Cases you wish they'd bring back?

[Motionblurrr]

I was thinking about this today and I really wish some older classic cases would make a come back with updated materials for these iPhones.

My personal list is:

1) Apple Bumper case - 4S generation? Probably one of the most underrated cases ever made and super simple yet effective.

2) Speck Pixelskin HD - 4-5S gen

3) Incase Slider - 3G-5S gen

4) Incipio NGP (the classic all smoked colored one) - 5-6S gen

5) Incipio feather - all gens. I feel like these were a bit better than Spigen's thin fits, although less protective.

What are some cases you wish would come back? Especially for these big phones with glass backs.

The Nomad full leather case that was offered for the iPhone 6-7. Ditch the tpu borders Nomad!

I agree! If they'd put that drop foam inside the borders of full leather case I think they'd still retain the drop protection they have now.

The TPU they currently use couldve been a lot worse though

heh I googled 4 and found me

Incipio NGP Matte Smoke Review (possibly best case)

$19.99 at wal mart (wally world). TPU texture, similar size and build as the geometric (and supposedly pixelskin hd which I'm getting through the Apple case program any day now). Decided to get because I heard the new build Pixelskin hd's aren't that great. Comes with a screen protector too...

Ahhh that's the exact NGP I was talking about!! Even the 5 and 6 iPhone versions were actually pretty good. And yes that Pixel skin geometry was very loud and awesome at the time.

I wish Switcheasy made Rebels again. They'd probably look ugly these days but I'd still definitely would use one. Ohhh and the classic Powersupport thin cases and their amazing screen protectors from the Apple store. Best clear and antiglare protectors for a long time!

I’d love to see the Evutec Karbon osprey SI for the 6-8 series come back for the 12 series, it was my favorite case and the aer/aergo cases were a step down for me IMO.

The Magpul cases were great and I’d love to see them come back as well.

power support made a cool bumper too in the day for iPhone 5 that had hard to press buttons but a cool silver-y design I kinda liked

and I remember switch easy!

Smart battery case

I can’t believe we don’t have them for the 12. Or even a MagSafe external battery

Is Magpul the ones with the cross hatched blocky texture on the back? They make a knockoff version sold on eBay—idk how good it is though.

Yeah I’ve seen those, I’d prefer a magpul official one but sadly I don’t think it will happen. One can hope though lol

The old Evutec kevlar weave cases were nice.

I also liked Spigen's designs when they had the colorful interchangeable bands, and a clean, modern flair. That was before the designs became pedestrian, and they insisted on having the hole cutouts for the Apple logo. Now, they're just like everyone else.

the multi piece Element Black Ops Case...now its just 1 piece with crap add ons.

The Poetic Atmosphere from the iPhone 5 days. Anyone remembers? It was my all time favourite case. Incredible how thin the phone felt in that.

Yes!! This one was SO good. I remember the case being super stiff but it fit the phone perfectly. It had that black ring around the flash, buttons were good and it gave it a matte look. I actually gave my dad my iPhone 5S and I gave him this case and he loved it. Super thin and he had dropped it a few time and the iPhone came out unscathed.

You’re one smart man, wish they’d bring back the bumper case, would look awesome on my pacific blue pro max 🥺

Take my money right now 👇😍

This was an awesome case. That frosty look on the back, man it takes me back!

Heck yes! Evutec cases for me for every model from iPhone 5 to iPhone 11 pro. I gave the 12 pro AER a go but just doesn't feel right with flat sides and ribbed rubber. The Osprey SI was easily my fav version of theirs, hugged the rounded edges so firm and nice. I've pinged them a few times telling them to please make 'em but nothing in their plans it seems.

Yes I do wish they would bring back the bumpers.

Since it’s been this long without a apple bumper case being released again, I don’t like our chances. ?

You’re right. None of the bumpers on the market compare to the Apple ones.

Yep, either a weird shape, way to bulky, stupid writing all over them.

Or maybe we’re being too fussy ??

Piel Frama "Unipur". Quality Spanish leather, hand made and perfectly formed to the shape of the phone - with internal lining. It had a magnetic flap. This is the best, slimmest and highest quality case I used to use on all my iPhones. Sadly they retired making them due to lack of demand.
