Their customer service was great when I was inquiring and had questions before I received my item. It’s been two weeks and 2 emails. Nothing. I will stick to BS, ANDAR or APPLE going forward.
It’s funny you say that. I was having issues with BS and their customer service
 
Where are you from? For me is nothing :(. Ordered november 22.
Actually they have send me another link for tracking the package and it was working. Dont worry, I am sure your case is on its way to your country. I am your northern neighbour, so I am sure you will receive yours in a day or two.
 
anyone wanna share how their nomad cases patina overtime?
I don’t know if this is patina or if the case is just dirty but here’s my Nomad case in the Natural color. I’ve had it on since late October. I would welcome any suggestions on how to clean the case. Or, is this how it‘s supposed to look as it ages?

no that's perfect, don't clean it or add any oils or anything. That's how it's supposed to look ideally lol
 
Looks so good.
Surprised you are happy with the bottom cutouts and buttons, must have improved?
Every time I look at my Mrs 12 max brown folio I want a brown but always end up getting black lol.
I still have my 12 max black nomad.
My only real neg is they are taller than the apple leather.

There is a case called Journey that is similar to nomads I have been eyeing off, has no buttons so you use the phones.
 
Did your leather case get sticky at all especially around the sides? I've had mine for a little bit and recently it has gotten this sticky texture that I haven't had with any of my previous leather cases.
Last years was the same is this years, worse in summer here now with heat/humidity. This is when the Nomads case wins with the rubber sides.

Are sou sure? Customer service answer, 2 days ago:


Thank you for contacting Team Bullstrap! Given the recent supply chain delays that have impacted the timeframe for our Batch 2 and the remainder of the iPhone 13 case orders, to be completely honest, we are unsure when we will receive the 2nd batch of the iPhone 13 cases. We sincerely apologize for everything! What happened was, there was a shipping delay with the iPhone cases. The cases were shipped to us from our manufacturer and somewhere along the way, the cases were shipped back to the sender so we had to wait longer for the cases to arrive. Rest assured, the cases are now on their way back to us; although, we do not have a guaranteed date when we will receive them and ship them out.

Seeing that the cases are on their way to us, I would give the fulfillment team a couple of weeks to receive, process, and ship out orders. With that being said, I don't think your order will arrive before Christmas. Please let me know how you'd like to proceed!”

Still see the same on the tracking page, last update on november 23. :(

I ordered for iPhone 12 Pro...

That's why I prefer skins instead of cases because the case gets so dirty quickly and puts on extra weight on my 13 Pro Max which is already a heavy phone. So I bought these leather phone skins from Gadgetshieldz which is thin & grippy and it gives good protection against scratches and dents.

Golden Brown 13 Pro in natural light. It wore out quite a bit on the edges, and it started to look a lot like those 12 Pro cases, but the Color wasn’t black this time, but a good woody brown.
I went ahead and used a cloth to rub out the rest of the back, and I feel it looks a lot better now. Hoping for it to become more uniform in the future
 
A "pro" tip for you..."p

Use a horse hair shoe brush and start brushing those scratches.. it do comes off and looks "shiny" after..


Yep…also I’d suggest Venetian Shoe Cream, apply it and let it haze up then buff with that horsehair brush.
Leather will look better than new

Yes, the cutouts on the bottom feel different to me this year, which is strange because I don't recall seeing it mentioned previously.

Are you satisfied with the power button? On mine this is not so fix…”clicky”, so loud without press it.

Not sure what you mean by the second part but yeah, I'm happy with it. Much more responsive than previous years.
