My 1 and a half month old silicone is still in perfect shape! My previous ones from my old iPhones are also still in pretty good shape, no chips or tears, except for one in which my phone had a really bad fall. I’m usually very careful with my phone so idk if that makes a difference or I’m just really lucky haha
That looks awesome! I’ve never tried one of Pitaka’s more protective cases - only the very thin ones. I wasn’t overly impressed with Benks QC on the more protective case I got from them last year, but I think Pitaka seems to have better QC generally.
Got a Dbrand Ghost 2.0 at Best Buy today, as I’ve been wanting to try one for a while. I was nervous mostly about the CC button being overly loose.
My first one that I opened in the car had a scratch on the back right where the Apple logo is. Thankfully I was still at the store, so I walked back in and exchanged it. Second one was perfect.
Overall, I really like the size and weight of the case and the buttons are excellent! I’d like if the CC button didn’t move at all, but I don’t find it much of a big deal - even as someone who is very attuned to detail.
I don’t have a screen protector on my phone right now, so I have no issues with the lip around the screen. However, I can tell it would be nearly flush with one on, which might bother some people.
In summary, I’m thinking it will be a keeper. Now if I can just not read about any other cases…..I might be set for the iPhone 17 Pro.

Makes no difference I fear. I treated my phone with the silicone case on it like a raw egg and the case still chipped at the top. Same for @macher
idk if it’s a lottery or just bad batches in between, but I’ve never had an Apple silicone case last more than a few months without flaking off.
Oof that is some bad luck! Thankfully they’ve been really solid for me. I think the longest one I kept on was for my iPhone 11 which I used for an entire year and it has no chips or damage.
Yep my happened in a week.
Been watching reviews of the Rebel Air. Looks to have a nice form factor with rounded edges. Plus not silicone but still going to be heavy.
The Rebel Air having a really smooth back was a deal breaker for me.
Still loving this Gripzilla black/clear case. Haven’t taken it off since I got it. Comfy and looks the best with my phone out of the ones I have tried so far. Haven’t even looked to order anything else since lol.
I got nothing new, so here is the Sheath with updated buttons 
Do you notice a big difference with the new buttons?
Yes, nice tight fit, no rattling and very clicky. Big improvement over the loose ones that it came with.
Looks good. I like the covered plateau with the orange showing through.
