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

If you don’t get them sooner than me I’ll let you know if they suck.

These are the ones I've been using, and they are pretty good but only 3 for $5.99

They look the same to me.

The Mous limitless cases this year are excellent (in my opinion). I know they've had criticism in previous years which I read about but from what I can see, Mous have listened to the criticism and rectified the issues. I got the Aramid Fibre one a few weeks ago and the case feels great - nice and relatively soft (I previously had the spigen rugged armour which was way too abrasive for me and not comfortable at all). The limitless is comfortable to hold with a good enough grip and just looks stylish and feels so protective. It also feels very durable. I've held it outside with one hand and it has never felt like it was going to drop. For me, the case is proof that a case doesn't need to have sides that feel like sandpaper to have a good grip. But of course people like different cases. I was considering the Spigen Enzo Aramid but from what I have read from a few reviewers, the Mous is more grippy. Plus I think the case looks more stylish but that's just my opinion.

I am also tempted to buy the Apple silicone case as a second case but if it attracts a lot of lint and dust then I think it's going to annoy me too much.

I agree. Mous has really cleaned up their offerings and they’re better than ever this year.

What's the go with the leather back mous this year? good or bad?

Also have one. Love it.

I like these… but I have a question: is the mag Safe Ring integrated into the case or is there a raising inside the case? (I've read that it left imprints and scratches on the iPhone because of it. Like the Spigen.)

The MagSafe Ring is integrated into the back in both cases.
That’s what it looks like on the Torras for example:

The only part not fully integrated is the base of the ring. But in this new version it’s covered with what I’m assuming is PC.
This is the Flolab (frosted white version):

I need to grab a TW I guess.

I am kinda excited to try these though; hoping fits with cases.

I ordered my plateau stickers from AliExpress a few months ago and they have been great so far. You can barely tell I have one on and they work great with the 2 cases I have, the Caudabe Ember Paragon and ESR clear case.

 

[VSMacOne]

Pulled the trigger today. Camera and battery are noticeably better even coming from 16PM. This color combo is mega!! Didn’t want to pay full price for the Sienna TW from Apple so sticking with AS I bought from Amazon for the time being. Can’t get over how nicely this phone feels in hand!

They are absolutely invisible and so thin, love it.

Glad you finally joined us!

Wow, that terracotta looks amazing with the silver. Great choice!

I agree. Mous has really cleaned up their offerings and they’re better than ever this year.

I also like how they've put the same effort in to cases for the 17 base model and air as they have with the pro and pro max. So many companies have only bothered with the pro and pro max when I know that a lot of people have bought the 17

Absolutely. Even Apple shortchanged Air and base model users.

Anyone stopped using MagSafe charging on leather cases to avoid the ring?

I just put one of those microfibers that come with screen protectors on top of my MagSafe charger puck and no transfer ring.

good tip, thanks.

Caudabe Sheath is $90AUD here, What the, they used to be half that price.

That's an unbelievably simple yet useful tip and I'm mad at myself that I didn't think of it. Thanks!

Honestly a toss up. Spent the last week with the Flolab, will give the synthesis at least the same.

Initial preferences:
Looks - Surtect, especially with the white ring on silver phone.

Feel- Synthesis, the material on the sides including the dots has a much better hand feel imo. The frosted back on the Caudabe has more grip and shows less fingerprints.

Camera control - synthesis, prefer the slightly recessed button. The Surtect is flush so it’s fairly easy to accidentally trigger.

Fit- Flolab, I have a weird issue where the synthesis shows the phones silver frame around the power button if I put the case on volume side first.

MagSafe- pretty close, but I give the edge to Flolab.

Hard to go wrong either way.

“Sticking with the AS” lasted just a couple of hours. Channeling my inner @Hooterville over here 🤣

You’re gonna love the TW. Best case ever

“Ever” is probably a stretch a bit far but for this year’s phone, by far the best I’ve tried.

And I’ve tried a lot

It’s funny, when I had the max, I liked the TW but was not over the moon about it. I found it to be a decent case but felt there were other, superior cases out there.

I also despise lanyard holes in cases

Which case has the tighter fit?

 

[Momof2.1107]

This is much better than having those glass protectors I was using. It’s less bulky and easier to take off when I need to change it out.

Wasn’t intending for that to be taken literally.

But yeah, it’s my favorite case to date. I surprisingly like it more than the Apple leather cases (iPhone 11 and before).
