That’s light. The only case I know of that might be lighter is the Arc Pulse. For the 16PM it weighs 18 grams; I’m assuming it’s a little lighter for the Air.
Got a tip for us?

Super slippery bar of soap and somehow heavy;

As great as it was before. Solid choice and can’t go wrong with it in the pile for the money && let’s orange subtlety peek through around camera rings in back: Ringke Onyx for iPhone 17 Pro... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FL898HHH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

i ordered this on etsy
Are these cactus cases fairly slim in hand??
Really tempted to try the blue one. Only thing that puts me off is the silver buttons
A yay from me so far.
I personally am liking the feel and texture in hand and don’t have any glue issues on mine. I don’t think the texture inside the case is going to be an issue; in my opinion, this is people looking for fault. Apple wouldn’t release a case that directly damages the phone.
Is it worth waiting for the Caudabe Sheath? Ordering from Europe with customs, it becomes quite expensive and I am wondering if it’s even worth going for it.
I’m a huge fan of Moft cases, I’ve used them for the 15 Pro Max and the 16 Pro Max - they’re the closest thing I’ve found to Apple’s old leather cases, as I’m one of those weird people who doesn’t like the patina.
They seem to be a fair bit lighter this year. I’ve got an iPhone Air on the way and it’s 31g, which isn’t too bad?
I only need a case for when I’m travelling into the office a few days a week, or going out at night so I can sit it down on a restaurant table for example, all other times it’ll be caseless. I’d also prefer a case with micro fibre lining to protect it.
Has anyone else ordered or looking at the Moft case? Or know of anything similar?
Just worried that, even though it’s lighter than I thought it’d be, it’ll be too much for the Air.

Green techwoven all the way for the master chief look. Black cactus looks awesome too sir!
My Pro now lives in its Apple Clear Case because I haven’t figured out yet how to get it off without warping the case permanently 🫠 but in this combo, the phone feels like a smooth little pebble. Love it. 🥰
Also picked up a Purple Fog silicone case from the Apple Store just now, even though I’m not the biggest fan of silicone. But it’s so pretty! How these stores operate on release days is a mystery to me though 😂 - pure chaos. Used self checkout for the first time - very convenient. And very weird feeling just waltzing out the store with a case without speaking to anybody 😅

I am currently running the Apple Clear case as well. Not sure I dig the smoothness all around. My preference is hybrid clear cases like the dbrand ghost 2.0. I have than one too
Stormtrooper combo is immaculate. Clint the same with silver pm and black silicone. Might have to break out the techwoven that I have as well. This looks awesome.

Loving this stormtrooper combo. TW feels really good in the hand and it shows the color of the phone in the front as well.
Yeah, I used self checkout once and was just waiting to be tackled as I sauntered out the front of the store… lol.
Yes cactus has always been good about being minimal but with good protection
Very true. I’ve dropped my 15PM several times in the cactus and it’s protected it well. I even dropped it hard enough to split the top of the cactus open. This is the longest I’ve ever used a case (2 years).
