Sometimes the micro-suction pads collect a small amount of dust when left unused. To retrieve the device, simply pop it off the suction pad. There are only tiny microscopic indentions that form a suction attachment to the device. The pad holds iPhone fast to the case without residue, because there is no gel adhesive material. Micro-suction pads utilize millions of tiny little indentions to form a bond with the flat device back. Using a technology sometimes found on iPhone docks, Nodus implemented a micro-suction technology into their case. Moreover, those types of device applications are not reusable.Īll of that is to say, again, Nodus did it perfectly.

When removing iPhones from this type of adhesive material, it is extremely difficult to spring it free and always leaves a residue regardless of a “non-residue” claim. Other competitors use a 3M adhesion variation, onto which the iPhone is actually taped into place. Similar designs use an integrated iPhone harness, where the device is clipped into a plastic holder that is molded into a leather wrap around. Again, emphasis is on the unbroken and seamless leather.Īll of the elegance could easily be ruined if the iPhone installation process were hampered. The spine allows the case to double back on itself for making calls, but the front does not have an earpiece slit, like some competing designs. Because the case is stiff, the front opens definitively to reveal the iPhone - it does not wrinkle or bend. The turgid flap also lends to the elegance of the design. Don’t toss it around aimlessly, but I appreciate the protective nature of the stiff case. The case is rigid, as to stand up against bumps and dings. This small sacrifice is worth it to me, instead of interrupting the design for a small incision. The case must be opened to (un)mute your device. While some may consider it inconvenience, there is no open port cut into the leather to access the mute switch. The hole is cut just large enough to prevent the case from obscuring pictures, but leaves no extra room. Also precisely cut is the camera and flash port. The size is just slightly larger than iPhone on three sides, opposite the spine.

With a smooth feel and finish, the edged stitching gives a nice contrast to the otherwise completely smooth leather, save a small dimpled line on the case back, which is designed to rest iPhone at a viewing angle. Yes, I am going to gush all over this case in my review. The smell alone is enough to excite the senses.

Shortly thereafter, I pillaged my mailbox looking for the iPhone 6 Plus Access case. Even before holding the product, I thought to myself, here is a company that is doing it all exactly right. Standing in stark contrast to the mundane daily cases, Nodus introduced me to their Access collection. Many companies are in their third or fourth iteration of the exact same case, merely updated for the newest iPhone form factor. In fact, my hardware review articles are quite infrequent due to the lack of truly new cases. However, running into my third year of accessory reviews, most of the marketed cases are boring to me. The protection level is perfect or the look and feel is spot on.

Many case companies get most things right. Further complicating matters is my disdain for overly complicated designs or cases that interfere with the look and feel of iOS devices. Most of my hesitation stems from being an iPhone nudist, which I mention in most of my articles.
