Leather Cases - Patina Proud Photos

Any leather case will show the ring eventually, I have Nomad traditional leather case and I put paper napkin between MagSafe charger and phone. Charges perfectly and will reduce heat damage to the case.

Yea my Keyway case on my 15 Pro eventually started showing an outline of the ring, but it took months and was mostly subtle.

This is after a week on the Belemay, and after I already tried wiping/message it out (got there near the top). The white spots are shiny - thats just the light hitting them for the picture. I'm guessing built up wax from the heat? Either way, not something I had to deal with with my last case, so perhaps the sensitivity of the crazy horse leather is not for me.

FWIW, I emailed them right away and said I learned the stock might not be real and to cancel the order if it’s not in stock. They indicated that it is in stock and will ship out Monday, this is for the standard Pro version. YMMV, and it remains to be seen if this is true; I’ll update on status early this week!

Did yours actually end up shipping out Monday?

So I’ve had the Nomad Traditional English Tan for about two weeks and the Ryan London Saddle Brown for about 5 days.

Main differences;

Leather feels more like actual leather on the RL. The Nomad (it isn’t the Horween, it’s the Ecco) feels smoother and finished with something?

The camera ring is taller/protrudes more on the Ryan. Not quite as tidy looking as it protrudes beyond the lenses but ultimately doesn’t matter. Nomad sets it directly against the leather whereas the RL has the leather sort of curving up before the ring begins. The metal ring is sharper on the RL but the buttons are sharper on the Nomad.

Tighter fit on the RL for me. The Nomad is a little loose which I notice as I set it down and pull it from a pocket etc. I wanted to try another Nomad but can’t find any in stock in this colour!

The colour. The RL is a much nicer brown out of the box. The Nomad looks a bit more like, well, poo brown. I had a Ryan in this colour on my 15 Pro which had a lovely patina and I’m sure the Nomad would also darken beautifully over time… I think?

I feel like the RL makes the phone feel heavier so I weighed them and it’s actually a gram lighter so… who knows?

Buttons are clickier on the Nomad but hoping they’ll soften in time on the RL. Camera Control is fine on both - less reactive/clicky on the Ryan which works for me as Nomad’s is maybe a little soft.

RL definitely has more of a lip which ties into the Nomad looking a little more sleek as it’s all a little smaller and tighter to the form of the phone but it’s ultimately next to nothing. I’d say the RL is around 0.5-1mm thicker overall. The majority of that is not the lip though. Not sure if the leather or shell underneath is thicker?

Nomad is sleeker feeling though I feel like the leather on the RL feels more premium. The leather lacks the uniformity of the Nomad - in a good way - though hoping this’ll change as the Nomad ages.

Overall I really want to love the Nomad but I’m leaning toward the Ryan just now but guess I’ll just keep both and see how they go. The RL just feels and looks more like I’d expect of a premium leather case, particularly the leather feel and tight fit but the Nomad does feel a touch slimmer.

Apologies for the blurry photos. I only realised when I uploaded as I took quickly!

Nomad Traditional Leather in Brown, Compared to Apple tech woven case. This is the first time I am using the case on the phone since apple discontinued the leather case but 17PM is too slippery to use without case.
Have used few leather case like Shieldon/iCarer and Nomad is the best one, doesn't add bulk, have slim profile and leather is super high quality.

Someone start a petition for Apple to bring back leather. Preferably not that leather made from cucumbers or whatever they switched to. Anything would be better than this canvas bag material they call tech woven smh.

The only problem I have with Ryan London is that a small drop of water lands on it and it bubbles up in less than 2 seconds. Not the case with andar or any other brand I’ve tried. But besides that I do prefer the feel of the Ryan London. Feels high quality

I got a tracking number a few hours ago.

I sent an email inquiring about the status yesterday, to open the convo about cancelling, given I was supposed to receive tracking early this week. Still haven't received a response to that or tracking information.

I see, I’m gonna do a few speed tests to see if there’s a difference in signal. Really disappointing since I’m liking the look and feel of the case (I have the tech wave blue)

*Edit: ran a few tests in an area with poor signal and strong signal. Speed is pretty much identical which is a huge relief.

I own the base black 17 (not a fan of pro colors) so I’ll upload photos at one month of ownership in case anyone is wondering how the blue patinas!!
