This is the Celestial Blue on my Blue 17 Pro.
I've had at least 33 different cases on my iPhone 17 Pro now. I think the only one with buttons that made noise was the Caudabe case. Like
1) I only mentioned it because I've seen others complain on here and reddit.
2) Caudabe literally made a statement about this, saying that it was a manufacturing defect and that they would be mailing new buttons to people.
"It appears a small batch of our buttons were made with slightly imprecise measurements."
Pitaka Ultra-Slim
EDIT: Unfortunately, it turns out the metal camera surround rests directly on the glass plateau. When lightly tapping the surround, you can actually hear a “clink” as it makes contact with the glass. It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful case otherwise. Just wanted folks to be aware in case they were considering ordering one. I’ll be returning mine…

paying $60 bucks for rattling buttons case is wild. My how the mighty caudabe have fallen. Used them for 5 years. Glad they ruined the 17 case. I get to explore the rest of the case world lol
@Hooterville will see how this goes tomorrow.

$12 off ain’t too bad. Next time I’ll get a TechWoven
Best Buy:
If this turns my pocket inside out like Silicone have in past it’ll be a no from me.

In the city I live in we got about 5 of them. I’m sure in California there’s a lot more lol.
So far this nomad case is nice , it is thinner than the andar but I think it’s a little wider. Buttons aren’t as clicky either
In SoCal I'd say if you go out for a drive, chances are you'll see at least one. You'll also see 2-3 teslas at every single traffic light.
Also in that "I see at least one every time I go out for a drive" list:
- VinFast SUVs.
- Lucid Air
- Rivian of some sort
- one of those GM brightdrop vans. Oddly enough one of the Amazon delivery companies just started using them. Fedex uses them. Amazon doesn't use the rivian vans here! But I do see those in orange county....
- Acura ZDX
- Toyota Supra. There's one in the neighborhood and I enjoy seeing it when I drive by.
By far the most common thing you see are Tesla Model 3/Y, Toyota Rav4, Honda CR-V, Subarus, various other Toyotas and Hondas, and Volkswagens. Most commercial vehicles are vans (chevy express, ford transit, mercedes sprinter, ford e series), and some people have Silverados or F150s or Rams but not many. Seeing a full size superduty F350 or Ram 3500 is rather rare unless you're on the freeway, in which case you see them as hotshot drivers hauling 2-3 cars on a trailer.
I would have to say the Pitika, but it's a close race
Well, this sucks. It turns out the metal camera surround on the Pitaka Ultra-Slim case sits directly on the edge of the glass plateau on the Air. In fact, if you lightly tap on the surround, you can hear a distinct “clink” as the metal contacts the glass. I can’t imagine what they were thinking with this design. I guess it will be going back to China. 🤬
Crap, I'm changing my vote to the Arc
Anyone with the orange 17 PM and the arc pulse? I have enough cases already but want to buy this.
Would a matte skin fit under the arc pulse or will it just peel off?
