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.

Nah.
 
Been really happy with the ESR clear on my 17PM today! Filming and photo at a skateboarding event with my partner. Planning on swinging by Apple today to see how the line is, I tried yesterday but it was too long, I’m getting the Belkin screen protector that they apply for you because I’m too much of a fool to get the any of the fool proof protectors on by myself 😅
haha same same. I just got my Belkin UltraGlass. For some reason the entire store only had one of those machines so all the techs were trying to get the one mine was using. One guy begged to just borrow it for one installation. A lady there with her son yelled at him NO! That one's ours! Hilarious.

The charging port/hole for the Apple silicone/TW cases seem to be smaller this year.

I can't plug in the cable that I've been using for the 16PM into the 17PM with these cases properly.

Anyone else find this problem?
 
Though stainless and titanium are stronger and more resistant to dings than aluminum, which may explain why we’re seeing so many pics of damaged Pro’s on day one this year.
When I went to the Apple Store at 6:30 on Sept 19 to pick up my Ultra 3, I looked at the Pro cases to compare colors. In just one day the backs were totally scratched. I don't mean little hairline scratches. Like they were rubbed with sandpaper, just from people taking them off the chargers and putting them back. Made me glad I had ordered cases and had them ready when my phone was delivered that morning.
 
So strange. It makes me wonder if they’re shipping directly from China. If so, that’ll be my last Süti product.
That’s what I’m starting to think. I do not remember them handing my order off to a different company first and then handing it off to USPS. That is what is causing the delivery time to be so long. I should’ve known something was wrong after I saw the tracking.
 
USPS gave me a new tracking # via email thats from Suti. It shows:

I don't see the point in buying an iPhone, in the colour you like, then you cover up the phone with a case.

That's why I always buy Apple's clear case.

I agree and have always used the Apple clear case. But this year that hideous (to me) white rectangle on the back hides the color of almost the whole back. It might look alright with the silver but not with DB or CO. Returned mine and got a Casekoo with the rotating ring on the back. My Andar Aspen is arriving on Tuesday. Haven't decided whether I'll keep my Apple Terra Cotta silicone case. Not much point if the Andar works out.

How is the Camera Control button with the Pitaka Ultra-Slim case? When I tried the Techwoven case in the Apple store, I had a hard time making camera settings adjustments. For example, sliding the EV around and getting it back to 0.0 took way too many tries. Does the Pitaka Ultra-slim allow for easy camera adjustments?

Budget case king back at it with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Magfit - frost white

So clean on the silver especially with the frosted back …great grip, lightweight, and smudge free so far too. Apple clear case going bye bye.

I'm thinking of buying it, but I'm wondering if it's compatible with Torras 3D tempered glass...
Does the edge of the case cover the screen? Or does it sit on the edge of the phone body like Apple cases?

Similar situation here with multiple USPS tracking numbers:

I ordered on the 15th, not the 10th. My first mile tracking delivery date is 9/23 to 9/29. Hmmm, what is going on here?
 
For those following the Süti package I have being held for postage/payment, Süti sent me a response to the email I sent them:

Hi Stacey,

There has been an influx of packages being delayed due to heightened inspection times. Please allow 48 business hours for your package to update and process through the USPS network on it's way to you. Thank you for your understanding and patience ♡

Hopefully what they say is true and my tracking updates in 48 hours.

“Heightened inspection times” implies that these are direct shipments from China. If true, that would explain why the tracking is so vague and the ship dates are inaccurate.
 
Anyone have good experiences with Caudabe? The Celestial Blue Sheath with precise cutouts that cover up the extended camera bump looks pretty sleek. I’m debating trying it out, otherwise my other plan was getting the Mous Marine Blue. I currently have the blue mous case on my 15PM and eyeing to get the 17PM. I don’t drop my case a lot but Mous has been reliable and isn’t too bulky but the caudabe sheath appears to be more thin. Plus I like the more minimal look it has, just wondering if their cases are considered good quality.

I don’t use the adjustments and actually have that off.

I personally use the CC as a shutter button to launch the camera.

Anyway I turned on the adjustments to test out the sensitivity of the PitaTap and I’m impressed. It is very responsive with no issues whatsoever swiping through the adjustments.

It’s pretty impressive how they created this on this particular type of case and it literally blends right in with the design of the case.
 
Thank you so much for checking out the camera control sensitivity. It’s greatly appreciated. This may be my 1 case for this year, when using the phone naked is too risky.
