Nomad’s black Horween leather case on Natural Titanium! This case feels really premium; the matte tpu edges paired with the metal buttons feel really nice. The case feels light, not bulky at all, and fits the phone well. There is just enough lip over my Torras SP for lay on the table protection. I have to say, the leather isn’t as soft as I was expecting coming from Bullstrap, but it’ll definitely be more protective.

I got my eye on the English tan when it drops back in stock for non max
 
I’m baaaack! 😆
Anyone have the Rhinoshield Mod NX? Feedback on it?

Also a Rhinoshield discount code would be greatly appreciated 😇

Well in their defense, they are hit and miss. Pending what’s in warehouse. I ordered a case on a Wednesday and had it Friday. Some orders took just over a week. My racing yellow case and watch band will be here Saturday regular mail.

Even when things are late, they always refund me the full shipping fee. Top shelf service if you ask me.
I got a notification today that my Racing Yellow case and watch band shipped on Monday are due for delivery by FedEx this Friday. They were shipped directly from Hong Kong. My Decoded Apricot watch band was delivered today which should go well with my Apricot Decoded case. 😃👍

I'm using it, but as a bumper without the Mod NX backplate. I love it, as it lets me feel the back glass of the pro and its super lightweight.

I used the code "amazingdeal" for 15% off

Maybe you’ll be lucky and get another sale by the time your English Tan comes back in stock. Like I said, I would’ve gotten the regular modern leather at $35 if the black had been in stock at the time, but the sale made the black Horween $50 so I went for it. Being that it was the more expensive version, I was expecting more from the leather aspect. Thought it would be more supple. Maybe I’ve been spoiled from the quality leather of Bullstrap. As nice as this case is, I don’t think I agree with the full $70 for it.

I agree the English tan I don’t think is $50 case because the bottom line is the bottom line when you factor in shipping which makes it a $57 plus taxes = $60 case. I’d pay $45 all in for the non Horween version which accounts for the sale they were running. IMO the MSRP Nomad prices are inflated.

Can you take a picture of the front of the case on the phone?

I agree the lint/dust is the only flaw to that case imo. It’s like you want to accept it because it’s such a nice case and feels great in hand but then you go back to another type of case that doesn’t collect dust/lint and it makes you realize that it’s such a flaw about the silicone cases.

My other gripe with the silicone case is mine (at least) has corners that like to pop off of the phone when in my pocket. Any time I sit down, there's apparently enough pressure to push at least one corner away from the screen. I'm constantly fussing with the corners to get them all tucked back in. It worries me that I'm going to put one of the corners face down on a table and not notice.

Just got the Pitaka Mag Pro 4 case in today. It's a beautifully made case, but I was hoping the feel would be similar to the Evutec case on my XS - and it isn't. The Evutec had a soft, semi-grippy texture and ridged sides that made it really easy to hold. The Pitaka is much, much smoother and the sharper edges make it less comfy to hold. Hoping that it gets easier to hold as it breaks in.

Currently using a dbrand Ghost case and quite happy with it on White Titanium. I bought it on a Dutch secondhand site. It has scratches (as most Ghost cases) but the seller will send me the new one in April. I do like the case a lot, though!

That’s why I only wear pants with a specific cell phone pocket.

I thought this would bother me too, but now that I have it it’s not a bother at all, and the low lip makes for smoother swiping. It’s the same height as Otterbox Symmetry, but slimmer on the sides. I actually may end up returning my Symmetry, only bc it’s a bit too wide for me to comfortably hold my phone one handed without a MagSafe grip.
