Looking good. I may order a rustic brown. Chloë from Nomad sent me an email that the rustic brown cases are on back order, but shipping December 2nd. I really like the black borders, but I’m also torn because I just like the natural leather on my current Nomad. Decisions decisions....Got my Nomad Rugged - went with Black for the first time in 5 years.
I really like that the bottom is rounded out so resting it on my pinky actually feels good. Case feels solid and while some may not like the rubber sides, I've grown to like this about Nomad cases. The bottom is a little different too but offers a lot of protection. And unlike the Sena leather case, the camera lenses are protected.
I have decided against Apple leather cases because one light drop usually results in badly torn leather on an edge. (I usually only drop my cases on cement/gravel) - one reason why I like the rubber sides on this case.
Thanks to all those who upload pics - really enjoying this thread over the years.
Got a tip for us?

I don't like my California Poppy anymore...attracts a ton of dirt, even though the use is nothing but normal. Up/down from a jeans pocket and normal use in frequently washed hands.

Hahaha. My friend you gave me rollicking when i posted similar comment on a members post. I feel your pain.
I returned my California Poppy without even trying it on my Pro Max. Im ok with Patina but thats just colour transfer dirty etc.
Hows the ESR case?This is 9 days old 12 Pro Max Apple SB next to ESR blue leather case
Black with saddle brown. First ever leather case. Will be interesting to see how it ages.
Have this same combo, my absolute favorite combo, though I would like to see the product red and pacific blue. I think that combo would be great.
You are right. The reason is that Pro Max has bigger and thicker lenses.
XS Max saddle brown. Roughly 4 months in.
Is that saddle brown leather link developing any patina 🙃I have two leather cases and one silicone, no issues with all three.
Yes, those are natural striations in the cow hide, and also the effect of leather being stretched in the finishing process. Its actually proof this is genuine leather. Got similar streaks on mine:
I did come across this case looks a like good alternative for apples saddle brown
Did you buy the case to make some kind of fashion statement, or did you buy it to protect your phone? I have the poppy case and I knew going in that it would show wear just like the other cases.
