Could you please post a photo of how the blue case looks on the blue phone?
There you go!

I think I will be returning the Torras Q3 Air? The metal piece on the inside that holds the ring sticks out a bit and I'm worried it will scratch the back of the phone.... 🥴 Is it like that on all the Torras Ring cases?!
 
Which case do you like the best? The ghost on the silver PM takes my vote.
More importantly, which phone are you going to keep?

Ghost on the silver is definitely the winner so far, but this Terra Cotta sili is pretty nice looking too

Honestly I’m leaning towards the PM. The Air isn’t doing it for me. It’s a gorgeous device, just not sure how I want to manage the battery on a daily basis. The single camera and speaker doesn’t bother me. I know it’ll eventually come down to battery life. Feel in hand is perfect and better than the PM.

Now when they slim down the Air even more next year and make it into a Fold, I’m all over that.
 
I told myself that this year I will not buy too many cases as I could fill 2 Shopping Bags with 16 Pro Max Cases.

I preordered the Benks Armor Pro and Montage Pro because they switched back to Metal Buttons. So far I love the case. At least until my blue Sheath will arrive. With the hope they don`t mess it up with the new Material.
Also the Otterbox Cactus looks nice again this year.
 
I truly hope so. I was texting with an actual person from Andar when I was considering my purchase. When I asked about the CC button, I assumed that same person was answering. If it was a clueless bot, that's a different story. Not for you but for the other guy—no need to call people names because they're going by information they got from the maker of the case.
but in the picture you posted theres a cc button. i don’t know how you can’t see it. and there has never been a phone that black and shiny if you see the cc as an open hole and you’re seeing the phone inside. theres no i truly hope so. it has a cc button.
 
Ok. I love how my iPhone 17 Pro Max looks with the OtterBox Defender Series. However, something feels off on the right side, near the Camera Control button. It doesn’t make a proper “click,” so it feels a bit loose there. Also, if I press slightly above it, the Camera Control gets activated even though I didn’t actually press the button.
Anyone with this situation?

Totally agree with you.

Love the look and feel of the Air but I’m a heavy user and using my back up 13 Pro for the last few weeks and having to charge constantly drove me crazy.

Also loving the terra cotta silicone case too!

That silver is the winner this year imo. So clean pops off everything so well. Orange is fun tho and that blue is sweet too from what we’ve seen sir far.
 
@thatappleguytoday is the dbrand ghost for the air as slim as apples shadow case? do you have an early favorite for the air? thanks!

The Apple shadow case is the slimmest of all the cases I have. If you can deal with fingerprint smudges, the case feels great in the hand. I am not a fan of the ghost for the air, but like it for the PM. The Andar Aspen in brown is easily my favorite case for the Air.

My Black Air came, wa planning on returning this case (mistake from Totallee, no MagSafe) but I thought I'd pop it on and TBH, I love it. Works good with MagSafe for day to day. Didn't open Apple Black case, or Apple bumper. may just sent those back. This case is super thin.. I will put a screen protector on tonight. Still undecided on keeping blue Andar Aspen, it is REALLY nice but so thick compared to this one. it's really hard to get a concept unless you hold it. Likely wouldn't do well in a big drop, but for daily stuff it'll be just fine. So happy I decided against the Comic Prange Pro Max

Edit: Aww hell.. just realized I had opened the Apple Case. I can return it to Apple, but TBH.. it's not 1/2 bad either, and it does have a little raisivity over the Totallee Scarf 👍

The Air detractors can suck it :) this thing rocks!

Honestly thought I was going to love the Nomad traditional leather case and have it as my only case. But one of the corners doesn’t sit correctly where the screen is nearly flush with the case. So for now that will be going back and the tech woven will be the one.

Same... Apple Shadow does feel nice, fingerprint magnet though. The Totallee is SUPER thin.. and the Aspen is beautiful

I may keep those three and maybe order the Pitaka when they have the PitaTap in the Air.
 
I like this a lot but damn that "plateau" area with all that exposed aluminium looks vulnerable. I know there's a small lip but with the amount of times people pick up/put down their phones I just can't see it not picking up scratches during its lifetime. I guess a compromise is those stick on 'camera area' protectors but not a fan of those.

Would have bought this case, but going to stick with the Sheath and have that whole plateau covered.
 
Wonder is those stiff/scratchy sides of the Phone Rebel cases will scratch the 17 Pro/Max finish to death?
Hard to say. Back in the day, before the move to stainless and titanium, I do recall cases sometimes marring the rim of the phone (you probably experienced that too?). For that reason, I wouldn’t change cases nearly as often as I do now. Might have to be more careful and swap less frequently…
