Hello, anyone who's been using leather case can give me some advice ? This will be my first time ever trying out a leather case because I love the patina that will be unique to each individual.
Been doing some research and watch some youtubes, Nomad & Apple seems to come tie to tie, with Nomad winning slightly due to their protection and durability, anyone like to chip in ? |

QUOTE(nate_nightroad @ Jan 11 2022, 03:16 PM) The quality of the leather is really nice to hold and touch. However, if you are the person that change phone every year then it’s not worth it. My iphone 12 is going for the long run this time, which is why i decided to get the leather case I'm like you, one iPhone use many years. I plan to use my iPhone 12 for 6-7 years at the very least, my last phone was iPhone 6. So I think I would be fine with the leather.For the patina, maybe you can get the brown color or lighter colour leather to really see the patina. I got the dark blue leather case, the patina is bit hard to spot I've read some comments that Apple's leather case while it's really satisfying to hold and touch, but their patina doesn't patina at all or won't patina beautifully, ur thoughts ? |

QUOTE(andrewtho @ Jan 11 2022, 10:19 PM) Nomad leather cases Patina really well, been a Nomad user for many years - their leather is less delicate compared to Apple's leather case. Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, may I know is there any particular model from Nomad ?I currently own the Leather Case for iPhone 13 Pro Max and upon holding it for the first time, I can already tell that this leather will not last - just by holding it you can feel some moisture from your hands seeping into the leather  Never had the same issue with Nomad's cases - the only downside with Nomad is the thick-@ss bumper vs Apple's slim profile. |
