I have this lunar gray Nomad Modern case on order. Think this is going to look great against the silver PM. Was a favorite form fitting case for me last year. Should be perfect now with a CC button.

Browsing Amazon, still so many companies not doing a CC button. Even I see Spigen with majority of their cases missing a button this year. Maybe it’s just render photos, but doesn’t look promising.

It's a very smooth but grippy, hard plastic shell, the buttons are floating though. Guess I'll find out how clicky they are. I like the overall feel of it.

So they added a white rectangular patch under the same MagSafe rings to avoid the clash with the new Apple logo position on the phone. I still think they could’ve just done a circle with open bottom like the other third party clear cases.

Beats Rugged most likely will be going back. £80 for a case and guess whats missing? The CC button.

Unless they have pulled off a miracle I do not think this is the button. Its just a cover.

So the CC button fell out already? You earlier pic showed the button on the case?

No. Buttons are removable and swappable.

The CC button looks nothing like other Apple buttons.

Odd as you would think Apple makes these Beats cases anyway as they own them and can just use the same CC buttons.

I do like the look of the Beats rugged but don’t really understand the extra premium (more expensive than the TW)

has anyone compared Pitaka and Caudabe? i only tried Pitaka, it seemed slippery. my favorite case is UAG dot, it's probably made of silicone and dots, which is great for grip, but i couldn't find anything similar
 
My TechWoven just arrived and the back is clearly made of a much more durable material than the FineWoven. I wonder how the sides will hold up; that part of the case feels pretty similar to the FineWoven version to me, and that was the part of my FineWoven case that held up the worst.

Damn this Air gonna be crazy thin. I am honestly hyped for it. Last pic compared with my 16PM in an Apple silicone case. Plus the 17PM gonna be slightly thicker. Really going to be tough picking which phone to keep. Air or Pro. Are the compromises of the Air worth it for the form factor and lightness. Or is the thick boy PM worth it for the better camera system. Tough call.

Oh! I missed that one. Just ordered the clear one. That’ll hold me over until the other cases arrive in October.

They just look like fat sausage fingers in the photos 😂

The case feels great in the hand. Only a few mm wider the PM is. Plus it’s a shorter device the Air. Going to be a tough choice. The Pro used to be the premium looking device. Now it’s industrial. What a change of events.
 
I'm debating on if I should just get an apple bumper case for my Air or to wait and see what other bumper cases come out. I loved the bumpers back in my iPhone 4 days.

iPhone 4-5 days with bumpers were the best. I miss this case company. Look how I used to customize the home button too 😂 best iPhone designs back then.

To be fair Dwayne recently lost weight for a movie role 🤣

how do you think this will hold up against scratches and finger prints? is it a matte finish? i usually dont go for these types of cases but i am intrigued
