iPhone 17/Air/Pro/Pro Max Cases

IMO Apple Silicone hands down, without a doubt is the benchmark for form factor. It forms to the 17Pro almost exactly with the continuous round edges. For me form wise closest to holding a naked 17Pro. And the weight is probably a factor too.

The only problem is its silicone. To me the Caudabe Sheath 15 Pro was the closest to the Apple Silicone in form and specs(not weight), without being silicone.

Hopefully the sheath will meet your expectations.

I love the silicone feel a lot! The Apple silicone and the techwoven are my favorite cases. The look, feel, and fit are just perfect, imo.

The Apple silicone is a dream to hold.

The Beats on the Air has a similar feel with the nice rounded back edges—it’s extremely comfortable. It is more slippery though. The big advantage for me is that it doesn’t have the lint problem that most have with the silicone. Trade offs…

How is the mous case for the 17 pro max? I know the edges scratch easily on the camera bump but what about the space between the lens and flash et - flat area of the bump?

what about the Torras o stand Q3 Air?

I’m not having too much problem with lint. I wear a certain type of pants with a dedicated cell phone pocket.

Always felt that the 15Pro Sheath was an almost closest to the Apple silicone without the silicone besides the weight.

Apple Silicone form wise closest to holding to holding a naked 17 Pro?

Not knocking what you’re saying but any ultra slim cases are closest form wise to holding naked iPhone imo.

After using for example a Pitaka ultra slim Apple silicone feels bulky and no longer like a naked iPhone feel.

Also speaking of Apple cases Techwoven is a tighter fitting form. Apple silicone feels bloated compared to Techwoven.

I agree that the aramid (and Peel type) cases are the closest in form to the raw phone simply because they’re so incredibly thin. I don’t always find them the most comfortable though, mainly due to the cutouts. Some of that may be because I’m a lefty and my fingers land in different spots on the phone than right handers.

Anyone have/had Decoded cases? Almost zero reviews online. Looks interesting, especially the leather one. Although the lipage issue is unclear and metal-on-metal plateau cover is a bit worrisome…

I got them in but haven’t had a chance to try them out. I will and will report back.

Yea what good is a case that isn’t comfortable though?

 

[Brian’s Tech]

Damn it! Was thinking on holding out a little while.. just ordered

I actually really like the purple and orange combo. I’ve been using it more than the black Aspen, which is surprising to me 😂

After watching that video has made me not want an Andar aspen case anymore for my Air. The camera control button looks really offset. Is this actually the case ? Both my Torro and Bellroy are pretty much aligned in the middle.

Actually ignore me. I think it is the camera angle and quality.

Out of the whole video you caught one part where the camera was trying to focus. Definitely not a camera quality issue 😂.

Just jokes of course. Here is a still photo for you. No, it’s not off center.

 

[maxrest]

I personally don’t notice a big difference in thickness/bloat between my silicone and techwoven. Both are excellent cases and not bulky at all, at least from my opinion of what constitutes bulk.

Cheers for clarifying. I will still wait for their next batch with bigger usb-c port opening so it can fit my usual Anker cables.

Been told mid-Dec when they will be available.

Torras case has a weird gap between camera bump protection and the bump itself.
causes alot of dust and stuff to collect in there

Any different to previous Apple Silicone cases? Always thought they felt horrible.

This one feels like a dream. YMWV

@Hooterville 😂

Caudabe requested another video with iPhone installed which I sent them on my way to the airport.

Wallet couldn’t even lift the iPhone or attach to the case aligned properly.

Replacement being sent out confirmed via email.
