They did a great job given what they had to work with, but this button is already flush with the body, and it's a very small space. You really need to jam your finger in there to make it do anything. The "touch" sliding functions are pretty useless at this point, but with a cutout are almost impossible to use.
Swell. I have acrylic nails (not the long ones mind you) but yeah I’ll have to swap the case when they “redo” it. It’ll be ok. For a bit…

My husbands RL wasn’t unmanageable at all. If it’s like that I can make it work
 
Casebelle has two types of leather cases: one nappa (timeless luxe) and one full grain oil-wax (vintage luxe). Has anyone a first hand experience on how different they feel and look?
I have the vintage luxe in blue. Check my media history 👍
 
I agree. Sharp button edges and all! I bought an Andar and returned it because the buttons were so sharp. Then, I bought the Le Pelle - same issue. So, I filed the buttons at the edges with a very fine sandpaper. Now it is perfect.
I’ve never got an owwie from the buttons

They should have deburred the edges of the buttons by adding rounds or chamfering on each one. The metal buttons help to make it easier to press on the button but it should not cause a mark on your finger.

What colour phone do you have? I’m thinking of taking advantage of the early bird sale, but can’t decide between the 2 browns for my black phone, and I’m not buying both.

Ive got the Natural Titanium, i think either would give you great results. 👍🏻
 
Need advice from people who have good taste! I have the white phone. I currently have the Terra on order but now I’m starting to like the black. Which one looks better? Thanks guys!!

I prefer the Terra. Brown patinas in a far more interesting way and (over time) you effectively get a case with multiple shades. IMHO lots more character. And it’ll end up almost black, well, a very dark brown, in the end.

Agreed, but you can't really go wrong with either.

Actually not the Terra which is why I started second guessing. Their Terra goes lighter…found on Reddit their customer service chat just told me it did that too. It’s really specific for the Terra color. I’d prefer darker patina not lighter

Thanks! Love the leather but what’s with these super wide and deep button cutouts for the speakers?

That’s my one gripe with the Nomad Modern cases. I love the case in general, and it is quite protective (I make sure to get Nomad cases for my kids phones). But I think they could have made it a little thinner, especially around the bottom.

They now make a Traditional case, which is all leather and thinner, but the camera button cutout is atrocious.

I’ve ordered a Bullstrap contemporary case in ocean, hopefully will get it in a few weeks.

I was leaning towards sepia, but now thinking the amber might be nicer. I had forgotten I had the umber Apple leather case on my old 14 PM (black). That combo was pretty nice from memory.

Devisions, decisions, lol.
 
Are there any rumors floating around about any leather case makers that are planning to add a capacitive camera control button?
