Just grabbed a 13 Pro Max this weekend (Sierra Blue which is the most attractive color I’ve seen ever since the iPhone came along) and decided on this case combo:

- Apple Silicon case in green
- Nomad in rustic brown
- Otterbox React for a clear option
- Spigen 9H glass

Already covered for the full life cycle of this crazy good iPhone.

Yea, I always end up with the special editions. Here is a pic, I know I'm being picky but this crap drives me crazy and it's hard to clean out :confused:

Are the white specs on top of the finish or has the top finish worn down to its core material? I’ve had the black Sheath for several months. It has no signs of wear despite dropping it on pavement, or any accumulation of dust. (Me being careless and not the fault of the case being slippery.) It could be that certain colors have a white core whereas the black has a black core?

Dang want that UAG, $72US would be $102AUD, and that's with 10% off on UAG website, not sure if delivery too.

Got it.

I like it- it is a tad chunkier than the Apple case but I kinda like it- the way the lip of of the case is level with my screen protector gives the phone a nice look and feel. I think the case makes the phone taller rather than much wider.

The leather back is harder than I expected too - has that nice leather smell.

Hope it develops a nice sheened ‘classic’ black leather patina - couldn’t find too many images of patina’d black ones, most tend to have the brown cases.

Scrap that.

I think I’m gonna have to sell it on.

It’s uncomfortable to hold, one handed, with my abnormally small hands.

If any UK based posters are interested, lemme know. I’m after what I paid which is £17.50 and I’ll ship for free

Black doesn't patina just gets marks/scratches and a magsafe ring lol.
They are a bit taller than Apples leather.
Worst thing the bottom is not as soft.

Nomad sucks. The leather is so hard it’s like they slapped a sticker on a piece of TPU. The bottom cutouts are horrendous and the buttons still suck. Bullstrap is way better….hell even apple leather is better.
