So, I have the Andar Aspen case for my Air. Love the case, but cannot use any of my USB-C cables because the cut out at the bottom of the case is just a tad too slim. Can anyone recommend slim USB-C cables that work? I don't want to strictly rely on either Mag charger or taking the phone out of the case.
Got a tip for us?

Agreed I’m locked in on the Moonstone, my personal favorite of the Pitaka designs.
I bought a few cases that piqued my interest as I always do in the very beginning of the cycle but this year it wasn’t hard to find the one. Returned everything else.
I was already converted to Ultra Slim cases from the Benks ArmorAir last year and this year the Pitaka Ultra Slim with the PitaTap is the easy choice for me.
It keeps the phone staying closest to its true form factor and keeps it as light as can be as well with enough protection and grip as opposed to the naked phone.
I personally can’t even do regular cases anymore. Everything feels bulky and heavy to me especially with the 17 Pro Max already being thick. For me personally Ultra Slim cases will continue to be my go to and this year’s Pitaka doesn’t disappoint.
They probably sized the opening to fit the USB-C cable that comes supplied with iPhones, which is on the small side.
You know what, that is something I didn't even think of. I've got so many other cables that I never take the OEM cable out of the box. Going to go grab it and give it a shot.
Still doesn't solve my issue completely, but at least for the car's need, it could work.
I’m really liking the purple TechWoven. Some people don’t like it but I like the edges of the phone coming through the front.
But it does feel a bit rough on the hands, and the sharp USB port is digging into my pinky...

You called it. There's zero additional tolerance in the size of the opening, but the OEM cable does fit.
Now I need to find one that's ideally 6 or 10 feet long and support more than 60W.
Won’t that type of case just destroy the coating on the aluminium?
So with people reporting scratched iPhones in Apple stores - has anyone tried rubbing at the “scratches” to see if they come off again like in this video?
I’ve ordered this one now, too, to compare with the Apple clear case (which I love but it accumulates dust really easily and it’s not easy to get off for cleaning purposes). How’s the fit of the Spigen? Is it easier to get off the phone than the Apple clear case?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.
Also: case makers putting a metal ring around the plateau this year baffle me. Had ordered a really pretty Benks magnetic case, but it has metal ring that sits right on the edge of the plateau…. A nope from me.
What aluminium coating? I have Air, that I hope is from titanium 😄.
I never had problem with Arc on 16PM.

.Ah right, didn’t realise you had an air.
How is the lip around screen (with screen protector) and camera?
Also does the bottom have a lanyard spot? Can’t seem to get a proper confirmation of this.
How’s the inside of the case looking? Because with my Torras Air Q3 case, the metal part holding the ring on the inside is not flush with the case but sticks out just a tad and I’m worried it will scratch the back of the phone over time. So I’m returning it sadly.
Mine too. I am using ugreen 100w usb c cable. End up returning my TW case.
Nah I use my phone too much and won’t be able to stand the smaller battery.
No, because there is a rubber like lining which aids in the pressure fit and shock dampening.
Picked up this Walmart case for $10 while waiting for cases to come in the mail. It actually feels really good on the phone, super soft and smooth, no scratches on the phone from it after a few days.
Hi all - so, I really couldn’t stand the Speck case - way too slippery. So I replaced it with this very cheap option until I figure out what I really want. It’s a bit more flexible than the other and while not super grippy, it is far less slippery.
