For anyone wondering, this is what the spigen ultra hybrid looks like. I like the design, just wish they’d put a cover over the capture button

Are there any leather wallets that have the same Find My and MagSafe as Apple's did? My Apple MagSafe wallet is wearing out bad and I heard FineWoven isn't pleasant.

Hope Caudabe is not selling something they don't have 😕

Several of the Caudate cases say they ship in late Sep. or in Oct., whether that's because they sold out of launch supply or aren't ready yet.

And you may know but: Many case makers take orders before the product arrives, as they don't receive official specs from Apple and have to wait for reliable supplier leaks/rumors/CAD files. Very few companies receive information from Apple to help them design cases before launch, and to survive, many of them have no real choice but to have cases ship late.

It seems like Otterbox, and possibly Spigen, get at least some pre-release guidance from Apple. Others are on their own for sure. In my experience, it’s prudent to order either a cheap case or an official Apple case early on, then only consider premium third-party cases once they’ve had time to clean up any design flaws, particularly on a year when a new button is introduced. Just my opinion, some will differ which is fine of course. 😊

Sadly, the closed-bottom Ryan London case isn't as good of quality as the open-bottom one. The open-bottom RL has been my favorite leather case I've tried along with the LuckyCoin.

Just curious, what's the difference is quality between the Ryan London open-bottom and closed-bottom cases?

To me, the leather open-bottom case just feels much more supple and premium than the closed-bottom. the closed-bottom one almost felt like it had some sort of weird coating on it that made the case feel much dryer. I also prefer the leather-wrapped camera bump vs the metal camera ring.

Has anyone ever owned a Carved iPhone case? Some really unique designs there but I've never heard of them (Facebook seems to know that I'm shopping for cases, ugh...).

iPhone 16 Pro Live Edge Wood Phone Cases by Carved

They also have TPU edge cases:

I have had several carved cases in the past-- all of them of the traveller type not live edge. They are heavier than normal polycarbonate/silicone/plastic cases due to the wood/resin. However, you will have a one of one case!
