For those that want to know the weight of the cases because I forgot to mention it in the video:

Nomad: 40g
Andar: 39g

My bad customer service experience with Nomad and the lack of quality control on the products they have sent me lately would definitely move the needle for me to the Andar.

Thank you so much for these videos. Your criteria for judging the cases makes your reviews so far ahead of the competition. I like that both cases don’t have logos on the back of them. I would choose the Andar simply because it’s leather all the way around the phone. I wish the ring around the camera was metal, like the buttons. I would definitely be willing to pay a premium for that, as it would literally be the perfect case.

Edit: I stand corrected. The ring is aluminum. This makes it the perfect case!

Had the nomad for about 8 months. The leather started to separate at the point where the rubber edge meets the leather started to peel away. Ordered the Andar aspen a few weeks ago and I am much happier with the full wrap around leather, the quality and the price I’d say are worth it. I’m sure I’ll come back to update this comment in a few months but already much happier with the andar.

Fall 2023 will be the first year I have not gotten an Apple leather case because Apple is abandoning leather. I am shopping now and leaning heavily on your iPhone 14 case reviews. It's going to be a huge fall and Christmas for companies making real leather cases for the iPhone 15 lineup.

I appreciate you man, I just bought the Andar with your code. Thank you!

Дяка за огляд!
Отримав NOMAD - дуже стильно виглядає!
Мені подобається більше ніж Andar. Не знаю яка шкіра у Andar, але у NOMAD вона, здається, що пресована.. Це трохи засмутило. Трохи))

Another great video! Do you have a link for the MagSafe base charger used in this video? As always, thanks for the hard work you put into your content.

[codyberger]

Are you going to keep doing case battles? These are my favorite!

[brucemao]

such a good review! you've tipped me towards the Aspen. Just wanted to confirm, you said a black version was coming? if so, i will definitely wait for that!

[glenn.b]

Thank you so much! Love your channel dude! Bought the Andar Case because of you!!!

[ezrapetersen]

What’s up Tee! Cant wait to watch the video!

But keep in mind also that leather has this self-healing quality to it. Meaning that if and when you drop it and it gets scratched or ripped, you can rub your finger over it and it will smooth out. Now keep in mind your mileage will vary.

Man U changed my mind again. Just ordered the camel tan.

[MarcusDET]

If the leather doesn’t go onto the sides it looks cheap to me. I like the Apple leather case for the 13 pro max.

You know I’ve been a huge Andar Aspen since my got one for my 13PM.

They didn’t have one ready for my launch day 14PM. So I’ve held off on this this one.

You just broke my self control, ordering an Aspen.

The fit issue - do you notice that after a week or so? I don't have the new iPhone so can't comment, but when I tested the Andar Aspen on my iPhone 12 it took my case a few days to fit properly. The buttons were not aligned for the first few days but now it fits much better.

3:01 I had the exact same issue last year with the Nomad Leather case for my 13 Pro Max - I think it has something to do with early production batch, affecting people who got the case really early after release or even preordered it. I think if you get the case a few months after release it won’t have this issue anymore. Anyway this shouldn’t happen and that’s a big minus for Nomad.

[Echo.k]

Is there any chance you can do a comparison between the andar and the apple leather case?

[lexijones]

Love my andar case have had both but always going back to andar! Dropped my phone already and it was fully protected, not even a cracked screen, compared to my nomad case when I wasn’t so lucky 😢
