The Dbrand Ghost really looks fantastic on the Silver, top stuff!

Unfortunately, I’m not a fan of the full cover over the camera plateau as I think that hampers heat dissipation too much. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but prefer that case that just have a rim around the plateau for a more basic protection?

The dbrand ghost 2.0 is a great case and very well engineered! I rock it as a secondary case for my silver 17 pro when the need arises for something rugged. My primary is Arc Pulse.

I am not a fan of the full cover over the camera plateau (and closed bottom) for a different reason. I prefer the minimalist open bottom and plateau.

I’ve returned a bunch of cases and have not had a problem (yet), though some have reported having their accounts suspended because of too many returns. No one seems to know what triggers it, but logically you’d assume it’s a metric of purchases versus returns.

I suppose it helps that I always get refunds in Amazon credit as I buy a lot from them.

OH! Does anyone have any suggestions for a case similar to what Caudabe offers? I love their sheath cases and I want to find something similar for my Air. I have a sheath case pre-ordered but I am just seeing if anyone knows anything thats similar with full protection as what I have found is no camera control protection.

Tineeowl is the closest to the Sheath. However, it’s not available yet, but soon, according to their instagram account and in my opinion it looks very good! I have it for my 16 pro max and although not as good as the sheath in terms of quality, the much cheaper price completely makes up for it.

Phone Rebel, how well will the finish of the camera plateau fair with this huge honking slab of metal rubbing it to death?

I realize you can use it without this piece, but this thing gives me nightmares :rolleyes:

Not slippery at all.

I have the same combo - orange PM with the green Apple TW case. I got mine Friday afternoon, and I’m already seeing a tiny bit of wear, similar to the user that first reported it here.

I love everything else about the TW. I’m not sure about longevity though - not a good sign. My Gripzilla still looks brand new after 2 years of use!

Are your edges showing discoloration and getting darker?

A little bit.

Also, there’s only tiny, tiny spot (I don’t want to call it a hole), but in the right light you can see wear - almost like where the cloth material just every so slightly is pulling apart.

It’s hardly noticeable now, but I wonder what will happen in say a few months.

Finally settled on a case.

Went with the Beats one, and it feels great. Much higher quality than I was expecting and I love that the bottom is cut out, makes swiping up feel better.

My only minor criticism is that it is a tad slippery, but apart from that, it’s excellent!

I was hoping someone else would comment!

I ordered that blue/green Beats along with the apple green TW. They are very similar. I like both. I like the green TW color more to be honest, but the Beats is made of a slightly different material that may be more durable.

I may return this blue/green color and get the black Beats. Wish the price would come down though!

That’s sharp. The finish looks much better than the glossy finish they had last year. How is it for fingerprints?

Yeah I wasn’t keen on the gloss finish of last years ones.

Not sure if it’s because it’s new or not, but so far, not a single finger print in sight. The finish seems very resistant to smudges and prints which is good.

It feels great.

Yep, I was gonna say, can’t speak for the black color, but for the teal like colored one, it’s not showing fingerprints!

Where did you order your black one? Amazon is selling it for $80. Had a feeling I should have ordered black when it was on sale a couple of days ago.

Problem with my Benks ArmorPro 600D - top lip is NOT flush with the phone and it bows up or outward. Putting a claim in with them today. Disappointing as everything else about the case I like. 😕

I’m looking for a good case for my iPhone 17 in Sage. Mous makes the Limitless in Sage, but it’s £60! Has anyone tried it and found it worth the price, or would a Spigen, ESR, or Torras case do just as good a job for less?

Same with me, bought another from Amazon (first straight from Benks) and it's the same. Same on the sides too to a lesser degree.

Could you pair the sunset with the silver? I am thinking about this combo but unsure how it will look…
Click to expand...
Sorry I’ve already returned both the Sunset case and the Silver iPhone.

I settled on the Moonstone with the Deep Blue.

It’s just an amazing pairing and I don’t really switch out cases once I lock in with something so that’s the combo for me this year.

But here’s a rendering of the two paired together from Pitaka’s website.
