Just when I thought I was out.......................the cheap Beats pulled me right back in :rolleyes:
Just had my grey delivered today it really is a smooth clean case. For me open bottom is always a plus forgot how much I missed it. I will say if your hands have the slightest bit of heat the grip will suffice.

At 13 bucks has to be budget case of the year.
 
Was going to purchase the Bellroy venture case, after seeing this on eBay, I'm out :(

I thought this too it’s how mine showed up from Best Buy. I was super pissed and thought it was used until I realized it’s a self healing case. I took a cotton t shirt and rubbed the scratches out really gently and the case is flawless now. I’m actually back in it after being in the tank for a while.
 
Curious, anyone try a Rimowa Case? Naturally no magsafe, but they do look pretty solid. Seems they are TPU with an aluminum back? Might look good with Cosmic

Looking back at 2025 I really didn’t expect to end the year and not own a case I’d consider my favorite. I’m still waiting for Tekmomo I preordered, 3 Sheaths I ordered all had QC issues I couldn’t overlook. Bunch of brands I wanted to try either don’t make a base 17 case or don’t have CC button. I thought Sheath was gonna be the one and looking at everyone’s photos it’s still the case I like the most because it’s minimalist non slippery and bezels are the same all around the phone. So I hope the Tekmomo will be my everyday case I enjoy using, if not I really have no idea where to look, I might order the Sheath again hoping QC for base model improves 😅 Thanks for reading my essay, wishing everyone a happy new year!
 
Decided to try out the techwoven and ring in the new year with Master Chief! Wow what a case. I was skeptical at first but as soon as I slapped the TW on I just knew. Absolute 0 QC issues with mine thank goodness. What a case! Thanks @Sal09 and @Hooterville for the color combo suggestion.
