Soon....
And a few off eBay LOL. Nothing extravagant though. Need to order a Playproof. Also have a Pelican protector and Saddle brown leather on the way.
let me know how the spigen liquid armor fits. I like the simplicity and price of it. Just concerned how tight it is to the phone
Fits ok. Sides a little loose when pushing to sides from front but not bad. Pretty solid case, decent button feedback. Nothing near as thin as Totallee or Tozo but not very bulky either. About as thick and camera jump on back is thick. Kind of slick back but a rather semi soft rubber. Figured it would be a little more grippy than it is.
As thin as case is there isn't enough material for it to be very stiff even if you wanted it to be. Probably as stiff as can be expected for being air case. Tozo or Totallee are exact same way.
If you don't mind commenting further please...
- Is this thinner than the Apple Leather cases?
- Is this gripper than a (worn) Apple Leather case?
The leather case is my only basis for comparison!
But I'm strongly considering the Liquid Armor (as per: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/spigen-liquid-armor-for-iphone-7.2036591/ )
Thinner than Apple case for sure. It is about as thick as camera hump on back is. So slightly thicker than Totallee or Tozo.
I haven't used a Leather long enough to consider one worn. It's a pretty soft rubber so it is far from holding a bar of soap. I think like a apple leather it would probably get more grippy the more I used it. Button feedback decent on it too.
It's a pretty "solid" light case. For $10 or whatever they sell for it's worth it for sure. Definitely used more expensive cases that were worse LOL
Maybe if I remember later today/tomorrow I could snap some pics of it on my phone and that would help.

Snap pics!! LOL, jk, just poking fun.
I used to like Spigen cases but they seem to have gotten more slippery over time.
Thank you for your response - most appreciated!Thinner than Apple case for sure. It is about as thick as camera hump on back is. So slightly thicker than Totallee or Tozo.

The reason I asked re: thickness... I'm very comfortable with the leather case (tried it in the Apple store yesterday) and happy with the thickness/tight fit/grip/etc. However, I plan to use a magnet mount in future, and the thickness of the leather may interfere with the efficiency of the strength of the magnet when mounted.
Great news the Liquid Armor is thinner, didn't realise it was almost as thin as the Tozo or Totallee (think both of these are quoted around the 0.35mm (not sure on the Spigen). Is it true the back is sort of grippy but the sides are slippy? Finally, is a 'smooth touch' finish or an actual rubber finish? (the former is ideal, the latter would make it difficult ti slip in and out of pockets perhaps). Sorry for so many questions.
Some pics would be so helpful - hopefully this quote notification will serve as a helpful reminder?
(Especially any looseness around the lip on the front bezel, and flappy bits would be really annoying!)

No one likes flappy bits!
Any for a 5S that need re-homing?
Haha, mostly just 7 Plus cases since that's all I been reviewing on my channel.
