One of my favorite cheap cases the Ringke Onyx No MagSafe, not much drop protection, but one fine case.

Yea, for $9.99 they will send you a brand-new case. Just make sure to mention that the plastic is creaking, and the rubber is loose or you will only receive the inside plastic shell.So you can just file a warranty claim with them? I may give that a go. The creaking is starting to piss me off.
Iv'e swapped back to my apple leather midnight now it's not so hot/humid here, nomad is a bit slippery on the sides and not real comfy on the pinky v apples leather. Apples is also a closer feel to the shape of the phone with no case imo. just moulds to the phone better.Checking in to report on the Nomad Modern Leather. I’ve had zero desire to switch to any of the other nine cases in my bedside collection. Normally I’m itching to change within a week, two at most.
The case has taken quite a beating over the past week. I buried my new Runner and needed to be rescued by a local 4x4 group. I did some damage to my bumper and the mounts that attach to the frame so I spent some real time on the ground bending everything back into place, power-washing concrete mud out of the undercarriage and wheels, etc.
The phone provided the needed light while in the garage and took a couple of tumbles from about wheel height from me wrenching and knocking it off balance. Got some good gouges and scuffing and was covered in mud more than once and it still looks as rugged and refined as ever.
Will come back with photos at some point…

Measured up it's only a few mm shorter and narrower than the nomad, so that and the way it wraps the phone makes the max iPhone seem smaller.I can certainly agree that the form factor of the Apple case is better; I just wish it didn’t feel so grimy.

If you had to get rid of your entire case collection except one, what do you keep?
For me it’s Nomad Modern Leather.
I ended up only using the Sheath when I had the iPhone 12 and that surprisingly, was the only case I bought. I needed to switch it up this time lol.For me, it would be the Sheath. I’ve tried tons of other cases, but I always end up back in the Sheath.
