Yes, does not cover the actual lenses though. I just love the look and how easy it is to wipe off dust and debris.
The design is definitely not for everyone. You have to accept bare sides and that the stainless steel will pick up fingerprints but you get to enjoy the beautiful design of the bare phone with good protection without going full naked. Also it looks great paired up together in my opinion. I’m actually not a huge fan of Gen4. I know those are fighting words around here lol but Flex is awesome!
After having the midnight leather for almost two weeks now it’s become my favorite as far as the fit. The feel. The look. I love my pink silicone but I love how this leather gets grippier with time but not enough to attract lint (cat fur in my case) or sticks to the inner pocket of my purse. And I love the color midnight as well- believe it or not I like it better than my all black leather 12 pro max case. Looks like dark sapphires (matches the bracelet my husband bought me for my birthday) - super elegant on the silver iPhone pro max. Def my favorite case!!
I am going to order a few things from Nomad, anyone know of a coupon code out there better than 15% off?
I'm like you in that I wasn't really impressed with the Gen4. It was fine, but nothing special. And mine was defective out of the box, so that may have swayed my opinion. Between the fiber not being completely adhered to my Gen4 from day one and the detaching magnets I suffered through with Gen3, I'm not really interested in buying more and hoping for a good one. I wish there was a way to play with the Flex without buying it first. I actually feel bad about returning so many cases...not that I will stop, but I do feel like a bit of an arse, lol.
I have not been impressed with Phone Rebel since Gen 2 for the iPhone 12. I think that one is the best one they had made.
So my case saga so far:
Keeping the Mountain Green Sheath to pair with the Apple Orange Leather Wallet
Ordered the Nomad Ultra Orange Rugged case to pair with the Apple Sequoia Green Leather Wallet
Apple Leather Ink will be my only other case purchase
Returned the Orange Leather case, love the color, but how dirty it could get worried me. Returned a Spigen Preisidio 2 from Best Buy. Nice case but super slippery.

the foam on the back. The thickness of the case
I’ve been seeing the Apple case mentioned lately and I’ve noticed today that I’m still not okay with the wonky buttons on my Cretanbull. Will probably be back in the ink leather before tomorrow morning.
What’s your preferred method for cleaning your aramid fiber cases? Sometimes I feel microfiber cloths don’t do the best job and I get worried to ruin them with liquid. Or anyone else that has something to add to this question.
The Huggies that are 99.9% water work fantastic on aramid fiber cases. Just wipe the case down with one of them and then dry with a microfiber towel. The ones that I posted in that picture a few pages back are the ones I use.
I also like the microfiber towels that Harbor Freight gives away free with coupons. I believe that they also sell them.
I am somewhat disappointed with the Caudabe Blue Sheath. The website shows the case as a somewhat darker navy blue. However, the case is “blue”.
The case does make the 14PM feel heavier.
Overall, I don’t mind the texture of the case.
Buttons feel nice and the case fits very snug.
Though I am not sure how much protection the iPhone will receive if I dropped it on pavement while going for a jog.

Smartish Gripzilla case is excellent. Great protection, great grip and strong MagSafe magnets
I must say the black gen 4 combined with the organge buttons is a sweet combo!
