@thatappleguytoday are you getting any pitaka cases? Are they worth it?
I feel like they are a lot of beautiful nothing for a steep price. I returned two because one of the corners kept popping out. The third version was okay, but still not perfect in that regard. Also, even though the corner easily pops out, it's incredibly hard to get off the phone. It's very pretty, yes, and adds almost no weight to the phone. But also almost no protection. Broke a screen protector when my phone gently slipped off my driver seat onto the driveway. So pretty and grippy, yes. Protective: not so much.
 
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

Fingerprints for sure. But the look and feel is precise. Buttons feel great too. We will see if it makes the cut. I have dbrand ghost cases coming tomorrow or Saturday at the latest. Really can’t wait for those to arrive.

Very cool! Do you think the TW material can be cleaned as easily as a the silicone cases (with an alcohol wipe)?

Is the TW material like cloth, or more like plastic?

Thanks!

Yeah should be able to clean it easily but i think coating will be durable.

Thanks... with the silicone case, a child with grubby fingers can smear it with ketchup and it'll be easily cleanable.

Do you think that kind of thing will ruin the TW?

Personally I think they are washable but not tried. I might apply ceramic coating on mine.

Thanks for letting me know.
 
Has there been a huge change in the "midnight" silicone color?

The Apple screenshots make "black" on the iPhone 17 pro case look like what "midnight" used to be on the iPhone 14 pro case:

I believe black will happen after they dump enough silver, orange and blue :oops:

I love me some orange, just don't know if I can live with that orange pro max full time :confused:

Really don't want silver or blue :(

I know what you mean.

I’ll be ordering both Orange and Blue. Will decide later which one to keep.

Im getting the pro max solely because i need the battery (currently have to charge my 16 pro max twice a day and even then its at like 5% when im going to bed) but mannnnnn that 17 air would look nice in an Andar case. Looks nice to hold View attachment 2537817
Thats the one I ordered to go with my Black Air... but, last minute waffling has me going light blue...Always had all black or space grey.. undecided at the moment.

The Andar will be here Saturday

Wow! You have the Ghost case coming already? I ordered mine, and it just says shipping in September. I did pay for express shipping, though.

I really like dbrand, but they’re definitely not known for their speedy shipping. Every time I’ve ordered from them, seems like it always takes at least 2 weeks.

I ordered a cheapie case snd protector from Amazon that should be here tomorrow to use while I’m waiting for dbrand.
 
I caved and set up a pre-order for a white Air (yeah, I know — I told you so and all that… lol). Here’s my starter pack. Undoubtedly others will be added over time.

Be careful with the clear Süti. It’s going to scratch like no other. The only good thing is, I sent pictures to Süti and they sent me a second case free of charge, which of course did the same thing, so I didn’t order another clear case.

Thanks, good to know. I’m not really concerned about cases scratching to be honest. The phone is another matter though. 😊
