Another case to the list and you will get the 18 Pro Max 2 TB! Same story every year! š

No, I'm trying to hold out. The new black color is the only thing that sparks my interest with the 18.

Ordered the Bullstrap. Might get to use it for a few weeks before 18 comes out š¤£

My wife has finally opened up to the idea of upgrading away from my old 13 Pro so I may be passing the 17 Pro to her and deciding between an 18 Pro and an Air 2. Iād like a bigger screen but the Max just seems like overkill, especially after a year with the smaller device.
If this does happen Iāll likely be going Bullstrap again since thatās whatās currently in use. Itāll be a one-and-done year FOR SURE this timeā¦

š everyone is sold on this $22 BS. Personally not a fan of the plateau it makes it look like an old gen iPhone.

I prefer the old gen lookāit was such a nicer phone than the current model IMO. I regret trading in my pristine, black titanium 16PMā¦ š

This case is perfect then and at $22 itās a win win! š
There is no better case than TW this year. If you donāt get that then either you are delusional or a rich person. Im neither and yet I ended up spending good few quids on cases this year. Moral of the story learn from your mistakes and do not repeat them until September 2026.

In your opinion, of course.
While I like the TW just fine (and have a black one), I prefer either my Caudabe Paragon precise or the Rebel.
I have zero plans to upgrade to the 18 PM, even though I feel like the 17 Pro is smaller than Iād like. But if the Air 2 is coming in the spring of ā27 and makes some changes (ultra wide 2nd camera, 2nd speaker, keeps the titanium build), then Iāll probably switch from the 17 Pro to it.

I like the TW a lot. I just wish it was not so loose on the phone. I can literally take mine off with one handāitās ridiculous. Many of Apple cases have been like this over the years.

Joking LoL.
Paragon is a solid case and it gets used now and then. Currently my mrs is using the spare one I had and she loves it.
Rebel this year is trash. Pure filth. Cheap over the top nasty looking stuff.
My collection is perfect. Tight-fitting all around.

Tim Apple is looking out for you. I, on the other hand, am chopped liver. Iāve had three (only two now), and theyāve all been silly loose to the point that I might as well go caseless because thereās no way theyāre going to protect the phone in a face down drop.

Youāre right. They know my heart. I still look longingly at my wifeās Air and wonder what the heck I did.

Mine's not like that at all. Good and tight fit. No way could get it off with one hand.

The bad thing is, I love how the Rebel feels in the hand, but that metal camera surround (or rather, the screws on the backside) make me nervous as heck. One drop in the wrong spot and bam.
For that reason, I donāt use it very much. But I do love the feel of it.
Iāve always loved the Sheath, but Iām spoiled by those sides and how they dip down on the Paragon. I wish Caudabe would make a Sheath with the sides like that. But Iām assuming the material used would be too thin and pull away too easily.
