Nomad for sure.

Horween leather is considered one of the best leather grades, been buying Nomad cases for all my iPhones and over time the color became darker and rugged.

This time might skip because of Magsafe 🤪

Used nomad on my iphone X and would rate that case the best ive had. Right now using blue apple leather case to match with my pacific blue. Time will tell which one ages better. But no regret bought nomad earlier

Nice. Did you get the wallet case? smile.gif

Nomad ages better for sure, but the side polycarbonate body kinda make the phone thicker. While Apple's leather case give better feeling. Nonetheless, both are great casing.

Nomad age better in my opinion.  leather patina looks like a dirty case. some may like it but not me. That's y i go for black  leather this year, and the year before.

But yes Nomad side bumper is a lil bit thick as it provides security for 10ft fall. I have both Nomad and  leather for my pro max. I prefer  leather grip more
*
QUOTE(moodytea @ Nov 15 2020, 08:59 PM)
prefer the apple leather case
1) side is also cover in leather
2) best button in any case
3) compatible with magsafe
4) slimmer & lighter

choose saddle brown if you are getting the apple's, the only color that ages well.
*
Oh, the Nomad side is PC? Didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been watching some videos and it does age rather nicely. Maybe I’ll ask my wife to decide if she wants the ori Apple leather or the Nomad but that will kinda spoil it coz it’s meant to be a Christmas gift, haha....

On a side note, I charged my 12 Pro Max with my old 12W iPad charger last night - from 17% to 100% took 3.5 hours! Hahaha... Definitely go with the USB PD option

Nope, never did for any of my previous iPhones over the years.

I went to machines yesterday, wanted to compare the apple and nomad leather cases. I ended up buying a watch instead of phone case. Really strong poison

The Watch probably cost close to 10x the cost of the leather case laugh.gif

My goodness, still got scalpers trying to scalp Iphone. Who would still buy from them? doh.gif 

A friend got his 12 Pro Max Blue from MacCity yesterday and he told me it was ready stocks.
*
Hahaha... I like how he didn't flinch at all when posting "collect from Mac City".. He does realise people can buy directly from Mac City cheaper right? Times are bad, bro. Even scalpers need to earn some money.

A friend of mine posted this article on FB and shared the author's viewpoint that Malaysians are still spending money on "insanely expensive" iPhones despite the tough economy. I told him off privately - Not everyone is affected the same way by the pandemic, some businesses are booming, some are making more money now than compared to before the pandemic, hahaha. Point being as long as you know what you can afford and you spend within your means, then you should be fine.

Yeah, but he started selling before MY launch, too bad can't clear stock..

I agree, the people queuing up to collect iPhone 12 do not represent the entire population of Malaysia, probably just 1%, most of my friends who upgraded were coming from 6S/7/8 so it's reasonable.
*
Can't clear stock but selling more expensive than RRP, not sure if that is a successful strategy laugh.gif

Yeah, exactly, it's a very small sample of the population that are in the queues....

Yeah, idk why still above RRP.

Stock isn't limited and people are willing to wait because it's just a matter of days before you get the phone if you order from Apple.
*
I did check Apple online yesterday for a 12 Pro Max 128GB Pacific Blue - it shows ships in 2-3 weeks. Still, that's not a very long waiting time. Definitely better than paying RM500-RM700 extra!

On Saturday i went to 4 Maxis Stores, Pacific Blue 12 Pro Max
TTDI (11.40am)  > The Curve IPC > Bangsar > Nu Sentral (2.30pm)

All sold out but only TTDI asked me to put down name.
At 3,30pm TTDI really called back and reserved 1 unit for my wife. Today got the phone......14/11 > 16/11 few days only. Kudos to Maxis.
When  TTDI open shop today already left 12 and Mini only. So it's all reserved, don't walk in.

Now need to hunt for a Non contract unit for sub line
*
Congrats on getting the phone! Did you get the storage size you wanted? I booked a 128GB 12 Pro Max Pacific Blue but the maxis outlet that took our name called us and told us only the 256GB available but we grabbed it anyway.

I posted on FB when I first got my iPhone. Hey it is my wall, so I have the right. So what happened was one of my university friends replied to the comment and said iPhone is nice in a way but she will still opt for Android. Then, I replied I'm not sure if I will like it too because it is also my first time using it. Another friend replied, "money spent sure will like it la".

Well, I don't even bother to reply the second friend. rolleyes.gif My industry is not affected and in fact booming so while I sympathize other people's encounter during this pandemic (one of my sisters is also affected) but you they just can't simply assume everyone is affected and our purchase is not justified.. My sister's income is affected but she was the one encouraged me to get from Digi instead of stopping me to buy it. laugh.gif
9 in total actually. I have their credit cards. biggrin.gif
*
Yeah, true. While we feel for those affected by the pandemic, not everyone is affected the same. Anyways, as long as it is within our means, no one should be passing any judgement.

Gosh 9 credit cards?? That's a lot... I have 6 and I thought that was too many already! I've now embarked on a mission to cut down on the credit cards coz of the RM25 service tax per card...

Haha, ok. I think there probably was a limited number of Pro and Pro Max units available at all outlets over the weekend as it was the launch weekend. The supply will probably be better over the next two to three weeks smile.gif

The case looks nice and something different. How much is it?

My spigen case arrived today. Black case with card slot behind. I hope the grids inside the case won’t “stain” the phone. Anyway, looking for a flip case. Been using nomad but thinking to try a different brand.

Nope. Haven’t pulled the trigger. The Apple online store is showing dec delivery dates. I’m not in a hurry though as long as I buy the phone by this year. smile.gif

How is your phone so far? Saw your post in the maxis thread.
*
Ahh Ok. I’m sure the stock situation will be much improved by December smile.gif The phone is going good so far, pretty much everything you’d expect from an iPhone. The battery life is better than I thought it would be, seeing it’s just a 36xx mAh battery. On WiFi it’s doing 8-9 hours screen time with 20-30% battery life remaining. Pretty solid.
