Really? I still have my original cactus. Very happy with it.
Got a tip for us?

I think some batches of the cactus came out with unclickable buttons according to the reviews. We got lucky
Reach out the them on their subreddit r/Caudabe - they actively monitor it. Either reply to one of their threads on there and mention them by name and/or start a conversation. That's the only way I got my refund. I'd sent three emails, over nearly a week. Really poor.
I was trying to buy the cactus, it seems out of stock everywhere.
It's only like $52. on Otterbox but says pre-order and I'm done with pre-orders.

I just received a Mous Limitless for my 17 Pro Max. Honestly Im disappointed. The bottom corner on the left side is very sharp. Along with the entire right side of the lip protecting the screen. Every time you swipe right it's sharp and uncomfortable. The left side is nice and smooth. I'll more than likely be returning or exchanging it.
So far so good. Budget king of the year right now. For the price, it’s perfection.
It’s imgur. It’s blocked in the UK now.
PRAISE THE LORD….MY ORDER HAS SHIPPED! 9/13 17 Pro Max Gray Sheath and Ember Buttons

If anyone is considering the Benks ArmorPro, I just received one yesterday, and it is going back. There are parts of the top and sides that do not fit tightly, so for example, my Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro is showing random areas of orange around the lip of the case. It doesn't look as nice as the Techwoven, where you can see the full color outline of the phone around the lip.
I don't have another camera to take a photo, but this review does a good job showing it.

Gray Sheath precise for 17 PM now shipped. Ordered 9/9/25.
Can’t wait to see how you feel about the tried and true battle tested Sheath
Now you’ve gone and jinxed the poor person.Congratulations
Yep, myself and others have had the same issue with it. I've had two, one from Benks that they gave a 80% refund for and one that was returned to Amazon.
The top part is stuck down to the metal ring by a small rectangle piece of double sided sticky tape, trying to bend the top front down caused it to come unstuck. So it's useless now anyway.

There have been quite a few reports of loose tops on various new cases, resulting from the massive opening all the way across the phone. Not that I love their cases, but I think Mous got it right by running a rigid polycarbonate frame up and over the top edge of the case. I suspect we’ll be seeing some redesigns as the year progresses, with the area above the plateau reinforced as they’ve done.
Sadly I've had the same fit issues with my Bellroy leather case that I loved for the 16 pro on my 17 pro. The case doesn't stay tight around the top, leading to the silver peeking through. Bellroy support was amazing and sent me a new one 2nd day air to see if it was an isolated issue but sadly the replacement wasn't any better. Looks like I'm going to be trying to Nomad Modern Leather this year (though I don't like that it's thicker / bulkier than the Bellroy).
When I tried putting the Bellroy on my wife's white 16 pro, it fits like a glove so I think they didn't get the updated curvature of the iphone 17 pro before starting production if I had to guess

Feels really nice! It has a nice, unique texture and great grip
Received my (iPhone Air) full grain Tuscan leather sleeve today (purchased from Etsy). I am pleased with it this far.
aka photoshop'd ... or AI generated ... plain nonsense and purely click bait
At the risk of sounding slightly hyperbolic, I have to say that I’m enjoying this phone/case combination more than just about any since the iPhone X. I have a Pitaka and an Arc Pulse coming (eventually), but if neither arrive I’d be perfectly satisfied with this setup. Happy camper here; great phone, great case, light as a feather, and gorgeous (IMO).
