It is unique character of a leather case as each one is with different texture that will help to create a unique patina later. That being said, I would return it if the return process is easy. Also bought a Saddle Brown case yesterday and mine is perfect without those marks as yours
Thanks for the feedback. I will call Apple to check it out.

you can try to contact Apple Support by calling them. Also if you are requesting for replacement, try to ask them to send you the replacement first instead of waiting for the returned to reach baru send out the replacement.
Sure let me check with them.

Yeah, in retrospect I should have just went with the Apple option. Oh well

Get one now and sell the Nomad later.

Perhaps you pressed a little too hard when you installing the case hence the lines appeared. I believe they will be gone after a while.
Have been using the leather case since the phone launched. Sometimes my case will have these lines too but they disappeared after a while. I think this is unavoidable even you change to a new one.
The lines were there before I installed it on my phone...
But noted on your feedback.

There are a lot of local resellers selling Nomad here, don't have to buy from overseas.
Rich

Because it was much cheaper, hence bought it overseas.

That’s how I justify all my purchases, trying to convince myself all the time.
