Has anyone purchased or tested the new Arc Pulse for iPhone Air? It sounds very interesting. I tried the AliExpress alternatives for my iPhone 15 and I'm very happy with them.

Wow. That case is CA$128. Yikes!

I have one on preorder. They won’t be available until mid- to late-October. I had a couple on my 16PM and they were excellent.

Brand ghost arrived and besides being a fingerprint magnet I really like it.

Any other ghost case owners find it really satisfying how well the holes fit the camera 😂. Or am I just a bit weird.
 
As someone who orders overseas a lot for my other hobbies, stuff coming from China right now is taking much, much longer than usual. My packages used to make it through customs in china to USA in a day. Now it's been a week, sometimes 2. Stuff just isn't moving quickly. And statuses don't reliably update any longer either. Sucks, but it's the reality of the situation right now due to the change-by-the-day tariffs.

As someone who orders overseas a lot for my other hobbies, stuff coming from China right now is taking much, much longer than usual. My packages used to make it through customs in china to use in a day. Now it's been a week, sometimes 2. Stuff just isn't moving quickly. And statuses don't reliably update any longer either.

Then the company (Suti) should have said on the product page they are shipping from an international hub rather than keeping up a page that said US orders fulfilled at Dallas, TX. If i had known that, I wouldn’t have even chosen them.

Yes. That is reasonable. I was just commenting on the shipping situation.

I would’ve never ordered neither. I only ordered from them because how fast their shipping was and they shipped from the US previously.

That makes sense. In fairness, it’s not just Suti; I’ve seen similar issues reported regarding Pitaka and others. My issue isn’t really with the length of time it takes to receive the product, it does seem to be a widespread problem. Much more so, it’s that suppliers should be more transparent up front and not make false claims about shipping just to close the deal.
 
Update from my end. Got the deep blue iPhone 17 pro. The screen protector is the Spigen GlasTr EZ Fit. This has been my screen protector for almost 8 years(?). Never let me down.

Attached some picture of the two cases I got to try on.

TORRAS Q3 Air:

The fit of this case is very good. Once you put it on, it will stay on. Buttons are nice and clicky and it feels solid for drop protection.

However, as you can see in the picture, the stand is connected through a hole which they covered with some soft almost tape like material. That part does not move or turn when you turn the O-stand, but if you put your finger on it and turn the stand, you can feel it moving around. So I’m assuming that with enough use, you will damage the back of your iPhone.



My second case I got is the Ringke Alles.

The fit is a bit loser compared to the Q3 Air, but still solid none the less. It feels really sturdy in the hand, but the back is a bit of a finger print magnet.

The buttons feel good. Basically you are pressing the iPhone buttons since it’s just rubber / silicone on top of it.

The ring spins, but compared to the Q3 Air, the spinning part does not contact the phone, so I have more confidence in this case.

I’m so used to my Rugged Nomad case that putting the phone down, it makes a harder sound (with the Ringke), but I guess that’s also due to the camera plateau.

All and all, from the cases out there this one gets my vote / money for now. I’ll keep an eye out for future cases, but this one pretty much has everything I’m looking for, though the lip could have been a bit higher.

Edit:
Just did a magnet test. Both cases/brands make claims you can attach it to a metal/magnetic surface. The Q3 Air does not have the strength to hold your phone and will slide down/off. The Ringke Alles stays put!

That blue with the orange is pretty sweet :)

The blue TW seems almost impossible to purchase anywhere soon :( late Oct-Nov dates
Here in Toronto, the blue TechWoven Case for the 17 Pro and Pro Max are both available immediately in-store at some Apple Stores, or else via courier delivery from an Apple Store within 2 hours.
