New iPhone Season is my favorite time of the year and this time around it’s extra exciting 🙂

Despite my attachment to the Pro Max line, I have pretty much decided that I’m going to take a chance on the Ultra when preorders go live. I’ll be trading in my 17PM to T-Mobile and financing as I always do.

I ALWAYS use a case. I feel like I have lost my grip on reality because for the first time, I genuinely feel like I should go naked to avoid adding bulk. I feel clinically insane because it’s probably going to be fragile and cost $2k 🫠 AppleCare+ is necessary as always.

Has anyone come across any promising case options that won’t detract from how thin the phone is? Having the Pro Max in a bulky shock absorbing case has never bothered me and it’s what I prefer but I feel like adding bulk to this stubby little square (when folded) would be less than pleasant.
 
This is what I use on my Google Pixel Fold - very sleek and offers protection - Encased:

Yes, something like this! It seems like the only protection it would provide would be against surface cosmetic damage and that’d be really weird for me—I’ve been used to thick shock absorption this whole time—but I don’t want to spend so much on an ultra and feel like I’m carrying around a toy building block 😅
 
For those with cases on other brand's fold phones, how do the cases do with the hinge? Do they cover the hinge, and how well does that work? Would cases that not cover the hinge work better?
