Love the look of this. How is the MagSafe? Very tempted to order. I haven't been impressed with the Apple leather cases. I had the brown for my X and it didn't age well and the color was not this nice.
I am close to pushing the button on the Monaco blue.
Can’t decide if it’s ‘too’ blue though
Loved my Pitaka and never thought it was a fingerprint magnet. The actual magnet on that is insanely strong though.
I’ve always gotten the thinner one in the past and the MagEz for the 13PM and I’m just waiting for the newest one to arrive. Had some issues with the QC last year but kept it anyways, apparently, they fixed sharp edges with the new ones so I'm looking forward to it since it's one of the best low-profile ones I've used.
I've been using the Tech21 Evo cases for my last few iPhones, and have really liked them. Tech21 doesn't get much love on here. They have done an excellent job of protecting the edges during falls, and Tech21 says its tested up to 16 foot drops. It's also very thin, well made, and feels nice in the hand. It does yellow over time from heat though. I purchased the Eve for my 14 Pro Max, and the case seems as nice as ever, but seems extremely tight and looks like its stretching to fit, as though the size is slightly off and in need of revision. The sides don't feel like its flush with the flat side of the phone, as though its pulling a bit at an angle. Has anyone noticed this? I've read cases made for the iPhone 13 Pro Max dimensions are slightly off on the 14 Pro Max? Because of this, I've been looking at other cases. I love the Apple cases, but hated the lack of edge protection.
I've also been looking at the Caudabe cases, but I'm a bit concerned about edge protection compared to the Tech21. Caudabe says its only tested up to 6.5ft drops. This sounds like it may not be as protective as the Tech21, which makes me a bit concerned.

The soft case is still too bulky to me. It feel just like the cheap cases on Amazon. It’s also TPU, so it’s going to turn yellow eventually. It’s no point wasting $30+ on a clear case that will turn yellow.
Can you post a pic or two? Or did you aleady? In the past few years I ended up sending back the Symmetry and went for the Defender XT instead.
Just an fyi, Mujjo’s leather has gone downhill for a couple of years now.

Does the Nomad case provide any additional cushioning in the corners or on the side for drops compared to the Apple Leather case?

If you don’t mind, can you post a couple pics of it? Would seriously appreciate it, as I can’t find a single pic of the deep purple pro in it.
Luckily the hard one is supposedly even thinner than the soft one, to the point it doesn’t even have a front lip.
I tried to take a few pics but with no natural light, you can’t tell if it’s purple or black. I’ll take some in the morning when the sun is out. The hard one is thinner than the soft one and you’re right, about it not having a front lip.
I am looking for a soft and thing clear or frosted case with MagSafe. Peel’s clear MagSafe case wrongly claimed to be soft TPU (it arrived and is just a snap on plastic). I don’t like losing any MagSafe strength on cases without it, otherwise I was interested in the Totallee clear soft.
Eurgh.
Looking at that, it’s aged like the apple ones do.
Maybe the ‘patina’ of these cases is because of the flat sided phone rather than the case materials.
I got my Nomad on Friday - not had one before, have always used the Apple cases, but I returned my Ink case this year as it was just a bit meh, esp coming from a navy blue case on my IPP12.
I was nervous about the rubber edges but it feels really, really nice - the leather is so much better than apple's, and I can tell it's going to age much better. I really like the case - it feels lovely in the hand and I haven't dropped the phone (and don't intend to) but the rubber on the corners feels like it will offer more protection than the apple case. Nomad's blurb claims the same. Also, the buttons on mine aren't mushy at all...
