It took me a minute to figure out how the logo is in the proper location where Apple should have placed it, then I remembered who posted this. 😊

And all that branding, as if we don’t know what company made the case

I was actually looking forward to it. Been jealous of the one on the torras case. I do wish it didn’t have the branding on it tho.
I have a clear carbon fiber protection skin and then slapped a cricut cut apple logo on top of that in the proper spot. The clear carbon pattern hides the OG logo

Quick update - MagSafe is low key booty cheeks with this kickstand thing :/ they are supposed to release replaceable kickstand attachments. Hopefully one is a straight up MagSafe module lol and then hopefully they have a MagSafe lense too. The regular gen 7 MagSafe spoiled me

Yeah, I’m sure it’s a nice case, but visually I get Torras vibes.

Can you translate that for me, I'm old 😉 I'm assuming "low key booty cheeks" means the Magsafe sucks?

Bingo lol it still grips but you don’t really get that lower portion alignment magnet. It’s still strong, just not very good at maintaining the wallet straight
How is the magnetic ring strength? Does it as a magnet itself? Do other MagSafe accessories work as well?

Between the Tank and the Phone Rebel Gen 7
all that branding is terrible. Just like I’ve said before. Doing too much and over engineering. If they made a Frosted Gen 7 without the kickstand, I think I would choose the Gen 7 over the frosted Synthesis.

I received the Caudabe Moonstone open for silver 17 pro. First impressions:
-Thin. Nice form factor.
-Feels nice in the hand.
-Back is white pearlescent. It has a little sheen to it.
-Back is smooth. May be slick in some situations but grippy sides should compensate.
I don’t like dark colored cases and prefer open camera cutout. I like the color combo of silver iPhone, gray sides and white pearlescent back.

Color matched Dbrand ghost cases may be coming sooner or later 😳

I got mine today too for my Orange Pro. It's my new favorite case.
Questions for those with caudabe cases
1. Did your case come a bit dusty? Mine did. Mainly on the inside along the edges and camera plateau.
2. How do I know if my sheath has the updated buttons? I ordered on Black Friday weekend. With the phone in there is some rattle if I shake it around a bit. Not sure if the new buttons eliminated the rattle completely or not.

They had it on Amazon for 39.99 right around Black Friday. I scooped it up then with the matching orange buttons . I’ve been using it most out of all of my cases

It’s hard to explain about the back. It’s smooth almost slick but some kind of coating on it that gives it some “grit”. I’m out in the elements and since it’s cold out it’s more on the slick side with thin gloves. When my hands are warm it does has a decent grip.

I thought long and hard about ordering PR7 and ultimately decided not to. Its not for me.
And then Master Chief was deployed to keep me strong.

Absolutely never worth that. Nor the reduced price.I need some help friends; why would this ever be worth $165?
...however, I wish I'd have known that. Mine is arriving today. £54 with 3 x plateau covers and 2 screen protectors. See if it's worth it once it arrives.
I actually picked up an AliExpress silicone case a few weeks back. I had a tonne in all the Apple colors for my 15PM, and they were really good quality/copies. Easily as good quality as my wife's genuine 16 silicone cast from Apple. Took a punt and it arrived, really pleased with it. Doesn't do he coloured-magsafe animation, but does shoot off the MagSafe wallet animation. I can live with that for £9. Decided I'd buy a couple more from the same seller, but their shop no-longer has any stock...
Colour looks quite muted for some reason, but I was in the Apple Store on Saturday, and it's identical.

I returned mine because it popped out of the top corners too easily.
