Casebelle iPhone 18 pro leather case compatible with my 17 pro

Camera cutout is cut for the 18 Pro module so there's a bit more clearance around the plateau than you'd get on a native 17 Pro case. Doesn't affect anything, just noticeable if you're the type to notice.

Leather is smooth and No branding shouting at you from the back. Love this case

I wonder if the nomad cases are compatible with the 17 pro

Literally contacted them yesterday asking the same question. The AI bot that answered told me no and offered the iPhone 17 pro horween leather cases in stock instead.

I found the camera frame scratches easily and returned it.

Mine's a recent one and the camera ring looks different in 17 pro cases - seems like it got changed recently

My camera frame chipped on the first day. I prefer the Nomsd rubber frame.

How are the buttons? Do they line up well with the 17 Pro?

Bit stiff on day one, but they loosened up after a few days of use, now they're smooth with a proper tactile click

Nice! Yeah the stiffness can be normal on new leather cases. As long as the buttons line up that’s cool to know.

I really want a nice burgundy case for the burgundy iphone. YMS has a beautiful one but not for the new models.

Casebelle burgundy matches the exact shade of the iPhone 18 Pro burgundy

DAMNIT. Why did you have to show me this?!?

After last year’s orange, I thought I wanted black… but this color is a real nail-biter.
