If you had to choose one out of the FW and Beats rugged what would you go for ? They both look and feel great though
Got a tip for us?

They’re both very nice, but so far I actually prefer the Beats. I like the texture (which I find very grippy), the interesting design, and the superior drop protection, which I feel is important with this aluminum phone. It’s heavier, but on the PM, which is already a beast, I don’t really mind (heavy is heavy).

The Apple Silicon Case is the only case where I'm not constantly afraid that it will fall out of my hands. It feels perfect. My hands are not that big, and the 17 PM is already a chunk.
Actually, I only use the Caudabe Paragon Precise if I want more protection - and otherwise the two silicone cases guava + vanilla. Maybe I'll keep the TW in blue, but I'll sell the rest of the cases.

Same thing happened to me too yesterday when I tried returning the piece of crap that is this years otterbox symmetry! Granted I also returned 5 other items 😬

Did you request “credit to original payment” or “credit to account”? Trying to figure out if this plays into it…

I choose credit to original payment, but it magically changed to Amazon credit all by itself. Maybe there were a couple dollars on a gift card when I checked out. I'm going to go look at that transaction closer.
Looks like they are going to string me out until April 11th to get the money back and it's looking like an Amazon balance 😡
I would bet they are more lenient on returns if it’s going back to Amazon balance rather than original form of payment.

Mous black leather #2 - nice flat leather, the edge seams are sharper feeling than Mous black leather #1 😕

Good points… yea the texture is pretty good from the floor model i checked out… any issues with MagSafe leaving a ring on the back ? I might grab one today since I have the FW already…
The only issue I have with FW is dust gets into the lanyard holes on the bottom after some time.

I always refund to my original payment and drop it off at Whole Foods.
After that brief stint with Moft, I’m back in the TW! The Moft was indeed not my number 1 😂 still love the find my wallet though.
No matter which case I try, I always find myself going back to the TW. Just unbeatable for me

Love the TW but there is not much screen protection.
I like the dark blue and the green one very much on the silver iPhone. 👍
And I like it when there is microfiber inside, like the silicone case. But the TW looks very nice.

Oh no.. love the Pitaka equally. Never really any fingerprints either, it does have a little texture to it and maybe the colour makes the difference? Equal love for the Pitaka

Yup 😂
It was great at first but then I really started to miss the TW

Yeah that’s fair. I personally like the minimal screen lip since it makes it even thinner but that’s a totally valid point

There’s not one thing I dislike about this case. I started in the fall with a Ringke Onyx and have since tried the new closed bottom Bullstrap and the TechWoven. Both of them had issues I couldn’t get past so here we are.
It’s Ecco leather and a perfect shade of blue, the best I’ve seen since the midnight blue. The camera cutouts are all perfectly centered and the buttons are clicky and aligned. The fit is tight and it has a nice microfiber lining so there’s barely and debris inside when I take it off to clean every couple of weeks.
If you want leather and a departure from the usual BS (yuk), this case is well worth the money.

I’ve only had it a few days, so I don’t know about the MagSafe ring yet.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of lanyard holes.

Agreed. I like the feel of the TW a lot, but now that I have a butter soft phone, I’m wanting more protection than the TW provides.
Have you tried the Beats Rugged? I like it a lot.
