iPhone 17/e/Air/Pro/Pro Max Cases

[Bleeedorange]

I understand it with classic iPhone or PRO for people working outside, or people who often gives it's phones to kids 😄.
But this is not point of iPhone Air IMHO. Who will buy ultraslim and lightweight phone and then put on it 48g case? This just not giving sense to me.
I'm working in office, but my phone not sitting on desk all day. I'm runner, often going for hikes, but still I don't need "tank" case.
Thats my opinion on this.

Wonder how many iPhone Pro users are recording in LOG format and take advantage of the triple camera system every day? After all, that would be the "point" of the phone.

I think there is a fair amount of people who enjoy a case to balance the lightness of the phone. It'll still average out to be less than most other devices. At the end of the day, users have choice, and that's a great thing.

Fun fact, TechWoven case left a few black marks on the antenna lines around camera plateau. I was able to wipe them off with a cloth, though.

It’s not TechWoven. Also, the black silicon Apple case leaves tiny black lines or marks on the antenna that goes around the plateau.

He claims the plastic at the bottom of the case left marks on his orange phone, and I totally believe it.

Maybe he should try cleaning his case more often from the inside and outside going forward.

Them corners are full of dirt and that is what probably caused them marks.

No issues here with both silcone and techwoven cases.

Concur!

I've had the TW on for all but may 10-14 days in total since release?

Yes, dust builds up but I clean daily and have no issues

I respect your opinion. Calling someone else’s experience “ridiculous” is not called for though.

I too enjoy ultra thin cases, and use them all the time around the home and office. When I’m using my phone primarily as a camera when hiking along a river, or biking while shooting video with one hand (for example), a more substantial, protective case is warranted. In those circumstances, function trumps form for me.

In any case (no pun intended), a beefy case on an Air is still significantly thinner and lighter than the same on a Pro.

Just got an email from Caudabe, they now offer the synthesis in abyss blue.

Paragon is so good that I might sell Sheath. Tempted to try Synthesis though.

Exactly!

Surprised they don’t offer it for the 17

I am currently still using the Paragon and have been since I received it back in November. Still love it but I too am wanting to try the Synthesis. Am I correct in thinking the buttons are interchangeable between the two?

Tempted but I imagine like the ghost the back will be a fingerprint and smudge magnet.

I wish Caudabe kept their Lucid Clear cases. They were the best cases and did not yellow. I went through some old cases I had when I moved last month and threw out my lucid clear case from my 12PM and it was still clear.

Same here! I miss my Lucid Clear I had on my 14 pro.

The Synthesis is not a fingerprint magnet, it has a frosted back.

The frosting on the inside wears off pretty quick after installing and removing the phone a couple of times, dark spots will appear along the inside bottom.

Good to know. This will be a no go for me then.

Can’t see those spots on your photo. Where are they located exactly? By the way, looks like that new Abyss Synthesis has clear back, not a frosted one.

this guy mentioned - case was only two days old

That pic is a brand new out of the box case. If the new one has a clear back, that's a hard pass.

Here is what the inside of the Synthesis looks like after installing and removing the phone a couple of times:

Okay then, I might order another paragon 😅

IMO, the Synthesis is a fantastic case, only problem I had was the frosting coming off on the inside.

I clean maybe every 2 weeks and I also have no issues.

After 7-8 tries I finally have a TW that fits well 🤪🤣

 

[LordArchie]

Got mine today. Same setup as yours. I like it. I'm not concerned about weight or its propensity to get dirty. Feels good in my hand and has some grip to it. I'm satisfied!

I'm a little mixed.. love the grip and texture. I did just order the Moft origami style stand for my iPad.. may end up with a matching Moft for my phone...
