Way over prices for 5 cents of plastic. I bought a Amazon knock-off the last time Apple slightly changed the size.
 
Hope the quality is better because the one I got at launch is quickly degrading. Never had a silicone case degrade as quickly as this one has.

I can't be the only one that thinks that apple releasing its new line of cases, bands, etc. like it's a new product as if we're eagerly awaiting them to set the new color trend for the season is comical... right? While I'm a fan of authentic Apple cases, if I really wanted a specific color, I can buy any color I want off of Amazon and save a bunch of money. People have doing that for years with the clear cases.
 
I usually pick up a watch band or two when the seasonal refreshes come in. Hopefully soon, because sadly...that’s the most exciting thing I’d have going on 😂

It is likely under warranty. They will ask for photos, but if it is degradation without damage to to falls you’ll get a replacement.

It must be the way you handle the phone.Had mine since launch and they still look like new.
 
I was really hoping for a northern blue case... the only colour here I can see using with my PB PM is the green one.
 
Purple looks nice, but I really guess I need to pick up a Kumquat case out of the current line-up before they start to become hard to come by.

Photos? I’ll take the thing into them so they can see in person. The top layer on the back edges is worn away leaving the weird sticky underlayer exposed. This isn’t from damage, rather normal daily use. Maybe they would replace it, but if they haven’t changed materials then I’m sure the replacement would be just as bad in a couple months anyway.
 
Ditch the pastels. Just release these colors... for everything... from now on.

I love my pink citrus on my blue mini. But I could see a lot of these colors working with the blue, too. I guess I'll have to reserve $50 from my next paycheck... or $200 for all 4 ;D

Hopefully there are also some new leather colors, though I know the leather hasn't been great this year.
 
I mentioned it earlier, I love the feel of the Silicone case this year (to me it feels softer compared to previous textures - XS Max and previous, not sure how 11's felt) I tend to swap from Baltic Blue leather case and this black silicone.

But the silicone seems to get more worn out faster than the previous my previous silicone cases.
Not a big deal, just something I noticed. Wonder how the color cases are holding up after a few months.

Hooray for purple -- looking forward to seeing it in person -- hoping it will remain for the 13.
 
Just wondering: would it be a good idea buying new Apple Watch bands now that the Series 7 (and a possible new design) is coming out? I mean, all bands have been compatible since the Series 0, but what if that ends this year? :/
