Bellroy support has been great as always and they refunded me for the innovera case with the bad camera control button with making me send it back or submit proof

In other news, I’ve been able to get the leather case to have a near perfect fit by heating it up with a hair dryer and bending the TPU bezels inwards while it’s warm until it cools 🤣 A little extreme to go this far to get a case to perfectly fit but I love everything else about this case so much it was worth it to me
They sent me a replacement case I got from Amazon for free, returned the Amazon one for a refund, best case I have had for my 16 pro.
 
Bluebonnet as a company is trash.

  • CS told me the case would be shipped by 10/13 or 10/14.
  • I asked them to cancel the order when I hadn’t received tracking info by 10/17.
  • They responded on 10/20, completely ignoring my cancellation request and said the case would go out by 10/23 or 10/24.
  • I emailed them again today to say I still want it canceled and noting they missed their claimed shipping date again, in addition to totally ignoring my request to cancel.
  • They replied, ignoring my request to cancel, and said tracking would be up by 10/25

I want nothing to do with them. I’ve submitted a dispute.
 
I’m hoping my collection is done this gen, feeling really satisfied with the options

A couple of cases incoming—one tomorrow, one next week.

I didn't realize the Nomad was on Amazon. I bought direct and had a 15% off coupon from them. It arrived today and it is as expected. Solid snap tight fit. The Horween Leather is always good whenever I get a product with it. Someone a few posts above said Bellroy wallets are good, I'm gonna disagree because Bellroy leather is paper thin and feels cheap. My only knock on the Nomad Air case is the backing isn't flush with the sides. I'm used to that when I had the Aulumu aramid case with the 16 Pro Max, but for the Air, I would want it to be flush to maintain that sleek and thin feeling. I think I'll keep it, but I have a feeling I'll be using the Aramid case more.

The TineeOwl is coming from Amazon, the Nomad is coming direct.

I agree, the Nomad Horween is very nice.
 
my favorite “case” so far for the air is the apple air bumper. i have tried the ghost, dbrand grip, a zagg case with kickstand, a torras clear frameless case, apple shadow and the magbak elite.

the air bumper is so light. i think it also looks great with a matte black finish. it has great buttons. i love seeing the back of the iphone especially around the plateau. it is rounded and the metal meeting the glass looks so good. BUT i switched back to the shadow temporarily at least cause i was careless and had the phone on my lap sitting and it slipped off bouncing on its side against a tile floor landing face down. no damage at all but i thought about what if it landed face up. i would have died even though i pay for applecare. i got scared and immediately removed the bumper. i’m already thinking about going back. 🤔

The only thing I like about the bumper is how light it is. What I don't like about it is how slippery it is...and i guess how it doesn't help protect the camera plateau when you put it down. Also, even though it's as close as going caseless, the bumper is thicker than the Shadow/Frost cases, so you lose that sleekness of going caseless.
