I would suggest to use the public beta over the developer beta. They are the same but I always wait for the public.

You will feel like you have a brand new device. Public beta 4 is buttery smooth.
Awesome, I will probably download later on today. How long does it take?
 
Shame there is no CC button :oops:

My two Andar Aspen cases came in. The Moss is on the left and the Stone Gray is on the right. In the picture, the Stone Gray looks gray, but in person it's closer to brown. From the attached color chart, it's definitely Brown Bear. I've retired the Tech Wave for now and I'm using the Stone Gray.

So, are you still in the Paragon, went back to the Sheath or something else?
I went back and tried the Arc, Pitaka, Phone Rebel, Benks, Ringke, Sheath, etc., but surprisingly, I’m still in the Paragon. I like the slim feel, grippy sides, easy swiping, perfect buttons, tight fit, and clean look. To me, it feels like an updated, more modern Synthesis. I was concerned about the back, but so far I have zero scratches and the fingerprints haven’t been bad at all (the back material reminds me of the Nomad Rugged from last year). So yeah, overall it checks most of the boxes for me—I take back all the bad things I said about Caudabe. 😂

Wow, guess I'll have to order another one :oops: think I tried that case for 5 minutes and never went back.
I believe Caudabe still has that sale going on.........

Well, you know how it is with cases; I like it but you may not like it at all. We all have a different list of boxes to check…

I'm going to keep my 16PM ;) I need to quit wasting money on phones and useless cases.
Plus, with iOS 26, I already have the new phone.
I'm not upgrading this year either. Wonder how that new button on the 16 will work with cases?

Here's a tip: always choose black when getting a new phone.
We all know where this is going... ;)

What an interesting observation. I’ve been to the dental clinic, and every doctor and receptionist was using Arc Pulse on their iPhone. Arc Pulse central?😮

Has this new leather case been added to the 1st post?

Are these any good, with tough leather? My Ryan London has been ok, but leather quite thin and has marked easily.

EDIT: Added, with all 9 colours. ;-)

I’ve been a way from the forums for quite sometime now.

Has anyone seen an otter box defender style case without a gap between the case and camera button? Brand doesn’t matter.
 
Anyone have any experience with the quad lock case? Looking for a case for mountain biking that I can click on to the handlebars… never had one but from pics and videos it looks like that matte material that is fingerprint central.
