Can’t seem to find a clear one with MagSafe and empty plateau. Spigen, TORRAS and ESR all have the camera plateau covered. :(
 
Anyone order the new MagSafe wallets? I’m assuming they’re FineWoven material and not techwoven since it’s still listed under FineWoven
 
So I received the black TechWoven yesterday and put my 16 Pro Max in it for a test run. I used it most of the day yesterday and this morning and already barely 24 hours later, the corners of the case, the fabric is looking “ashy” from being held in hand. I even grabbed a moist rag to clean it and it just comes right back to looking the same. I can only imagine after daily use how it’ll look.

Yes it definitely is much better than FineWoven. It feels great in hand as well. I ran my nail across it and no scratch but this wear on the sides already after barely handling it is a pass for me on this case. Not trying to rain on anyone’s TechWoven parade just sharing. It’s going back not worth the premium $60 price imo.

Interesting….. thanks for that. I’ll see it goes with my blue one.

Apple do warn on the packaging about wearing with age but not that soon

Generic case for my silver 17PM until the Caudabe comes in. 16PM natural titanium in it for reference.
 
How is the FineWoven one? I was really hoping the new wallet would be techwoven since I heard subpar things about FineWoven
It’s fine. I didn’t mind FineWoven cases either. I smudged up easily but can also be easily cleaned compared to leather. Since using an Apple MagSafe wallet, I could never go back. So nice to not sit on a wallet in my back packet

Now that the Pro phones have symmetrical speaker/mic holes on the bottom, I’m more interested in cases like Mous and Rhinoshield that never changed their cutouts to be asymmetrical like the phones previously were.
 
Ultimately went with the Rhinoshield Mod NX bumper for my orange 17 Pro. It's the closest I could find to Apple's own bumper for the Air. I've had a few of their bumpers in the past and they're always solid.

I liked their bumper but they’re too bulky for me now, since I like going caseless. I thought about using bumpers and a back glass protector again, but will use the Süti case first.
 
Not getting many cases this year. These are on my radar but haven't ordered anything yet.

Nomad Rugged Orange
Nomad Sport Volt
Beats Rugged Orange
Caudabe Sheath black
Caudabe Paragon orange
TechWoven green
Mous aramid fiber or black leather

and that's about it.
 
Got the 17PM Tech Woven case in today and so far I'm a fan. Looks great and feels good in the hand, nice grip on the sides. I have no experience with Fine Woven so I can't compare the two.
 
Zensõ can you do some of your photoshop magic and put the orange pro max phone in this case?

I thinking it's going to clash pretty bad 🤢
