The Bandwerk isn't marketed as a rugged case. It's likely to be on par with any other TPU case with the usual 6ft drop protection. If a rugged case is what you're after I think the Nomad would be better suited for that. The Bandwerk is a premium material high'ish end everyday case.

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:

Found a very nice, Torras like case on Amazon for only a tenner.

Its slim, tight fitting, has metal clicky buttons, perfect cut outs and so far seems to be very resistant to smudges on the matte back. You can’t see the Apple logo in these poor iPad pics but in person you can at certain angles.

I much prefer the look of this as the MagSafe magnet is grey rather than white 👌

A very nice non-leather option

I ordered the black one yesterday when it was on sale for $24.99. Now it's back up to $49 and the tan one is now at $24.99.

Looking at this and comparing to the Bare case of the same style, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was it

Spent the day in this today.

I highly recommend to anyone in the market for a case of this style.

Been after a decent non leather option for a while and I’ve found it. This, IMO in streets ahead of the Caudabe Sheath (which I tried so hard to get on with) for comfort, fit and tactility.

I love how resistant to smudges it is

That’s a cool wallpaper, mind sharing?!

Also, done with the bandwerk already? I was digging the black one but if you already are done with it then I might reconsider
No, the Bandwerk case is fine with the only con being the soft TPU. I also want the all black one but have been holding off ordering. Just wish there were some Bandwerk discount codes available.

That wallpaper is a paid deal so I'll only leave it up for a couple of hours o_O

Awesome, thanks! I am surely tempted to grab that all black 🤔
