Ended up feeling like the Nomad modern leather felt a little too bulky compared to the Bellroy leather, so I'm gonna give their Innovera case a chance: https://bellroy.com/products/phone-case?color=innovera_black&material=innovera&size=i17pro#slide-0
I haven't seen any reviews for this so I decided to be a guinea pig. Will let you all know what I think when it arrives next week

i had a dbrand skin on my 16 pro and the arc pulse went on fine. i dropped my phone and scratched the arc pulse and my ocd didn’t allow me to keep using it. when i removed the AP the skin was perfect. ymmv
Idk man, but this is giving me flashbacks to MacBook Pro rattle issues that people were complaining about. I think this was pre or early “retina” MBP era. Plenty of videos of people vigorously shaking their laptops to produce the sound. I always wondered why people were shaking their laptops.
It’s not a defect—the metal ring is designed to rest on the glass. Don’t drop it on its back!
Anyone with a skin (e.g. XtremeSkins) covering the plateau area... do you know if it's "safe" to also fit a case to the phone which also covers the plateau (with the skin still applied underneath)? Or would it affect the fit of the case/make it too tight?
Have an XtremeSkin attached to the plateau but going to buy my first case which also covers it and would rather leave the skin on if possible.

I have a similar problem with my Benks Magnetic. I mean the metal frame doesn’t touch the plateau directly from what I can tell, but dropping the phone on the back would surely close the small gap and drive the metal into the soft Aluminium plateau and we all know how well those anodized edges hold up... I have no idea how something like that would be considered safe to drop?! I want to see drop tests with all of these metal framed cases…
Exact same with black/gray 600D version. You can fix it by putting there some tape.
I want to put photo here, but its 24MPix and forum says too big image 🫣. How can I insert photos here directly from Apple Photos without exporting on Mac. I’m on iPad currently.
Wow. A lot of those weigh more than the lonli case I have, at 40g lol. The spigen ones coming in at 65g, that's a lot! I guess it's the kickstands.
Just wait until Phone Rebel comes to market with the metal camera frame with 6 metal screws holding it on 😳
Then add in that HUGE all metal camera plateau cover deal and we will have a giant recipe for disaster 😩

Here is fix for Pitaka rattling around camera plato 😄
BTW. I returned it. I would expect perfection for that price!

What is it with Caudabe and this forum? Back with the 15 PM I bought into all the hype and ordered a Sheath to the UK. It wasn’t great, buttons were terrible and personally I found it over bulky and plasticky and the grip for my hands wasn’t that great. I got an exchange for the version with ‘fixed’ buttons and they weren’t that much better.
Fast forward 2 years and there is lots of chat about Caudabe again and people waiting for deliveries, buttons rattling etc. what is it about this company that make people keep come back despite all the issues? Something like a Spigen on next day delivery would seem to offer far more to me and for a better price

The 15pro Sheath was on my phone for 90% of the 2 years I had it. For me the Sheath checked most of the boxes.
I compared the 15pro Sheath to almost Apple silicone without the silicone. Closest to the same dimensions as the AS but about .9mm thicker than the AS. Same form factor with no sharp corners but rounded chamfered edges.
IMO at least for the 15pro AS was the best case when factoring in form factor( be the same-ish form of the iPhone) except fingerprints. That’s why the Sheath did for me, no fingerprints.
Haven’t gotten the 17pro precise yet, but I’m hoping same experience as the 15pro Sheath.
Human Nature and @Hooterville ..
Blame them.
And then @Zensō slides in (even when he for the thousandth times said no more Caudabe) with his Paragons.
That CC button on Apple silicone looks so refined compared to TW cases.

On iOS, when you click the add photo button on the forum software, choose “photo library” and it brings up the Apple Photos window. Then click on the three dots (…) in the lower left corner, then click on “options”, then choose “medium”. Then choose your photo and the software will downsample to a smaller size.

I’m still trying to decide if the frames around the TW buttons are metal or plastic? Mighty rough feeling on the inside 🤔

Thanks, but yeah, I’m not going to do that. I’m not even looking for perfection—a case that won’t destroy the phone would be sufficient… lol.
