Does anyone have any experience with Dbrand skins? Contemplating one to cover the back and plateau so I'm not limited on case options. Just curious if the skin will hold up inside the case and if the quality there is good.

Good to see Otterbox bringing back the Symmetry Cactus case with a CC button this time :)

The Cactus was one of my favorite cases.

I'll wait until it's on Amazon before ordering one.

holy crap, thanks for this! I've missed the cactus, it's like a fusion of old caudabe and apple leather thinness. day 1 amazon purchase for me as well

Anyone have a clear case recommendation that is also clear on the back and has a camera control button? Thinking of going with Spigen because I've had good experiences with their cases, but the back isn't really clear.

Does anyone have experience with ESR's clear cases? Amazon reviews say that it yellows pretty quickly.
 
Yeah, by now pretty much everyone is set on cases for the prior year model. If they don’t sell I’ll donate them.

Noticed in an unboxing video on YT that Mous still ships these with a piece of green tape holding in this new button o_O

First year since the iPhone 4 that I haven’t pre-ordered. I’m genuinely concerned about the switch back to Aluminum just as I’ve been getting used to using my 16PM mostly naked+Suti Phoneback when outdoors. The desert titanium has been absolutely perfect. Zero scuffs. I’m hopeful that the durability tests will help shed some light. I don’t want to got to the smaller Air because I like big screens and I cannot lie.

Anyone else?

The Nomad Rugged and the Peak Design cases seem to use the same poly subframe with lanyard attachments, at least they did for the 15PM and 16PM. The Rugged has a decent screen lip.
Yeah currently rocking the nomad rugged case for my iPhone 15 pro max. But they have changed the design and require an extra anker to be attached for a strap.

Saw that the Torras Q3 Air has a lanyard hole at the bottom. But the lip is quite low.

Went with Ryan London. Asked ChatGPT to recommend a leather case as close to the original ones Apple used to make. Ryan London was in the top 3. Hadn't heard of them before, but a couple of searches show they are popular on here, and I'm happy to support local.

In the Mous promo videos they have supposedly updated it so that it isn’t a push out. Mine should be here tomorrow from Amazon, so I’ll be able to report.
Nice, you also have the cactus coming tomorrow? Pics please ;)

Had Ryan London for my 16PM. Nice packaging and presentation. Great product. Leather is a little on the softer side, so a bit more susceptible to scratches. Great buttons and CC button was solid. It should do you well.
