The black skin wasn’t perfectly precisely cut, but it definitely helps with the orange showing through.

Anyone tried these?? I like the look of the pattern in it, but what’s the film everyone is using?

I don’t see a huge need for it, but figured I’d waste a few bucks!
Believe it or not, I actually have these coming. They look much nicer than the regular old clear skins. They ship from China and hopefully I'll have them sometime next week. Ordered them about 7 days ago.
They were like $13.00 for two but they charge like $10. for shipping.
I do have a tracking # - just waiting for them to hit the US

Just noticed they raised the price since I ordered them.

No kidding! I’m excited to hear your thoughts. I had them all queued up for purchase then I balked because there was only one shipping “speed” and I figured they would be coming slow boat from china…. Patience isn’t my strong suit when it comes to my online orders lol.

Wish Amazon had them.

Yea, their video sold me on these. I just checked the tracking, and they have arrived in the US, should have them next week.

This is where I first saw them:

I spoke with Pitaka and they are saying the metal plateau surround on their Ultra-Slim cases does not touch the glass back on the Air. Mine definitely did, but perhaps it was defective. To find out for sure, I have an Ultra-Slim Black/Gray 600D arriving tomorrow to get to the bottom of it. I’ll report back.

In the meantime, I’m back in the Apple. At 21 grams—for a total of 186 grams total on the phone—this combo is so nice, light, and a pleasure to use.

The guy also put some lotion on his hands before he started an aramid case video o_O

Not sure he is playing with a full deck.
I frequently see people (not dead ones) putting lotion on their hands and using their phone right after. Not a fan of that… I believe it’s common in everyday life though.

Before tap-to-pay I used to hate when cashiers used lotion, then touched my credit card. I’m very finicky about that kind of thing. It feels weird / slimy on the plastic card 😳

I have very dry hands in the winter, but I refrain from using lotion unless I’m not touching anything.
 
Bullstrap Leather case for iPhone Air.

I know a lot of people don't like what they did with the camera bump but that's actually my favorite part. It doesn't wobble and when you set it down you're not setting it down on metal but soft leather. It just feels nice.

The Apple 2m USB-C cable fits fine.
The button quality still stinks compared to Andar.
The camera control button could be better. It works but it could feel better around the edges.

I have a DBrand 17 Pro Ghost case that I got for free(don’t ask how) that I’m giving away for free, you pay shipping. Was used maybe for a week before I switched to the Apple Silicone. Don’t see me using it.

The first PM gets it.
Nice of you to do that 😎

That is beautiful! Makes me more excited about my black Ryan London case arriving in a few weeks (they say on their website they’ll start shipping from November 10th, with a shipping time across the canal of 12-18 days 🐌, so we’ll see)

I want to see more pics and opinions of dbrand grip case.

Who has one?!?!
i have one for the air. it weighs around 45 grams and i notice it compared to the apple shadow case. i love the feel of the case. i've said it before, if it didn’t have the slope and huge plateau cover and just a normal camera surround it would be on my phone permanently. i put my phone in it for a few hours at a time but go back to the shadow case.
