Ok, that’s the first time I’ve heard of this complaint. The other stuff, yeah, but if you got one with misaligned cutouts, then you definitely got a lemon. I’ve got 6 different Sheath cases (3 cutout Action Buttons and the 3 covered) and all the cutouts are perfectly centered.
I’ve had 5 Sheaths this year and the port cutout was mis-aligned on two. I also had one that had a corner that wouldn’t seat properly. In fairness, I’ve had various fit issues with other brands this year as well, including a Gen 5 with a bulge at the volume buttons, a Pitaka with a gap at the port, a Nomad with an overall sloppy fit, two FineWoven cases with mis-aligned ports and air gaps, and so on…

I do really like the Apple Silicone. I will snag a couple once the next model comes out and they hit $5-10. Seems to happen every year. Definitely has the best form factor.
I wish we had such discounts here in EU, they cost 57-59€ and sometimes you can get some of the colors for 47€ on amazon.

I’ve had my 15 pro max sitting in a box for 3 weeks as I can’t decide which case to buy for it.

The guy who sits beside me at work has the Spigen Cryo Armour case on his S24 Ultra - which looks and feels great. I might give it a try……

This is the best case I have ever had for my iPhones. Just got rid of my Apple Fine woven case which was the worst case I have ever had.

The magnets on the Torras case are the strongest I have seen and the stand is a great bonus!
The case is surprisingly cheap. I wonder why that is?

Bandwerk Performance Leather Shocking Orange in today. The only thing shocking about this case is the price o_O Took 7 days to receive all the way from Germany which is not that bad. I've only played with the case for a few minutes to take these pictures. Seems to be of pretty high quality with fantastic metal buttons that do have a lining on the insides. The fit is good but the TPU is very soft and I'm not a fan of that. Case also had a slight banana bow straight out of the box. Clearly they were trying to copy the Nomad rugged with this case. I'll report back later after I have some more time with this case. Here are a few pics:

Nomad Rugged Ultra Orange vs Bandwerk Performance Leather Shocking Orange :oops:

Who does it better ? :confused:
  • The Bandwerk looks nice, but I wonder about the anodized aluminum camera surround - I imagine it’s going to get scratched up pretty quickly?
  • The Bandwerk cutouts look good, much better than the Nomad.
  • The Nomad appears to be more rugged and I’m guessing it offers more protection and will withstand more abuse than the Bandwerk.
  • Not fond of how the color of the Bandwerk camera surround doesn’t match the back material, would probably look better if it was simply black or silver.
I guess overall, weighing the above, I’d choose the Nomad.
