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

[blaine07]

It's all good until you drop it. I wasn't so concerned about this with the titanium phones, but with the new Butter-Soft Pro Max, I personally want some extra drop protection.

I’m wrong as usual but I really don’t like how losely my TW fits compared to other offerings.

I was using the TW as my daily for a couple weeks and finding that it comes to pop off the corners when I pull it out of my pocket… mainly using the Torras Q3 air as my daily now

Have dropped it a couple of times and both the case and phone are in perfect condition. Plenty of us out there that have not had this unlucky experience so no need to post.

But nothing wrong with wanting a case with more protection!

I dropped mine in a TW case.

4ft high, onto concrete floor. No damage to phone or the case.

Lucky you! 😅

One of my most used cases for the 17PM is the black Synthesis 😉 The back is mighty slippery, and I don't like the spray paint overspray along the back edges, everything else I do like. Great grip on the sides, fantastic buttons, strong MagSafe and no fingerprints or marks on the back. The case just feels good in the hand, and I find myself going back to it time after time.

I’ve been gone lately, any new thin protective cases I’ve missed out on?

Sure. That could happen. But my wife uses a TechWoven case, drops her phone all the time (she’s on her 5th screen protector), and her phone looks pristine.

Well waited long enough. Stripped the black anodization off courtesy of easy off. Never liked how easy the black chips and prefer silver accents.

Waiting on a couple of these; maybe my cheap Memumis:

Merely letting people know that if they run a TW case and drop it, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re gonna end ip with a smashed phone.

It’s more possible in the TW which isn’t known for being drop protective. Most who run the TW know this and aren’t concerned about drop protection.

If the 17PM was made from titanium I’d be running the TW, but not on this phone.

That looks fantastic 😉 did you have to bake the parts with the Easy Off for the anodization to come off?

Nope! Just put them on the plate and sprayed them with easy off outside, then let it sit for 5 minutes and then just wiped off the color with a rag. Was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was

Open Paragon, orange or black?

I'm getting bored over here 🤪

Anyone have a discount code for me? I'm all out of reward points ☹️

I tried the open paragon in black. It’s a good, low key type of case but just something about the back material didn’t feel right. It’s too slick I think, and confirmed with the second paragon in azurite. Otherwise it’s a great case with fit and finish.

Side note, Do you think the updated tank is worth trying?

 

[Meedoss]

Personal unpopular opinion-I find Bellroy*, Moft and etc extremely slick to me. Synthetic leather?

Just got a replacement and your right it's slick, positive my original wasn't like that, is very grippy now.

Yea it’s a shame they don’t use the same all around texture for the Paragon like the Sheath.

If you already have the first Tank, I would say no. Dbrand will send you updated buttons for the first tank for free. Not the CC button though. IMO, the flat finish of the original Tank CC button looked so much nicer than the new shiny finish.

I never really had any problems with the Tank 1 CC button. If you don’t have the original Tank than it’s worth picking up.
