I have exactly the same combination 😊 I’ve tried so many leather cases over the years, like Ryan London, Mujjo, Decoded, Ridge or Bullstrap, and I gotta say, this traditional one from Nomad is really well done! Premium feel, top notch fit and finish. You just feel the quality holding it in your hand. Definitely one of my all time favorites. Great job Nomad!
I've had numerous Nomad cases over the years paired with numerous iPhones, and this one feels by far the least sturdy. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful and handles great. BUT - the massive camera cutout makes for an overall structural design flaw in my opinion. Not quite sure what else they could have done given the camera button is now so dynamic, but the lower-right portion of my phone now basically slips out a bit depending on how I'm holding it. And sometimes even the entire bottom feels a little loose. Again, not quite sure what else they could have done, but all my previous Nomad cases gave me extreme piece of mind due to their snug fit. This one - if I ever drop it - my heart will definitely skip a beat....
Yeah that’s definitely a concern, will have to see long term how it does. I can say that for my case it feels snug and I haven’t experienced that corner slipping out at all. I also managed to drop my phone a couple times and it didn’t come out of the case but definitely it’s a point of less structural rigidity Just like the action button last year the camera capture creates a unique hurdle for accessory makers to adjust to. I assume the button will stick around for many years so eventually we’ll get updated cases. Meanwhile I will update if I have any problems with this version of the nomad case
Not a bad call. I’ve used the silicone case for a couple weeks and it’s already beginning to show some wear, and for me the feel just isn’t as organic and nice as a good leather case. So I’m happy with the nomad one as my daily and the apple silicone as occasional If nomad updates their case that’ll be the best of both worlds
@@KaziIslam I totally understand what you mean. The silicone cases start looking like $1 knock offs after a while with oil marks. Btw you can get them replaced from Apple within 1 year if it’s peeling or breaking.
@@KaziIslam Forgot to ask this. Does your silicone case misalign a bit on the speaker grills? Mine seem to hide a bit of the top part of the speaker grill.
I’ve never tried this but might give it a shot in a few months. I hear it depends on who’s helping you at the Apple Store. But I know my silicone case already has a tiny chip in one corner and I’m not sure how, never dropped it that I can remember
that’s great! I wonder if they’ll offer any coupon or incentive to anyone who purchased a previous version (like myself 😅) I’m a fan of their cases and would definitely prefer a sapphire covered button
@@KaziIslam oh if you put it to the cart add your email and then don’t check out they will mail you a few days later with a 15% coupon. I would wait. They told me sapphire button cases are coming in 2025. Till then this one should last you.
That’s fair! I would prefer if it had a fully covered integrated button like apple’s case but after a couple of days I think I’m used to this cutout. Definitely doesn’t feel as seamless though
@@OFF15 yeah 💯 before the apple leather case used to be my default and then I’d pair it with some other silicone type case for the few times I knew I might need some more protection. Its surprising that they discontinued their own FineWoven option but haven’t replaced it with some other premium material
Yeah the lip isn’t very deep. I don’t mind it for leather cases which in general aren’t meant to be real rugged protection imo. I’d prefer a slim profile. But yes you’d need to look into other options if you want your phone sitting deeper in the case
Fair enough! Mine came out to just about 72 after taxes and shipping. I know their horween version starts at $80 which yeah is starting to get up there

I agree, the case looks and feels premium, nomad did a good job
i have been using black Nomad Horween modern leather case for my 15 Pro for 9 months now. Really love it. Patina develops nicely
Nice thats good to know! I think the traditional leather case will similarly age nicely. I’ll update in a few months!
Love the color
its a nice deep brown color, almost maroon which I hear is the color of the season

I got the silicone case for now from apple. Waiting for the sapphire glass version of Nomad.
Not a bad call. I’ve used the silicone case for a couple weeks and it’s already beginning to show some wear, and for me the feel just isn’t as organic and nice as a good leather case.

@@jabirmkabir yep mine is the same. The speaker holes are very slightly off

I chose the Bellroy instead - I don't like the NOMAD camera button cutout in the hand
Bellroy cases look good too! You don’t find it difficult to poke the finger into the camera capture cutout?
@@KaziIslam it’s not bad the case cutout is gradual which fits your finger pretty easily into
Nomad confirmed to me that they are working on sapphire button case versions, but that they wouldn’t arrive until 2025.
that’s great! I wonder if they’ll offer any coupon or incentive to anyone who purchased a previous version (like myself 😅)

The traditional leather case comes in a Horween version now. Just received mine last it and the leather smell is strong.
Yeahh I see that! That’s awesome, would definitely have considered the horween option at the time
Nice review.. would you mind sharing your wallpaper? TIA
Yes for the low price of $50/year you can subscribe to my wallpa..
Jk lol see if this link works

@@KaziIslam Lol. Link worked, thanks :)
bought the same one and the cutout doesnt feel nice for me :/ I think I will stay with standard build
That’s fair! I would prefer if it had a fully covered integrated button like apple’s case but after a couple of days I think I’m used to this cutout. Definitely doesn’t feel as seamless though
@@KaziIslam such a pity that Apple didn’t get us leather cases this year.. or at least alcantara from recycled materials lol
@@OFF15 yeah 💯 before the apple leather case used to be my default and then I’d pair it with some other silicone type case for the few times I knew I might need some more protection.

Again Nomad f up everything, no screen protection…no deal.
Yeah the lip isn’t very deep. I don’t mind it for leather cases which in general aren’t meant to be real rugged protection imo. I’d prefer a slim profile. But yes you’d need to look into other options if you want your phone sitting deeper in the case
$80 a bit too much, bellroy would be my choice
Fair enough! Mine came out to just about 72 after taxes and shipping. I know their horween version starts at $80 which yeah is starting to get up there
This case looks like ...
