Congrats and welcome to gang-Graphite 😂

It ages well, the more you look at it, the sexier it becomes.
Tempting but I will hold off Nomad cases until Magsafe is available. Now all my cases MUST have Magsafe.

Noman is thicker and offer better protection than apple leather. But the hand feel lose to Apple leather cz it uses tougher hide.

Yup for sure, but Nomad is also bulkier.

I’ve owned the past 2 iterations of Nomad cases and they were always my favorite, the side bumpers are thicker too. But the leather they are using is Horween leather, abit rougher compared to Apple’s.

One thing about leather case, it is prone to tear and sharp scratch. Sakit hati when see those micro dents and scratch. Maybe need an extra case to protect the leather case.

Haha - a case for a case... that is next level laugh.gif

Option 1: Buy both
Option 2: If you got the blue iPhone, buy Baltic Blue
Option 3: If you got the other colors, buy Saddle Brown
Option 4: Just ignore me and go to the store, see what's available, god may decide for you.
Option 5: Repeat Option 1 to 4

Thanks for the very smart idea. laugh.gif

If u in deep dilemma, don't choose both, go for California Poppy, No more headache  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif

Let's joke aside, personal advise will go for baltic blue, saddle brown seems too mature to handle (Saddle brown owner, pls don't blast me)

Hahaha. I’m not that young anymore either but thanks for the suggestion. tongue.gif

QUOTE(moniqee @ Nov 28 2020, 06:23 AM)
Get Baltic blue??? They said won’t see the color darken quickly compared to saddle brown unless u like to see patina then saddle brown
*
I actually want to see patina, that’s the whole purpose. laugh.gif

QUOTE(mycolumn @ Nov 28 2020, 08:53 AM)
Should get it. 😉 Reason: it will last the lifetime of your phone because leather aged well - it darkens evenly and nicely.

For color, your personal choice. If phone is graphite, both saddle brown and baltic blue will match. If phone is pacific blue, i feel baltic blue matches the phone better than saddle brown. But that's jz my preference la. 😅 And also i nvr have a blue leather item before, so i jz buy it and see how it patina. 😝

Yeah, I find Pacific Blue has limited choices of colours when it comes to matching casings.

QUOTE(ahlin @ Nov 28 2020, 09:22 AM)
Buy both from Apple store, try wearing it and see which one you prefer and return the least favourable one.  biggrin.gif

Wait, can we really do it?

If you’re looking for slim patina leather back case for brown/light brown which does not discoloured so much after putting in slim/tight jeans, perhaps can survey Bellroy case.
Used on 11 pro, its patina much slower compared to Mous Contour brown case. Its pretty slim.
Plan to get one for 12pm but the baltic blue leather from apple seems so attractive hence i skip the bellroy.

On 11 pro, it does not button (kinda annoyed) but 12 series have it.
The border always tpu in black.
Lip coverage for bezel pretty minimum hence definitely need tg to protect ur screen.

I’m using Hoda Sapphire, installed on 13th Nov when I got my iPhone. Tag me like one month later.

I shred through my tempered glass and PET screen protector. Oleo coating on PET don’t last long for me.

Yup. Sapphire coating last longer. My IMOS on older iPhone lasting till now. 1 year. I decided HODA cause imos is rm250 and hoda now is rm200. Friend recommended HODA sapphire. (Avoid other HODA stuff, there are better options)
