Off topic, but the iPod Touch was such a cool device. Basically a pocket iPad.
Got a tip for us?

Folks, don't fall for the tutti-frutti, phoney-baloney, plastic banana, good time, rock-n-roll Apple PR "leaks" to build hype. Apple's cases will be the same as they were in year's past, no matter what gimmicky material they make them out of: they will be substantially more expensive than nearly identical cases and will fall apart just as fast as nearly identical cases. The Apple PR "leaks" of a potential new name are designed to build hype and trick people into thinking something dramatic has changed. It hasn't.
Best comment of the year! Lmao!
Plus, they frequently criticize “Majin Bu”(somehow always written with quotation marks), emphasizing his mixed track record, while they consistently praise Marc Gurman (somehow always written without quotation marks), despite him being just as hit-or-miss as a leaker. LOL.
Why would they require that? There is no NSFW content on here.
My experience with Apple cases is that they fall apart twice or three times as fast as 3rd party. Apple cases are junk.
My Torras case on 13 Pro looked nearly perfect three years after I bought it. Same case on my 16 pro is perfect, as well, despite treating them like crap. Both cost >$20.
Ok, I get how they really want to lean into the whole liquid glass thing, but come on, another silicone case?
Why not just bring leather back??? (even if it is vegan leather/leatherette)
Also, who even buys cases first party anyways? They're grossly overpriced and you can get just as good (if not better quality sometimes) by going 3rd party at a fraction of the price.

BRING BACK THE LEATHER CASE! The microfiber case was a disaster. The silicone cases are too sticky and don't slide in/out of pocket well.
FWIW I was in Tokyo the last couple weeks and it seems like most iPhone users there have cases with Lanyards... it's a thing there. Not so much here in US.

Gonna throw liquid in front of everything this year I guess.
Sign me up for a Liquid case and I'll take a Liquid band for my Apple Watch Series 11 as well.

Vegans and PETA will never be happy if you are using anything from an animal, even if it is sustainable.
Leather cases were the nicest, since they discontinued I just buy my cases elsewhere now. My Tesla uses vegan leather for the seats and they feel really nice. Not sure how long and durable they are compared to real leather. I loved how the brown leather cases would age. They literally got nice as they got older.
Never seizes? Impressive. What lube are you using?
I would agree other than my last Apple leather case disintegrating. Their quality has taken a nosedive over the last few years.
"no one" meaning you don't want it. Newsflash, you're not the only person in the world.
bullstrap leather cases are so much better and have a nice wear. Kinda glad appl stopped making them or i would have never found this new brand.
