elago silicone MagSafe case, Stone colour


View attachment 2560160 View attachment 2560158

The colour is OK, but in retrospect I think I would have been better off getting a different colour. The grey "Stone" colour looks a bit drab against the Cosmic Orange, and is probably better suited to the silver iPhone.
It turns out the Stone colour is not a true grey but a greige, which is probably why it doesn't work so well with Cosmic Orange.

The Marigold Yellow mobee leather case I originally purchased probably would have been a good match, but as mentioned I returned it because of its Camera Control cutout design and because of the metal camera cutout ring (which could block wireless signals and scratch the plateau).

I'm thinking a dark blue case would also work well, although that gives some Minions vibes. ;)

I'm also hopeful that some new non-Apple lanyard silicone cases appear soon. Most of the current third party ones out there don't seem to be designed that well IMO.

Yea, I only added that skin as it showed the hump better. Might order one with my favorite old swarm skin.

Looks like the best protection for the hump so far.

What skin would look the best with the orange camera lenses peeking through?

Matte Black, Swarm, Black Camo or Carbon?

Was the skin installation easy?

I had no problems on my 14 Grip, but totally effed up the 15. I do like the Grip, but probably won’t get it this time. Ordered s Sheath, my first Caudabe. Should get it by mid 2032 I think. Probably about the same time as my phone will arrive.
 
It will undoubtedly be the Pitaka Ultra-Slim (or similar). They are not yet available on Amazon (due late October), so you’d have to order direct, which I wouldn’t recommend right now due to the mess created by the tariffs. In the meantime, the Apple clear is 21 grams, which is very light, but not as slim as the aramid fiber cases will be.

The Pitaka Ultra-Slim Black/Grey (Twill) is available on Amazon now:


This case used to be my go-to but prefer more minimalist “cases” like the Arc Pulse.

I don't have the case, just thinking about ordering one. Think I'll just order the Tank and start the long waiting game.

I generally don’t reach for rugged cases, but the Tank is tempting. The design and look is cool AF. I’ll mostly likely wait and see if Best Buy will carry it. I don’t want to play the preorder game with dbrand and also have to deal with their crappy third party shipping service.

We were discussing the Air. ☺️

It appears to have been scanned in USPS’s database:

My fingers are crossed you receive yours. My informed delivery does not have a date yet. USPS hasn’t picked it up yet.
 
Caubade black Synthesis arrived today and is pretty much a disappointment for me. I've had many of Synthesis cases over the years and this one feels like the cheapest thing I've ever seen from Caudabe. The back has a frost color haze all along the edges on the black back and looks like like total crap. I just took some pictures under bright lights and it's hard to see this defect under the bright lights, but in person, it's crappy looking. Here are those pictures.

Sorry for bothering you or if I’m going off-topic, but could you tell me where to find this wallpaper?
I’ve tried searching everywhere without success.

Thank you.
 
Thanks. It is odd that this random tracking number showed up in my Informed Delivery account on 9/20, but I’ll take it. The USPS tracking number linked to my order is like dead! 😂
I’m curious where your new tracking is showing as the departure location? I also just had a new tracking number pop up in Informed Delivery and I have no idea what it is. It’s showing a departure location of Brooklyn, New York—I don’t have anything coming from Brooklyn that I’m aware of. Can’t tell if it’s Suti or something else.

I am not expecting any other packages from USPS, so hoping it is from Suti. @Momof2.1107 received a random tracking number as well.

Süti emailed with the replacement tracking number, and this tracking number has the same departure scan as the 1st Süti phone back. I nicknamed them both in my informed delivery, but they both have different company names. I only know who they are because of the tracking numbers emailed to me.

Got the Gripzilla case in yesterday. Not a bad case but I dont think I'm going to keep it over the TechWoven. Haven't been impressed by any case and its rigidity around the edge of the screen.
