I haven’t seen much about this case on here, but after trying nomad, caudabe, phone rebel, I finally settled on the cheap ringke onyx MagSafe case. It’s literally perfect

After the Apple silicone, multiple Pitaka Pros, and now the Nomad Sport, I'm 100% happy with the Nomad Sport and haven't felt the need to find anything else. Great feel in the hand, great fitment, great buttons, just the right amount of grip, looks beautiful, surprisingly durable (very little wear on the shiny backplate), strong MagSafe... I'm seriously tempted to pick up 1-2 other colors while they're on sale.
Do you not find the Nomad Sport to be slippery?

For those of you who have the Nomad Sport case, does it get grippier with use?

I've got this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Compatible...iphone+15+pro+max,electronics,146&sr=1-4&th=1

Pictures on one of the previous pages...

It's very grippy; but not as grippy as the Otterbox case

Do you think you may be looking for a unicorn?!

I've had zero issues with my 15PM in any of my rugged cases and my hands can be sweaty as hell when training at times; never dropped it once

I have been swapping between these Apple Silicon Case and Otter Box. I like the look of the Otter Box more, but the Apple Silicon has better grip.

Finally Black OB cactus available on Amazon, $52AUD so not bad.
Will see tomorrow.
As others mentioned, be careful when removing the case; the metal camera ring detaches very easily (mine came loose after only removing the case a couple of times.)

Anyone have any good clear case recommendations? I assume the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear is probably the best bet for a good price.

Cactus is a weird cat.

1. Only just enough lip to lay flat with a GSP.
2. Mine has a bulge above the power button and above the charge port, straightened the power one a bit but still not straight.
3. Buttons are sharp and no where near as good as symmetry or my spigen ultra hybrid.
4. Strange smell.
5. Has some ok grip.
6. Gap on Bottom is not really noticeable unless you go looking for it.
7. Magsafe not as good as the spigen.

Have taken it on and off 6 times and camera ring seems solid.

Even if was straight no bulges can't stand the feel of the buttons with is a let down.
Glad I bought from Amazon lol Was worth a try.

Caudabe just replied to someone's comment that the aluminum buttons will start with the 16 series. I'm assuming that's what you meant by floating buttons.
I imagine it will be a green case or a compostable case due to the 🌿 emoji at the end.

I’m currently using the Phone Rebel Gen-5 Clear case.

Anyone use something like that Nomad magnetic back plate? Really tempted to try it or something similar.

Was there something that made their floating buttons better than those found on other cases?
Not necessarily, but the buttons are so much better than the current iphone version. There were a couple of other design elements that I thought made it better as well. The inside had a soft liner vs. hard plastic, the rear of the case was also designed so that the phone would lay flat on its back without any rock due to small ridges on the rear top/bottom of the case. Overall it felt more refined. Here are some comparison pics.
