First time on  clear cases but love this combo. I’m a clear case guy and the Apple logo which isn’t symmetrical this year drives me crazy on third party clear cases!!

Looks great on the silver. Not so much on the blue or orange. They should have done something different with that biga$$ white MagSafe pad. I usually do clear cases as well. Not this go round.

yes like it out of all cases I tried (Spigen Enzo Aramid, TechWoven and MOFT Movas) ..

it is not bulky (feels lighter than abovementioned cases) ... it should be around 30g

Im not aware of any discount code unfortunately

Bluebonnet as a company is trash.

  • CS told me the case would be shipped by 10/13 or 10/14.
  • I asked them to cancel the order when I hadn’t received tracking info by 10/17.
  • They responded on 10/20, completely ignoring my cancellation request and said the case would go out by 10/23 or 10/24.
  • I emailed them again today to say I still want it canceled and noting they missed their claimed shipping date again, in addition to totally ignoring my request to cancel.
  • They replied, ignoring my request to cancel, and said tracking would be up by 10/25

I want nothing to do with them. I’ve submitted a dispute.

Update on this: I sent them a subsequent email (after submitting the CC dispute) aggressively demanding they cancel the order and shaming them for both being deceptive about initial stock and ignoring multiple explicit requests for cancellation.

Finally they relented and cancelled the order.

Also canceled my Sheath order given the constantly changing timeline and the less-than-stellar quality impressions many have of these first rounds of Sheaths going out. I’ll be sticking with my Apple Silicone for now, with an eye to get a second case from neither of these case makers in the future. I’ll be keeping an eye on which ones are the community-reviewed MVPs over the next few months!

I had a sheath on my 12PM and 14PM, but this year decided to branch out. I’ve got a Pitaka Ultraguard case currently and a Techwoven sienna case on order. Sometime before next spring I’ll pick up a Quadlock case for my cycling activities, and I’ll probably end up with a Nomad leather case too.

That pitaka looks pretty good and being 10g less than a sheath is a plus.
How does it feel in hand compared to the caudable? Slippery?
What about lip protection? Is there still some lip when using a screen protector?

I’m thoroughly enjoying my Apple silicone. Feels great in the hand.

I had similar in the past but kept losing them because they didn’t have anything to attach too.

That sounds like a good idea to have especially now with the cold months coming and keeping my phone in one of my jean pockets. The only thing keeping me from buying these is if I upgrade next year.

Sick combo! how are you liking it?
Click to expand...
I actually really like it!

I’ve gotten really picky with full coverage cases as I have gotten used to ultra slim aramid fiber cases (Benks, Pitaka) and nothing has appealed to me full coverage wise.

I love the weight of it, right around 35g which keeps the phone feeling light. Again being used to super light weight ultra slims. Anything above this weight for me honestly is complete no go.

It is slim feeling, that’s another plus in my opinion. I don’t like bulky cases as at all. I know you do Apple Silicones and this is definitely slimmer.

Aluminum buttons feel and look premium with no rattle. The texture of the case is grippy but not overly grippy and doesn’t pick up a bunch of lint or fingerprints. Feels durable and low maintenance as well.

The Black and Deep Blue is a very nice pairing in my opinion. The black is more of a really dark gray so it’s like a dark gray/blue combo. The black pairs well with any color of course.

It’s a keeper, this is THE full coverage for me. Nothing else out there sparks my interest. So the Pitaka Ultra Slim and Apple Techwoven are the two best cases for me personally.

I have been using the ESR Cloud case with a metal stand around the plateau since the day it arrived. I have had no signal issues what so ever with it. The metal is not on the inside and does not touch the phone at all. It has been a solid case and with the PR Gen7 and dbrand Tank preordered, something is going to have to be better than this case for me to swap out.

In practice, there may not be noticeable issues. I can't say, not having had tried such a case yet.

However, those warnings come from Apple engineering drawings, and design guidelines, not marketing, and were not put there by mistake, so on some objective level, the engineers determined they are justified, even if there are no perceived problems by end users on a practical level.

Love the look of the TechWoven (one of the best looking cases for the 17 Pro in my opinion), but have seen/heard enough examples of people dropping them and there being damage to the phone, particularly when you use a screen protector with it as there's no lip/raised edge. One of the best case reviewers on YouTube (MobileReviewsEh) said similar - it looks great, and the back protection is fair, but you wouldn't want to drop it face down on the screen.

If it had better drop protection I'd be all over it but I'm just not convinced.

He has good things to say about the Apple silicone.
