Am I the only one obsessed with cases? Pt. 2

That rubbing almost every day drives me nuts but at least my hands are soft as well :))) and I never had a silicone case yet.
Saddle brown I think is the best aging :apple: leather case from what I've seen.

I don't have any issues with the silicone case. But it could be because I'm a female and don't put my phone in my pocket as much anymore. I have been using ocean blue since launch and it's worn nicely. Also have a product RED as well.
 
I'm a little nervous about the buttons, on the new leather case are perfect.
If I buy a product red case I'll want a red sport band as well :) these accessories are pretty addictive :)

Haha! It's funny cause I've always had the white front iPhone for the longest time, ever since my first one which was the 5. I wanted to get jet black/matte black instead but it was already ordered and whatnot so I just stuck with it.

Maybe next launch I will, but it really does look elegant.
 
That's what I thought, but after 4 months of all black "elegant" I only see it boring and depressing. Like a black widow lol. World's first problem :)) I think I have too much spare time :))
Maybe next launch won't bring us a tacky gold glass phone, like Samsung 's...
 
I now have an unlocked working 5S in my possession with the rugged Spigen case. Pics to come when I get into the office tomorrow morning
 
Jesus. $149 for a metal not so appealing case is absurd lol. I thought my $99 lifeproof was bad.

My boss has an element and they scratch and chip paint like a 3gs

Are you sure it's an authentic Element case? The reason I ask is because I thought I had put a massive scratch in my citron yellow Element when I put the phone in my camera tripod and moved it. I heard a horrible scratching noise and I thought for sure I had gotten some of the color off but to my amazement there was nothing visible at all. Still looks like brand-new. I had a $99 Lifeproof Nüüd as well but seeing the materials and workmanship used in this Element case I almost feel like the price on the plastic Lifeproof is absurd (I returned it and kept the Frē for whenever I need extra protection). When you have both cases side-by-side there simply is no comparison when it comes to materials, workmanship and overall quality and feel in the hand. It definitely is expensive and I would've appreciated it if it would be less LOL, but then again I'll spend almost anything for extra good quality and workmanship.......plus the exclusivity is a nice perk. :)

I love Apple's midnight blue leather case. When I had to decide which case to buy I didn't really hesitate at all. I saw it on the Apple website and said: That one!

That looks really good! Really wish they made the 7 case the same without the apple logo cutout but they didn't :(

Oh no! I see how that would be disappointing.. I don't mind the cutout on the iPad as it helps when holding the device. There's no real need for it on the phone!

Yeah I agree. Not a fan of dust and gunk or the outline of the cutout on the that portion of my phone. Makes it hard to clean.
 
I never understood the obsession with having that logo cutout. All it does is ruin the overall clean look of a case. Lots of manufacturers have this too! I did hear that it somehow improves grip.
 
I always avoid Cases with the those cutouts not matter how good. Not only is it a large entry point for dust particles, I don't have the need to show those around me that I'm using an Apple product all the time.

The cutout is for the 'look at me I have an iPhone' people. No offence meant to the people who want their case to have the cutout.

.....ok, stupid question - is that an iPhone 5 or an iPhone 6?!?!?! That case is so square, it could be either!!!

EDIT - Judging by the flash on the back - thats a 5S!
:p
