iPhone 17/Air/Pro/Pro Max Cases

[lazygolfer666]

So I bought the blue Techwoven case for launch date but I returned as I thought I was going to stick with the Air.. now I want to order it again and there's a month lead time in the UK! Most of the colours are out of stock everywhere.
Amazon has the clear case on £37 (down from £49) but I'm liking the Beats one in Bedrock Blue at £25 (down from £45). Not fully convinced about the Caudabe Sheath.

I keep going back to Terra Cotta silicone.

Used Green TW for 48 hours and now im back in silicone.

What do you use to clean the silicone cases? I’ve found that a lint roller works well on the larger areas. I sometimes remove a sheet, press and remove where needed 😁

I don’t. I just blow them off. This is going back though. I’ve never managed to keep a silicone case for more than two weeks, as much as I love the feel of them in hand

I really want to love it. The colour is actually growing on me. Maybe I’ll try a Sienna TW

How is the Terra better than the Apple silicone?

Gotcha. IMO opinion Apple silicone case has always been the best form factor. However since it’s silicone don’t like it. The closest I found to Apple silicone which is non silicone is the Caudabe Sheath.

Sheath is a chunky beast compared to the Apple silicone

Got the mous limitless in stone colour for my silver 17 pro. Love the colour, goes well with the silver.

Yea but how would the Apple Clear cause that?

Definitely in my case.

A speck of sand or grit inside any case can do that.

👍

In my case, the Apple clear case lets in a lot of dust at the top. Like so much, you could see a buildup of it after only one day. Stopped using it because of that reason. It’s a shame because it’s such a nice, smooth case.

The ESR Hybrid clear case on the other hand fits snugly and no buildup is noticeable after several days.

Exact same situation. Every time when I try to remove clear case it's full of dust. Not only at the top, but almost everywhere. Case itself feels nice in hand, but overall looks very cheap and crapy - few people already asked me, why I have such ****** and cheap case on iPhone Air 🤣🤣.

I have the Apple Clear on an Air and I haven’t had this incursion of dust. I’m assuming yours is the Pro?

Interesting 🤔
Mine is very loose not only on bottom, but even on top. So this will cause it. When I bought it with my Air, I get even worse peace and then get second in this condition.

Currently thinking about contacting Apple with this, but don't know.

It seems to me that frame of black iPhone Air is very similar to Arc Pulse Titanium Onyx black, that is also very scratchy.

I ordered a terra cotta silicone to try.

Feels nice, yep. No change in material properties at all in my opinion. Feels exactly as last and previous years did.

Exactly! Glad you tried it for yourself to see it’s exactly the same material as I was saying but kept being told it was “much different material” 😄

 

[JBlass421]

Mine is perfect, minus the buttons do rattle..

Oh man I can already see the famous Sheath MagSafe indentation on this one and it’s brand new.

I wonder if the Air’s Sheath will have that issue.

 

[bsmr]

but this year they have camera control and it works just fine.

Can you tell me something about the click and the noise coming from the camera control button. Is the button more clicky/metallic compared to the other buttons on your device?

And do you have any comparison to the 16 Pro? For me the 17 Pro seems to be a bit higher frequency and louder?!

Yeah, I spotted that too.
My PM Sheath ordered 9/9 still hasn't shipped. I've seen seams on them that I'm optimistic will wear down with use, MagSafe indents I'm not keen on at all.

Condom ring gives it character

Yeah exactly.

As you (I think it was you) said, it’s all placebo. They haven’t changed.

Can you post a picture? How’s the fit?
Was eyeing that case, too. Loved the Mous Limitless on my 15PM, even though it was notoriously hard to get off the phone. And I’m wary about that here too with the new form factor.

 

[JBlass421]

Yeah exactly.

As you (I think it was you) said, it’s all placebo. They haven’t changed.

Yup what I said exactly! 😄

 

[Zensō]

Any update bro?

Last week they told me it will ship sometime between 10/8-10/15. We shall see…

Every time when I try to remove clear case it's full of dust.

There is undoubtedly dust that accumulates inside all cases. It’s just that you have the worst case scenario: clear case on a black phone, which shows every speck clearly in almost any light. With my white phone, I can’t see the dust (or fingerprints for that matter) unless the light hits it at just the right angle. This is why I have never liked clear cases on black phones.

It seems to me that frame of black iPhone Air is very similar to Arc Pulse Titanium Onyx black, that is also very scratchy.

Gloss black scratches, period. I can tell you that from experience: I own a Black Edition Volvo XC which is a nightmare to keep clean and scratch-free. If you thought a black phone was bad… lol.

I wonder if the Air’s Sheath will have that issue.

Thought the MagSafe bulge was supposedly fixed with some new hard liner or something?

Sheath starting to look like a complete fail already with it’s button cutouts to large for the new “one size fits all” buttons and now the MagSafe bulge is back 😩

I’m surprised to see this. They supposedly put a layer of PC in the back, which should prevent this.

I think ill put my sheath on ebay as soon as they deliver.

Im more looking forward to that Paragon with ember buttons.

Ah, the infamous c-ring indentation 🤣
