I used to have to move my pinky to the side on my 12 max nomad after awhile using it, hard to beat the apple leather for a soft bottom lol, it's not as compact and taller v apples too.
But then apples is a stickfest here now in heat/humidity, hard to win.

I concur. IMO the Apple Golden Brown looks much nicer, after wiping the coating, than Nomad: no marks or scuffs, whereas Nomad is too vulnerable to scratches. Indeed I might try the same treatment (Ethanol + leather conditioner) on the Dark Cherry
haha, you should see my Mrs brown folio, rolls around in her handbag all day.
Here you go her brown and my black 12 max after a year.
The scratches nicks and bumps are a as much of a characteristic to leather as the change in color after months of use. Real quality leather will do that, my boots, wallet etc. all have scratches and nicks, that’s how it is naturally
Curious to see what that treatment would look like on Dark Cherry. Do keep us posted ??
Nomad case, about a month old with day old Nomad watch band.
They feel the same.. at least from what I can tell.

Damn! this is so dirty, leather observes all sweat and dirt on our hands so it will easily get dirty like this. The same goes for the leather wallets too which I've been using for just a month and it got so dirty.
I worked on this a little more, looks soooo much better, the brown is so good. The lighting isn’t the same now, I’ll try posting it again with the same lighting but here’s the current state
That looks like something that came out of my bottom this morning…oh wait, that would be an insult to my turd!
That looks pretty sick dude. Did u just use a booth to scrub it, or sand pape?
Get out of here with that. Opinions are welcome but how in the world did you think that sounded okay? Let’s see your case. S*** like that is what’s wrong with the world these days.
ANYWAY, Nomad case next to the wife’s birthday present. We’re both looking forward to the patina on that bag.
I agree... I find the cases always look worse in photos too. Everyones taste is different. The patina on that bag is going to look amazing!
I think before whoever want to comment here should take a look or read the title of this thread again.
Regarding the nomad case. Are the buttons wobbly/or have play? Also does the case collect a lot of lint as the original silicone one that I use is a lint magnet.
