I’m looking to purchase the new wrap around leather case from Nomad for the iPhone 16 pro. I can’t decide which leather option, traditional vs horween, is the right option for me. Does anyone have experience the two Nomad leather options? Any patina pictures will be much appreciated!
Got a tip for us?

Nomad Traditional Leather Vs Horween Leather

Horween is a higher quality leather, however it's also a different leather as well, in that it ages with different character.
The traditional leather is (I think) Ecco leather sourced from Holland commonly, where as the Horween Leather is from America. Horween is softer, and in turn it marks easier with dents and scratches where as traditional leather will show a more common patina over time and is a little more robust to scratches etc.
