Well I went down to the 17 Pro and have been using it with a cheap-o silicone case from Best Buy and weight hasn’t been a factor. I guess a heavier case along with adding a screen protector was enough of a difference to make it noticeable.
Got a tip for us?

What have you ordered?Heading over to Caudabe to check my orders.........................and nothing
To be honest, it’s the first time using one - I usually go caseless. But it seems okay to me. I saw one post saying that the sides a weak and the bottom, but I don’t think they are?
Yes, you can see the smallest sliver of orange around the edges, but I don’t find that too bad. And you can see more orange at the top, but that’s where they have recessed it for the speaker.
The rear frame around the plateau is a hard plastic.
The clear plastic does pick up some fingerprints but it’s not too bad. The sides don’t seem to be as textured as the ghost case, but they’re like a Matt bumpy material.
All the buttons work fine include in the camera button.
Inside there seems to be soft gel on the corners.
I don’t think it should be at the price point that it is, but then I don’t think most of them should be at the price point that they are
I find it kind of funny how everyone is super worried about scratches, obviously we don’t want them but at the same time, all of us upgrade every year. It’s not like we are stuck with the device for 12 years, it’s twelve months lol.
On another note, I ordered the tech woven on Amazon to arrive the day before I got my new phone but went to Best Buy the day I got it and bought the Ghost, I don’t intend on taking the Ghost off anytime soon, looks so sleek with the silver and feels great in hand. Can’t really pick out anything I don’t like about it. Normally I have a darker phone so I don’t like all the smudges on a clear case, but with the light colored phone the smudges are barely noticeable

I’m a one case person and let alone an ultra slim case lol but I love the camaraderie here and seeing people’s plethora of cases!
So true!
To be worried about the phone scratching from touching the inside of a case or sliding it in and out of a case when in 11 months you’re getting the next one is hilarious to me too.
I’m not saying don’t take care of your device but the OCD for certain people can be a bit extreme.
But hey I guess everyone picks their battles lol

Asked Suti why I have two tracking numbers and why shipping is taking so long and wheres it coming from
They ignored the part completely about where its coming from. Last week they said 4-6 days for delivery and now its 7-10 days. They also ignored the part of two tracking numbers and just copy pasted what is attached to the order from last week.

I think he meant most of the “regulars” who are on this thread upgrade every year which is true no matter how much some of them swear they won’t! lol
Speck Presidio 2 Grip Magsafe in Deep Sea/Silver Metallic (on a base 17 white)
Always keep coming back to these; nice combination of sturdy and very protective (tons of drops) but not massive or bulky. Not the best color options this year but this blue is really nice - almost a hint of teal, not as dark as navy (a bit lighter in person than the pics), and the fit is excellent. They hold up pretty well but do honor the lifetime warranty with no drama (usually replace them 1-2 times in 2-3 years) Not as much protection as a super heavy duty case for sure but much more than most of the thin one layer cases.

Can't believe Speck didn't add the camera control button to this years cases.
Caudabe new ship dates...............early to mid October
Where did you hear this? For which cases? I ordered the Synthesis Frost for 17 pro just over an hour ago. Per product page at the time of order and current:Caudabe new ship dates...............early to mid October
Orders placed today are expected to ship by late September
Anyone got a Benks ArmorPro 600D for their iPhone Air at all ? Need to see if the port hole is big enough. Cheers
On their site, looking at the Sheath and that's the date showing now.
That’s good. That means the first round of cases are all called for and getting ready to dispatch.
USPS says my Suti package will be delivered today (13 days after I placed the order). The only problem is that USPS shows it at the Post Office in Long Island City, NY. I live in Maryland.
