Hello guys I’ve just get my case for Apple Watch ultra

Looks good
Clearly 3D printed
Soft touch
A bit difficult to insert the watch in it

But the touch screen bug a little, I don’t know why and if 49618BB2-E0F2-41FD-91FB-E07053CACF80.jpegC1C332C3-19D7-47FD-968F-07F53D56E103.jpeg4E45FD0B-A79A-496D-8D9C-A0635C293F3F.jpeg

So … the case is not going to do anything whatsoever to protect the watch.

In this video, you can see an Ultra literally being dragged behind a car going down the road, sparks flying. Afterwards, the display is perfect — truly perfect! — and the case only has minor nicks. This case would have been ripped off and / or shredded moments into the test.


A case for an Ultra should be considered a fashion accessory, something you only get because you like the way the case itself looks. For me, this case has a distinct “Fisher Price” vibe … if it works for you, great, but I don’t think it’s likely to appeal to most of those who get the watch. Kinda the exact opposite end of the style spectrum, if you know what I mean?

Most folks on here and everywhere say, “to each their own”. But I’m going to step in this time and say (if this is a serious post and not a joke) please, please, don’t.

As a friend, and with the best of intentions, I’m telling you that you should not wear that. Please. That looks objectively bad - especially with those colors.
 
I prefer glass screen protector.
For an Ultra with its sapphire face?

Why … ?

You can easily scratch glass with steel and with quartz (which most sand is made of). But neither will scratch sapphire.

“Protector” implies something that’s stronger than that which it’s protecting. If you actually want a screen protector for an Ultra, you need one made of diamond.

Anything else is literally worse than nothing. The glass you’re putting over the sapphire is going to get really scratched up, really quick, so you’ve got an ugly piece of glass covering your watch. But don’t put anything on, and the sapphire stays crystal clear.

I got a bumper case for my Apple Watch Ultra that I put on only while lifting weights as I already put a tiny dent on mine after hitting by accident one of my barbells. So from now on, I put the bumper (no screen protector) before starting my lifting workouts. For riding my bike, running, and daily use, I don't use the bumper case. And yes, I do have AppleCare+ for my Apple Watch Ultra.

I must admit, I find cases, be they for watches, phones etc, just a means of keeping the device pristine for the next owner. One buys a beautiful phone/watch or whatever and immediately put it in a protective cover and don't get the benefit of the beauty of it. I don't really like the fact that I would be looking after it for the next owner. I buy it for me.

Edit; I do understand the need or desire to protect the device for specific activities that may damage it, such as the weight lifting bumper described by the gentleman above, that looks good.

Having said all the above, there is nothing wrong with someone wanting to keep their device that they spent good money on in a pristine condition. My comment wasn't a criticism, just how I see it and accept that the only right way, is that of the owner.

C'est pas un peu gros ce truc?
Well, I’m serious 😐

And you know what, your opinions doesn’t matter, if I could help some people to see what the ultra looks, I’m glad.

And Of course I understand the toy style
Hey l'ami, if you post here to have other's opinion, don't be rude when people do. My turn to be rude. You didn't need to tell us tu es Français. Hate the rudeness on forums. You help nobody here but indulge yourself. Sans malice l'ami Français.
 
im waiting for pitaka to come out with an aramid fiber air case for the ultra, not for protection but because i like the look and feel of aramid fiber
