I'm not very happy with Ryan London right now. Totally not their fault, but Canada Post went on strike while the case I ordered was in transit. It sat in the US waiting to be transferred to Canada for 2 weeks, then was sent back to the UK and has been sitting in "international sorting" for almost 2 weeks. I asked them to cancel my order and issue a refund, but they won't do that until they get the case back. Which will be god knows when. The strike could last until next year for all we know and then it will take forever for them to clear the backlog.

I tried to get in touch with the shipper (Royal Mail) myself, but could not find any contact info to actually send them a message other than an online form asking them to return to sender, which they did not reply to. I asked Ryan London to get in touch with them and ask it to be returned, but they won't do that.

Again, the strike is not their fault, but now I'm waiting a month for this thing and it's just stuck there with no end in sight. As a small business owner, I get not wanting to potentially lose the product for nothing, but we're not talking thousands of dollars here. It probably cost them like $50 at most. I would just eat the cost and make the customer happy and it will probably be returned to them at some point anyway.
 
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.
Odd, mine feels totally different from last years and previous years. Bunch of co workers said the same
 
I disagree. I have a brand new iPhone 16 PM silicone case and it does feel a bit different compared to my 17 PM one. Commenting this to show people it’s not all placebo from my experience of direct comparison.
Don’t feed the trolls 🧌 sir! Like talking to a wall.

Yes they did. They spoke about the TW cases in the keynote.

Apple would 100% say if they have made change to a product that could be seen as an improvement and would generate more sales. As would any company with any product.

In my opinion, people who say that there is a change or a difference in these cases are just telling themselves what they want to hear. Which is absolutely fine and they’re not bad cases at all, each to their own but I don’t agree with some posts that can be seen as posts trying to to convince people to buy something because they think there’s improvement in something when it may not be (in this case highly likely isn’t) the truth.
Wrong, it’s user experience. At the end of the day it’s a phone case. Not serious in real life at all, I hope not to anyone. But with that said anyone who is saying the material is different is correct.
 
Interestingly my purple silicone feels a bit different than my terra cotta. The terra cotta is stickier, if you will
Few members on here will tell you that you are wrong for having an opinion lol 😂. Hilarious to me. Have you been using them for equal time?
 
It’s not the same. Very easy to tell IMO.
They’ve changed. Anyone using the work “placebo” over a phone case I don’t know what to tell ya. 😂

It’s funny you say “few members on here will tell you that you are wrong for having an opinion” yet you’re the one that keeps saying anyone who says the material is different are the correct ones and that anyone who says otherwise is wrong and that we are trolls!? For having our own opinions as well!? Sounds hypocritical if you ask me.

And yea I used the word “placebo” and I stand by it but I’m done arguing about silicone material.

You get the last word, it’s apparent you need it with these silicone cases. PSA: This year’s Apple silicone is very different silicone material! I’m so done with this topic and ready to move on!

Thank you for your opinion. It’s comical to me that this is rehashed over and over and how triggered you and a few others area over an opinion based on experience. It’s a phone case, not serious at all mate. It’s also a forum with people sharing opinions bloke.

Thank you for moving on.

Not triggered at all 😄

You’re calling people trolls and yet we have our own opinions as well like you do but we’re trolls for it.

You keep talking about simple “user experience” yet you also keep saying one point of view is correct and one is wrong. That’s hypocritical.

You’re absolutely right it’s not a big deal at all! Lol

It’s not, it’s an opinion. Also, reiterating what has been said. Who cares. Difference of opinion between grown men. Repect to ya brother.

Heads up on Pitaka shipping times. Didn’t really notice this when I placed the order but after two weeks my Pitaka case for IPhone Air is still in Chicago after sitting in Hong Kong for a week. It looks like 3 weeks or so for a delivery.
Fortunately, mine just left Hong Kong after only 2 days.
