Wonder if anyone remembers the cool "Fuzzy Bear" case I had several years ago?
 
Additionally, I don’t remotely understand the love that some of these brands get. Unless you work for them or they give you free stuff, I really don’t get the “loyalty”
In my opinion, overzealous brand loyalty is often more about defending a purchase decision rather than being about the product itself. I chose this product, and since it’s the “best” product, it follows I’m good/smart/competent. The louder the defense, the more obvious it’s about the person, not the product.

You're not wrong, but then again, people like what they like and that doesn't mean they're a case/company zealot.

I'm a Caudabe faithful and have been since the beginning. But you don't see me in this thread bashing folks for whom their cases aren't their cup of tea. Because what works for one person may not for another. And that's ok.

For instance, people gripe how the Sheath used to be so much thinner and lighter, but what I remember is how I didn't necessarily think it was that protective back then. Heck, I remember getting the first Sheath they made for the S21 Ultra, and how it was basically a skin compared to the Sheath for the iPhone of the same generation. But it felt awesome so that was the case I used the most on that phone.

I’ll take the more weighty and protective Caudabe cases of today. But it’s ok if others feel differently.
 
Moft snap case Tombogo collab edition came in. Very nice, perfect fit. Buttons a little stiff but I’d rather that than wobbly buttons

Totally agree, liking a product doesn’t make someone a zealot. But, when they jump on every opportunity to defend their chosen brand, it can appear to cross over into something else.

This is not unique to this forum or phone cases in general (spend a little time on the audiophile forums to see it taken to the next level). I’m sure this is common in all of the online communities where enthusiasts gather.
