Finally got the Nomad in black delivered today after taking about ten days for FedEx 2 day delivery. Nice leather smell and fits perfectly. The buttons are a little hard to press, but that’s ok with me. One of my favorites now. Very happy with it.

magsafe?
 
What's thinner, Spigen liquid crystal or TORRAS Crystal Clear, the flexible one?

Glad you like it. How’s the navy? Care to post any pics? I almost ordered that one today. I’m still using my grey synthesis on my 12 Pro. Still loving it.

The Navy isn't bad - it's definitely dark and in certain light looks black. I just have too many other blue cases to justify it, so it's going back.

Here's a few pics:

Do you know any proven method that removes yellowish from transparent cases? I have Spigen's Hybrid Crystal Case and I'll keep an eye on the future!

Man, I can't believe Caudabe refuses to make the Synthesis for the 12 PM. I love my Sheaths, but the Synthesis has always been my favorite case. It infuriates me.

Another day of delays with no indication of when I'll receive my MagSafe Nomad.

This is crazy. USPS is usually pretty spot-on with their delivery predictions. Now I'm getting "you get it when it gets there" vibes.

Thanks for the posting the pics. I'll pass on the Navy. The Grey is definitely my favorite Synthesis color. The Stealth Black is nice, but the back is so dark that you can't see the Apple logo on my graphite 12 Pro. I agree, it is a huge bummer they aren't making this case for the 12PM. I think right now this case is my #1 out of the entire pile/collection I have of cases.

Got my Dbrand grip delivered today and i love it. Perfect grip, not too bulky and the magnets are quite strong.

Hmm... That's the opposite of my experience with the MagSafe grip. It was like it had no magnets in it. They refunded me on it.

Wow! Another case I’m going to have to try. That texture looks really nice along with the color.

Yes I must say the texture is quite nice to the touch. The sides are like the caudabe sheath in terms of texture and grip (having not owned a sheath I’m going by looks). The colour is a very nice colour. It sets itself off against the iPhone blue. You can see it's a different shade of blue and works really well.

As mentioned ideal for work and no need for a lanyard!

What's verdict? Strong grip?

This case has a nice, snug fit. It’s not a hard thing to get off the phone when you want to, though.
The sides and back are smooth, so it’s not a case that feels like it’s almost stuck to your hand like the Sheath does. The sides do have some grip to them, though. They aren’t slippery feeling.

How are the bottom cutouts? Are the holes on the the left and right of the speakers cutouts for lanyard or lanyard holes(built in eyelets, no cutouts feeding into the inside of the case)? Also, how much give is there?
Click to expand...
Bottom cutouts are symmetrical and do have the lanyard attachment cutouts. The case has a snug fit, but it’s not too tight. It’s not a struggle to get the case off of the phone. Not much give at all on the sides, top and bottom.

what about the MagSafe strength? As good as apples? Thank you 😉

I would say not as good as Apple's, but still very good. You can hold the cord in the air and the phone won't drop off of it. I had the phone on the MagSafe charger for maybe 15 seconds and the ring on the back was already visible. It wiped off, but something to keep in mind. That's why I keep using Qi chargers.

My only gripe was actually my fault. I failed to spot import duty so had to pay an extra £13 via the postal service which put the case at over £40!

For me, Otter Defender XT Pro is trash. I am sending it back. The camera cutout is horrendous! Way too big. And the lip around the camera is literally nano-meter higher than the lens! The humongous cutout is the biggest offender! How is it that they got the ANEU case camera cutout perfect and screw up on the Defender XT esp when Defender XT came out months after Aneu?!

I understand that the back plastic has to be thin for MagSafe…but damn, that thing gets scratched up AND marked up (just from the MagSafe charger) so easily. And there is ZERO cushioning on the backside. So, IF you drop your phone on its back, then you may have shatter back glass (which is more expensive to repair!). The ONLY thing protecting your back glass is a thin layer of cheap plastic.

The sides and front of case are fine. But, the MagSafe magnets are slightly weaker than Apple cases. So, be careful going over rough terrain with the case if you use Belkin car mount…esp if you have the heavy 12 pro Max AND the Otter XT case.

And the Otter ANEU is equally crappy. There is a seam that you can feel everytime you hold the case…seam is where the hard plastic back joins the side rubber. Expect this in a $10 Amazon case, not a $50 Case!

On my less than 1 day old case, there was ALREADY sag of the rubber over the charging port!

Otterbox has certainly gone downhill. WTF?!
