Fortunately, mine just left Hong Kong after only 2 days.

I was a little worried based on some of the replies, but mine left HK after less than a day. We’ll see what happens when it lands and has to go through customs. 🫣

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!

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
Exactly my point.

Those who state there is a material change are saying there DEFINTIELY is based on their “user experience” and that they are correct.

But then say to those who do not believe there to be any changes to the material based on their user experience are wrong and trolls 😂😂

Which sounds more trolling? 😂😂 I’m done with this now. Anyone with an apple silicone case, dunk it into a tracksuit bottom pocket or any pocket and it’ll come out with fluff on it. You can tell yourself it doesn’t all you want but it will. That is something I can guarantee 😂

they are great cases but let’s just try and not state something is fact when you don’t actually know if it is. The last sentence of the above paragraph is fact 😉 😆

Finished with this subject.

My take on this whole Apple Silicone saga.

LOL.
 
Just picked up Pitaka Ultra Slim from local Apple premium reseller iStyle.
No photos yet. Its very lightweight and slim. It doesn’t have any screen lip without glass! This helps so slim profile.
Also there should be better grip.

Very nice case, but far not perfect. By seller most selling case for Air 😄

Still in this Supcase frosted and loving it. Looks so good on the silver iPhone.

Would love to see how it looks on the Orange and blue if anyone has that combo??
Just got mine in and it looks great, but mine has a sagging issue along the bottom near the charging port, exposing the silver frame of the phone. Does yours have this issue?
 
I have to say I am really enjoying the CaseKoo case. It is pretty chunky but it has a really good grip and feel. It also has a decent lip even with a screen protector on...I might have to get more :oops:

I have also been debating on whether or not to get an apple silicone case or a techwoven one. It seems that the techwoven is the preferred one?
Any tips on which color would go best with the 17 pm in silver (leaning towards maybe green or purple TW).
 
I love the idea of the Apple silicone cases in general, the lint thing never bothered me (and it sounds like its improved in that respect), but my experience with them is they always got "greasy" after a few days and retained oils from your skin. If they can fix that somehow, I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.
Would have to be a material similar to the Sheath in a way

This Video shows all the silicone/techwoven cases on all pro colors. Can’t go wrong here, pretty much anything goes with silver. I personally love the purple with my silver :) I have the silicone case because it’s lined with microfiber, even around the edges. Also didn’t like the coarse texture of the TW.

The reason I stayed with the Sheath for the 15pro because to me the Sheath is the closest to the Apple silicone form factor, all around same feel and dimensions without the silicone. Haven’t gotten the Sheath yet for the 17pro. Hopefully the specs are the same for the 17pro when factoring in the larger device.

I was going to get the Quad lock case for my 17PM, but looks like they have an issue with the camera button - so I will wait. I have the techwoven case at the moment.
 
Pitaka is quite a disappointment. The case is indeed very thin and light, but it slips quite a bit, has no overhang over the display, and the CC cutout is uncomfortably sharp and cuts into the hand. Shame.

The Sheath is heavier by at least 15 grams.
