Nomad - Leather Folio Case for Apple® iPhone® 8 Plus - Brown

I have had my case for a few months now and it is very well crafted, and has held together better then other cases I've had in the past. I have 9 cards crammed in it and it does not feel or look over filled. It has survived a few drops with no visible damage. It does seem to scratch easily but it gives it a worn look after awhile. only 4 stars because it does not stand up like my old wallet case. So you have to prop it up on stuff.

I wanted a simple cover for my iPhone 7 Plus and I am happy with the one I bought.

I would recommend this iPhone 7 plus case, it is very elegant and a really good quality. The color is perfect.

I bought this case 9 months ago. I baby my phone so it has never been dropped or subjected to any harsh conditions. On day, pulling this case out of my coat pocket, my phone came flying out and tumbled to the ground resulting in damage to the outside. How did this happen? Because the thin, poor-quality plastic Nomad used had failed and a corner of the case had broken off, allowing the phone to slip free. Upon closer inspection I saw that ALL FOUR CORNERS had cracked and failed. So, I paid $50 to use a case for 9 months which eventually dropped my phone onto the ground. I also noticed that the leather they use is actually an extremely thin leather veneer covering a clear plastic backing. Hmmm... You expect a case to last AT LEAST the 2 years between carrier upgrades, right? Not this one. Even worse, it will fail in a way that endangers your phone, allowing it to fly free at a moments notice. It's too bad, the idea is excellent but the execution is let down by extremely poor quality materials.

Unfortunately, be high-quality leather on the exterior of this case is let down by cheap interior materials, and a case holder that begins to crack in less than a month of regular use.

I'm a bit of a compulsive iPhone case buyer. Each time I buy one, it's almost just right but some detail ends up bothering me. Often the balance between protection and sleekness is the hard one to find. But with this Folio Wallet case I've hit my sweet spot. With this case holding my cards and enough room for a bit of cash (not to mention ApplePay which I use more and more often), I have stopped carrying a separate wallet, and it does streamline me. It also protects the screen but without the irritation of something applied to the glass (I always ended up peeling it off and Zagg has made a lot of money off of me). The leather is just right for my taste. Rugged but not bulky.

I had been looking at this phone case among others for quite some time and this one kept standing out to me. I finally decided to purchase this case and it has exceeded my expectations. The leather is great and I can hold up to 6 cards as well as some cash. If you decide to put 6 cards in the case it will get crammed but it can hold that. I usually just keep 3 and some cash and it is the best. Highly recommend this product and it has been nothing but awesome for me so far!

First, the color out of the box is actually a medium brown, not the lighter saddle color on the box. Perfect for me, maight be disappointing to someone expecting light brown. I've had it for two weeks and the aging process is working - the leather is high quality. I used a little leather conditioner on it and that did darken the leather a little, but that is a look I want. Holds three cards securely. I am not willing to put any more than that in there. The money pocket behind the cards will keep a couple buisness cards plus an additional card. I rarely carry cash though I could without any problem. There are no magnets on the cover. But I haven't found the loose cover to be an issue with the number of cards I carry. It took me about a half a minute to adjust to taking pictures with the flap open - again not a big deal to me. Someone else wrote in a review that it actually helped stabilize the camera a bit and I've found that to be true for me too. From a protection standpoint, it fits snugly in the hard plastic saddle. The case itself may absorb some punishment, but it isn't in the same class as the OtterBox, Speck, and others with drop ratings. However, the leather is quality and tough. I've dropped it from about 3ft onto a hardwood floor and there was no visible damage to the case or phone. Overall, I feel it's a very quality product that will protect my phone while the look keeps developing more and more character
