iPhone 17/Air/Pro/Pro Max Cases

China plateau protector on and it's pretty good. Is it on perfect, no, but do I peel it off and try the second one?

Over to the left a little too far

These are a one-shot freehand deal. Leave it or try the second one?

Well.

The Caudabe hate lasted a long didn’t it 😂

Multiple people who vowed never to order from them again now declaring them as the best cases.

It’s almost as if some other members had a crystal ball and could see that this would happen 😂😂😂

People just being impatient lol

That's pretty good. I'd just leave it and save the other as spare.

The Sheath was just too thick for me. Returned

Anything more than Apple’s silicone and techwoven case just seems to really bulk up the phone, imo. I tried out the sheath last year for my 16 PM and I was surprised at how much heavier my phone felt.

I’m confused. 😊

I don’t use cases but only ordered the Caudabe case for when I’m away from home for more than a day. I 99% use skins but QSkinz this year sucked so I just have a clear sticker from Aliexpress and a glass protector on the back. I have a silver bumper but it interferes with the signal so I’m on the hunt for another bumper. I don’t use my MagSafe phone backs anymore.

Round 2 is a little better

If you are careful enough, you can actually peel these up and stick them back on again.

Those look pretty good. I like the sticker option better than a skin. I’m sticking with this over the glass protectors I have.

Better alignment.

The first one, would have ended up peeling from the section between the two left camera lenses.

Looks too high now

Where did x one camera plateaus come from?

Trying to decide if I’m going to keep this one (Pitaka Ultra-Slim).

You’re going to drive him bananas… lol.

Looks too high now

I'm old, blind and lucky it's even on at all just wondering if this will play nice with precise cutout cases.

Let me slap the Sheath on and check my OCD at the curb

China

Is it safe to order a Caudabe Sheath now? I saw some older reviews on Youtube and it looks like the bottom speaker cut out isn't centered, has that been fixed in the current batch? I'm deciding between the Sheath or a Mous Limitless.

I currently have a dbrand Grip, but I'm going to return it. I'm worried about the hard plastic rubbing against the back of the phone causing scratches over time. Also the Grip is too good, it's hard to pull out of my pocket.

 

[Hooterville]

I'm going to need about 10 of these to get one on perfect

any screen protection? weight?

 

[LoveThisThing]

Aulumu case for iPhone Air. Feels and fits amazing and MagSafe is really good

mine should be here in a day or two. how do you like it?

 

[Zensō]

any screen protection? weight?

It has zero screen protection—you can clearly see the phone above the case. I like how the silver edge looks against the case, but don’t drop it.

Weight is 21 grams, same as the Apple.

China plateau protector mighty close in the TechWoven

Got my dBrand Grip today and really liking it. Similar to the Phone Rebel Air but thicker and more protective feeling. Much tighter fitting as well compared to the Air and Spigen Rugged Armor. The back doesn’t have too much grip even with the matte black skin installed. The skin makes the case look cheap in my opinion so I’ll probably remove it tomorrow.

The Otterbox cactus leather will probably get returned. The effort it took to take off to put the Grip on was kind of scary. Felt like I was going to bend the phone or break the case in half.

The Cadaube Sheath has my interest but not sure if it offers anything the Grip doesn’t and the shipping and customer service issues the last 2 months is pretty offputting.

i like the look and feel of the bare dbrand grip case. it’s different this year. report back if you do remove the skin. does it come off clean? in the past i never had good luck getting it off clean. i don’t want to apply a skin cause im not confident i’ll be able to go back to none.

Now, that's a thinny thin

Here are some pics of the Paragon Ember Precise for the 17PM. This is the first case since the 15PM that I absolutely love. At first glance the orange is beautiful. It’s bright and out in the sunlight, it will be a pop of color. I love the microfiber lining on the bottom of the case but wish it was also for the camera plateau as well. It doesn’t make my 17PM feel bulky nor heavy. To me, the back doesn’t feel slippery and the buttons do rattle if you shake the phone, which doesn’t bother me in the slightest. This will be my #1 case to use when I’m away from home more than a day. No more case searching. I also ordered some Violet buttons that were shipped out today.

So now that the Caudabe fiasco seems to be hopefully over. How’s everyone liking their Caudabe’s?

Kinda prefer my frost synthesis over the sheath, the all round grip on the sheath can be a little annoying after prolonged use. But looks wise i def prefer the sheath so ill rotate between both, great cases.

But I do miss having a stand on my cases so just ordered a Torras Q3 Air, hopefully its good.
