I am still waiting for my orange Nomad case. December 12th came and went, nothing. Email sent on the 12th inquiring about when I might expect mine to ship, no reply as of yet. Not sure how they stay in business with that customer service that nonexistant. Likely the last time I will order anything from them not on Amazon.

Usually, they will answer in a couple of days. Nomad has definitely gone downhill as of lately. Almost everything they sell, they do not have in stock and the waiting time is unbelievable. If their sport bands, cases ETC are such hot selling items why not produce a ton of them and have a little stock on hand to ship.

Also, they ship everything in thin plastic black bags with no padding or protection and almost everything arrives with damaged packaging. When I pay top dollar for an item, I don't expect to receive stuff with damaged, beat-up packaging.

They do make a decent product, but it seems like they want to collect your money first before actually producing the items.
 
Couldn’t help myself to order the the black sheath on Black Friday sale. I have the mountain green this year - nice case but that stealthy clean black… can’t beat it.

Also bought the synthesis. The fit is so good, but the back is very prone to marks and scratches- my MagSafe made marks on day 1- It’s kind of annoying…
Others have mentioned, the grip on the sides is better, but at the cost of the back being more slippery. I’ve defaulted back to the sheath- it’s just hard to beat in my opinion. Both great cases, matter of preference.
Thank you for this. I thought I was the only one who noticed the scratching on the synthesis. Great fit and finish, but the sheath is still number one as it is essentially bullet proof , finger print proof, and fits tight

I think I’d be fine with the Sheath’s weight on the 14 Pro, but together with the weight of the 14 Pro Max, it tips the scale over my acceptable limit. The Synthesis barely feels heavier than the apple leather case to me.
 
Very nice combo .. Have you decided on a silicone color ? Or just sticking with leather
Good question!

At this time, i really love the Sunglow Silicone case, but it just doesn’t look great with the Deep Purple. Not a fan of the Plum-like Elderberry. Storm Blue looks good with Deep Purple.

At this time, I would say I stick to Ink, and if i had to buy another case then I’d say Umber leather is on my list, looks great with Deep Purple

Cretanbull cases arrived today. I like that the bottom is open and the camera is wrapped. It seems identical to Bullstrap but is a lot cheaper.

Still haven’t received my nomad case and they haven’t responded to my email from the 12th. Really considering just canceling. Very disappointing!
 
Any Apple Silicone fans here? Bottoms responsive?

Sounds like Cretanbull. I tried canceling the case I ordered twice before it shipped. Still crickets. The case is also sitting in a drawer.
I have the black one for 14 Pro Max. It is the only case I have consistently used. As others have said, though, it is a big ole dust magnet.
I started with the midnight silicone on my 14PM. Currently using the Ink leather case on Space Black. Very nice combo.

Do you switch out cases often?

Ended up canceling my order just now. Was looking forward to the orange rugged case but 2 months wait is excessive. Oh well. Will use the refund for a new case, perhaps a Phone Rebel case 😀

The buttons are a little more muted in sound but they keep the tactile bump. Prefer the leather over the silicone for longevity. Once the matte feel on the silicone case wears out and turns shiny its game over the case starts to deteriorate.

Never seen that. Have you contacted Caudabe?
I didn’t, I just ordered a different case. I gotta say, Caudabe’s magnet is much stronger than Casely’s. It holds to my Belkin tree charger but it’s much easier to pull off, and my apple wallet slides around it annoyingly. I’ll get over it.

I’ve put my midnight case back on this morning.

Whilst the leather no where near RL level, damn, being slimmer the case feels so much nicer in hand
I’m looking forward to slapping on my apple leather case again too, when I’m home later today to start my winter break. Just can’t beat the overall feel, fit, svelteness, and light weight of the apple leather case IMO.
