This is it for the 14 Pro & 14PM. There is only one in the package. It does not cover the actual lenses. Just makes everything flush around the lenses and I love the look of it.What’s on the camera lens mate? Care to link please

It’s still pretty far from that amazing patina on the Dune product page, but here’s mine after 6 weeks.
Wow! I really like that color!
Did anyone get the nomad leather case for their 14 series phone? I recently purchased one (still hasn’t come yet) but haven’t seen too much about it.
How do you like it?
Feel?
Good fit?

Andar have 25% off all their cases at the moment
Having a horween nomad on the 14 pro so slightly different. My thoughts:
- Feeling good, both leather and silicon but heavy and wide.
- Because slightly heavy also protrudes the pink finger.
- Fitment is mwoa, silver side of iPhone is on one side still visible. So not 100% good fitment. Maybe will tweak the case a little bit.
- Leather smells good but smell slightly disappears. Also leather prone to scratches but that’s patina. Microfiber inside is a big plus. Less scratchy.
Conclusion; good rugged case but heavy, wide, fitment could be better (in mine case). For working outside in tougher environment it’s good. For office use I’d recommend Ryan London, Bullstrap.
I originally got the modern leather case in brown for my 14 Pro, but then I contacted Nomad to see if I could exchange it for the English Tan color. The process was painless and they sent over the English Tan case. I love it, the buttons are super clicky and the drop protection is unparalleled to any other leather case. Last time I bought a Nomad Case was for the 11 Pro Max and the buttons weren't great at all. Now they are perfect. I'm glad I decided to go with one this time around. The fit is great, no worries that a corner will pop out or anything like that, and the patina has been great on these in the past. I'm actually using a Golden Brown wallet with it.

Had the same issue on my Nomad last year and have seen at least one other mention of this for this year's offering. Weird issue to see year over year; you'd think that would be an easy fix.
I purchased the Horween leather option, but it got lost in the mail, and while I was waiting I ordered the Andar. The Andar arrived, and I like it so much I have not even tried the Nomad case after it finally showed up.
That being said, I had last years Nomad case and this one looks a bit less chunky in that they beveled the edges, and the case material looks really nice. Planning to try it at some point, just can't put down the Andar yet.
Yes this is exactly why I ditched my Series 13 Pro Nomad case, disappointed to hear the same issue persists.
Damn, just ordered one of their cases last week. Already forgot to apply my 10% off code and now they're 25% off.
At least I'm happy with the case.
I bought a Nomad case for the 14 Pro, non Horween version, no fit issues at all.
If I felt like I needed a more protective case I would 100% own one of those in English Tan. It just seems like overkill for my needs though.
I agree that it can seem like a bit much. But I tried it out and felt this was the case for me this time around. English Tan really intrigued me. I’ve been disappointed with the Apple cases the last couple of years, and I’ve never tried any other leather brand besides Apple or Nomad. Honestly I feel it’s not much bulkier than an Apple case.
Nomad thickness is similar, it's a touch wider, it's taller which is the big diff v apples leather, also tougher on the pinky
Great! thank you for the information, I like the feel of leather when holding my phone. I have used the apple leather case for years but want something with a little more drop protection. The Otterbox Symmetry is too bulky this year and the apple leather case is a great size. I just would like something in between and want something. I am pretty excited to try it out.
Looking forward to seeing them on the phone.
The blue is stunning. Buttons perfect and MagSafe is fine.
The black one is faulty. Buttons are super stiff. Hopefully will get a replacement.
