No camera button but seems light; wonder if worth trying?

Does the back smudge or scratch easy ? Or is the plastic like the otterbox commuter ? Thanks
Not really sure. I just returned this case today to Best Buy. This thing was way too slippery for me.
Did not see any smudges or MagSafe rings after using it for a couple of days. It's a fine case, if you are looking for good grip fuhgeddaboudit 😉

What's the weight of the nomad?
Are the sides same as their leather modern cases?
Ordered.
17PM version is 53.9 grams and I believe the sides are different than the modern leather. It's been a minute since I've had their modern leather case. Here is the side of the Nomad rugged:

Ordered a Pitaka Summa case for my incoming iPhone 17 Pro. For those who have ordered directly from Pitaka in the UK, typically how long does it take to deliver ? If it is long ish I might have order a temp case or use the rubbish Torra case that I have somewhere.
I have just ordered this case
How long did it take to be delivered to the UK?
 
Yeah, that’s another factor for me preferring the precise cuts. I don’t have to worry too much about the plateau being exposed to the elements. 😅
Yea depends if you want the plateau protection or not. For something like the TW you don’t necessarily need a precise because it’s not meant to be protective anyway.

Nope, no scratches or smudges here after two weeks of use. Everything is easily wiped off. It’s TPU all around.
Also absolutely no problems with the grip on this thing. Never so much as fumbled it.

Because people have had bad experiences and perhaps it’s not the most protective case when it comes to harsh drops, doesn’t mean “it’s not meant to be protective”.

Apple would have definitely thought “we’re not gonna put an ugly cover over the plateau area of our cases because they’re not meant to protect the phone anyway”.

Honestly.

Apple is all about aesthetic. Whether people feel they need to protect the plateau is up to them but there is no plateau covered case out there doesn’t look cheap and ruins the aesthetic of the phone which is why Apple doesn’t put a cover on their cases. Not because “it’s not meant to be protective”.

Right Apple is about aesthetic not about too much protection, just enough for dings and dangs with the TW which is fine if you want that.
 
How do you find the case? I know it offers minimal protection...does it have a tight fit?
It offers more protection than the Ultra Slim Pitaka ones. Mines really tight fitting and is a struggle getting it off. There is no looseness around the camera button an minimal movement above the usb c port. Also you can’t see the frame of the iPhone as well.

It shows a lot of fingerprints though I bet?

When I ordered one it had an inconsistent loose fit. I could see the silver showing around the CC button, the power button and the corners. It was very disappointing and unacceptable for a $80 case imo. There are much cheaper cases with much better fit.

Otherwise metal buttons are great, mix of TPU/metal camera frame is nice, it’s lightweight, butter soft feeling in hand and it does look good.

The moment you touch it though it is a major smudge magnet. If having a greasy looking case pretty much all the time doesnt bother you then it’s fine.

It has its pluses but the negatives outweighed the positives for me plus it is overpriced imo. I ended up returning mine.

Still in the Apple silicon black. Been about 2 months. Dropped it on my recent cruise, fell out of my shorts and onto the deck of the ship. No damage or rips or tears. If it would have been concrete, in my experience just like leather cases, I usually have a rip or damage to the case itself. I have a few white dbrand plateau protector and really want the new vanilla colored silicone case but can’t justify the $50 since we’re more than halfway to new 18 pros being released. Sticking with the black hopefully until upgrade time.
