Depends who you ask.
I have a Lifeproof "See" case that I like a lot, very nicely made, attractive, but I can't shake the feeling that it's going to slip out of my shirt or jacket pocket or my fingers.
It has a somewhat grippy texture around the perimeter, but doesn't feel quite grippy enough.
Going to try a Gripzilla.
Good reviews, reasonable price, easily returnable if unacceptable (@ Amazon).
I’m assuming any lanyard off of Amazon would work. I think there are different lengths as well. The majority of lanyards I’ve seen are looped through itself. ??♂️
Thanks. Has anyone tried the Nomad's this year? How about the new Sport ones. Looks cool, but also slippery.
I have the Nomad and I really enjoy it. The openings on the bottom used to bother me but they’re perfectly comfortable this year. I think the meld of the charcoal and brown is a really classy look, too.

Had Blackbrook (Berkeley) for my 12 mini. Great case, and from what I could tell very good quality rugged leather.good customer service too.

A word of caution. Don’t go by the stock pictures on that marine blue color. I ordered the marine blue watch band the moment it was available and couldn’t have been more disappointed when I opened the box.
It’s much, much lighter than the stock pictures on the website show. It looks a lot darker on the website, but in reality it’s more of a Carolina Blue. I never even removed it from the packaging and initiated a return within 15 minutes of receiving it. I’d been waiting like 3 months for the blue to be available and was so excited to get it only to be disappointed.
I’m going to assume the marine blue sport case is the same way, that the color is much lighter blue than it looks on the website.
I need to find a discount code now lol. Good to know. I have a silver iPhone this year. I guess Rustic Brown would look nice. How are the buttons? I hear they are improved this year.
My 13 Pro Max (Sierra Blue) is due to land with me tomorrow; so I've had a few cases land with me today and the screen protectors, so I can get them fitted as soon as I remove it from its box

Another issue I find with the Nomad Sport case is the back has a strong static cling effect. I'm in deep winter right now in Northern Michigan (low humidity) and lint, pet hair, etc is attracted to this case and sticks horribly.
Just ordered the Nomad Sport case, in lunar grey though. Closest thing I'll find to a quality white mag safe case I think. Plus, I actually like the look of the glossy back. Have always loved the white case + black phone "storm trooper" combo.
I would pay a large sum of money if Speck brought this case back:
I have the black Speck Presidio Grip case for my 13 Pro and it's a far cry from the above. In 2 years, they managed to ruin what made those cases great. From rubber grips, to plastic grips last year, to now just inverted grooves on the back. I get they had to do that to make the back flat for magsafe, but at least offer a non magsafe candy shell version still.

Yep, the buttons are very easy to use. Definitely improved over previous iterations.
Awesome. I may need to get one. Know of a coupon code that works? The ones that I have tried so far are a no go.
Let me see if I can find something in my email.
Edit: the last discount I saw was for Black Friday. Nothing from Nomad since. Here’s 10% for Supcase though!
