Tech21 case arrived today. That thing is purple 😂 But if it does everything it advertises on the package I’ll be thoroughly impressed 😅 it feels really protective. Very flexible but closes around the front of the phone so I don’t think it would fall out when dropped. Air pockets all around the inside. Very sturdy, with matt sides and a glossy black. No camera control button, though. That is one downside.
Comes with replaceable buttons in blue and green (though I’ll probably keep the purple ones).
I’ll give this one a try today and see how it fares.
I have had Tech 21 for several of my previous phones and they do a really good job of protecting the phone. I didnt know they made purple though, I have only ever had the clear ones.
 
and will the work on the new 17 pro/max series cases?
They should, 5 bucks

Having a hard time choosing a case this time. I used a ringke rigged (camo) in the 16 the whole time and it was alright. Always desired something a bit more grippy and that back was a little slippery even though it was textured.

Looking between magbak elite, cudabe synthesis (that frosted back looks so good). Or sheath. Or even phone rebel frosted. Not really looking for a leather case.

I’m ok with buying a cheap case to hold me over till other stuff starts shipping.
Any recommendations?
 
Nice, I like this one :) can you post a picture of the camera control button and let us know how it works?
Sorry, I’ve returned the case now as it made the phone feel too bulky for me 😕 I loved the look but prefer the clickiness of the buttons on the techwoven case
 
I’ll be honest, this is why I’m hesitating about making my return. They are so non responsive in almost tempted to keep the frosted synthesis (or sell it) since god knows when I’ll actually get the money back
Yea, it's a popular case and I'm sure someone here would buy it. Sell it a little cheaper, cut your loses and call it a day.
Better than dealing with Caudabe.
 
FWIW Liz finally got back to me this morning. I requested an order cancellation and refund Sept 27th. I guess better late than never?

Edit: I should note this was Caudabe, I guess not everyone knows who Liz is although she is becoming infamous here
Sent a cancellation request on October 8. Guess I still have awhile to wait, then. Debating if I should just contact my credit card company.

I have to admit, I really miss having a black iPhone. This silver only looks good with certain cases, where I felt the black looked unreal with anything…especially all these precise Caudabe cases, the black iPhone would look amazing but if I get a black sheath this year I’m going to have silver/white showing all around my camera lenses smh
Reason I havn't upgraded, would never get silver, maybe blue but would have to go all blue.
Black is my go, I do have a nomad modern brown but wouldn't get that colour again.
 
It really is a sad state of affairs :(
I received a shipping notification from Arc today that simultaneously says “package not received” and “to be delivered today”. Plus, according to the tracking, my shipment from Pitaka has been in the air from Hong Kong for 5 days now… lol. It’s really quite the 💩 show this year, I’m assuming due to the chaos caused by the tariffs.

Thankfully, I’m fully satisfied with my Apple clear case (never thought those words would come out of my mouth—I think Apple really nailed their cases this round), so if the other cases never show up, I’ll just reverse the charges and move along.

What was the point of opening a UK warehouse. I just dont get it.

US customer base for Caudabe is far bigger than UK so I get that they struggling with US stock.

Did they open an empty UK warehouse space
 
How long must we wait for delivery?
I waited exactly 4 weeks for my 17 Pro Max Precise Gray Sheath. Ordered 9/13, Delivered 10/11.

Granted I received it a lot earlier than their estimated “Mid-October” ship time, which they said is the 16th-25th 😂
