With the big island bumps on all the phones but the 17's. All the cases look horrible like different colored minions
cheapest multi pack I can find; all these glass screen protectors are the same
Looks decent on silver just don’t like the open bottomDamn I hate living so close to the Apple Store 😂 …I am actually liking the clear case. Buttons seemed improved from previous years. I went silver so its gonna look so clean.
I’ve had the clear cases for last few years and always liked them. Not this year however as I don’t think the white back looks good with the blue pro max. Shame they don’t do a version to match the blue or orange phones. A coloured panel would work well.
I really like the open bottom. Don’t like a lip when I swipe up find it much nicer to use
Looking for a little advice - I’m only using cases that have a wrist strap attach point so I don’t have to have the phone directly on my body in my pocket. I have seen some of the lanyards with the inch wide piece that fits inside the case where the USB-C port is (“tether tab”) but I haven’t used one yet. The generic ones aren’t going to fit on any case that doesn’t have full coverage like the Pitaka edge. Looks like nomad has an indent for their own strap and tether tab.
Cases I purchased to try out on Friday for an iPhone 17 Pro - all have wrist strap holes already
Spigen Enzo Aramid T
ESR Classic Hybrid Magnetic
Rhinoshield Bumper
Any experiences with tether tabs or other case suggestions with wrist strap holes on the lower side?

I've had ESR for past few phones...and for the price, way better than Zagg and Belkin. I know those two brands have replacement warranties of sorts, but I have only used 1 of 3 for my 16PM in the past year. Going with these:
ESR Screen Protector
ESR Accessory Glass by Corning 3 Pack 9H+ Glass for iPhone 17 Pro Max Screen Protector, with AR Anti-Reflective Technology, Military Grade Shatterproof & Durable with UltraFit Tray

On my 16PM - perfect...never disturbed by the case lip. I used: Quadlock, Spigen UHTM, Benks ArmorPro 600D, Apple Silicon, Otterbox Lumen, and Ryan London. No issues.
Terra Cotta aka Pumpkin pie …the only Apple silicone color I like for the 17PM. Fall vibes all day long.
Much better than the orange, nearly bought it myself but talked myself out of it after having three Apple silicone for the 16 PM. Love the feel and look at first but they soon lose their powdery feel and get harder to keep clean.
one of the best cases out there though until that happens.

I rotate enough cases to not have this problem. My storm gray silicone for the 16PM still looks crispy and mint.
Think the Apple Silicone cases look and feel great, I just can't get past how oily/grubby a lot of them start to look after a few days. Would definitely have it as a year-round case if they could somehow reduce the appearance of finger marks/oilyness.
Buttons are much better on the clear case over the silicone case
The clear case with the white rectangular patch looks good with a white iPhone. But it'll look odd with a blue or orange phone :SDamn I hate living so close to the Apple Store 😂 …I am actually liking the clear case. Buttons seemed improved from previous years.
