You’re exactly right. The sides of the nomad are sort of a rubbery coated material that wraps over the hard plastic shell. I also love the feeling of my bullstrap cases since the leather wraps completely around the case and it just feels more premium.
I have no idea how I missed the bourbon case! Lol, already ordered it after I read your post, but I’ll continue to use my nomad as a daily driver for the next couple of weeks to see how it shows it’s character.
I also wish Apple would have released a leather case for the xr, but here we are. Maybe I’ll just buy an xs or xs max and then have another variety of leather cases to choose from. Lol. I’ve also been looking at the vaja cases as well, but my case collection is starting to creep up to what I paid for my xr. It may just be worth swapping to the xs and selling my xr and going first party. To bad though, I’ve enjoyed my xr since the day I purchase it back in April of this year. It’s been my first iPhone coming from a long line of Android flagships dating back to the G1 in 2007.
