apple chalk pink.

Yeah I kinda wanted to get the 13 pro max the other day when I went to the Apple store but eh. I just don’t wanna do it with the 14 being right around the corner. But it’s hard not gonna lie. I wish I could get that case

Sweet! Yeah the thought of going to the beach with a leather case is a little nerve racking. Nomad sport is at the top of the list.
