The bottom gap on the nomad is to fit their wrist strap. Inside the case there is a space for it like a square. I know it’s just a useless feature to force on users.
Got a tip for us?

Also PSA on the nomad traditional case.
Im glad i returned mine, they need to work on their charge port
Wow. I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't change the lip on the front to be flush. If they're going to do it on purpose, at least make the bottom lip taller to offset it.
The same thing happened to mine the first time I removed that case (as gently as I could). Contact Nomad support and they'll send you a replacement.Also PSA on the nomad traditional case.
I received a tracking number last Thursday, but it is still pre-shipment. Worst buying experience I have had in a very long time. But I still want it lol
My buddy just upgraded to the 17pro and was nice enough to give me back the 11pro I sold him 5 years ago. Well the first thing I did was go online and found an authentic Apple saddle brown leather case and it arrived today. Man, I forgot how nice these were before the 12 series, the leather is just so nice. I also forgot how slippery they were fresh out of the box. I don’t know how much it will patina because I’m not going to be holding it much but I had to get one for the nostalgia. I’ll take some comparison pics with other 2 brown cases I had for the 15pro, lucky coin and Keyway, when I have some more time.

Apple Leather cases were top notch. I still don’t understand why they discontinued them
Leather is a by product of an animal in this case it was vegan leather which I believe was natural
Same, I'm willing to wait, but at least give me an update.
Just got an email that it won’t ship until 11/5. I’ll be sure to remember to order next time as early as possible and just wait.
The Ryan London after about a month
I ordered on 9/19 and I’m in the same boat, so I’m not sure it matters when you order with them 🤷🏻♂️ I also got shipping “confirmation” on Thursday (it still says it’s in pre-shipment). And I haven’t received any update except for the copy-paste one that others got about how sorry they are, unforeseen demand, etc. bla bla bla 🙄
I can’t imagine being two days after release day put me so far down on the cue that I should be getting cases at the same time (or later than) people who ordered after me, even factoring in My location (Vermont). But whatever, I just hope it’s a keeper. It does seem like they’ve done a bit of a bait and switch with the design, so I’m guessing there were significant last minute design and/or supplier issues behind the scenes. I’m actually glad the interior isn’t bright blue (at least if any of it showed through in the cutouts), though I would have liked speaker holes rather than slots. We shall see…
I am hoping that the changes mean a better product than being sent a rushed product. Maybe the initial batch arrived in Texas and after their inspection, they didn't like something and that could be better for us.
Both the Torro and Dockem leather cases had terrible fit on my iPhone 17 Pro.
They were so incredibly tight that they both bowed in the middle. The corners were barely protected while the mid section had a lot of lip sticking up. I struggled to get them back off my phone.
Are we expected to treat the leather and hope it stretches or something just to fit the phone?
