Vacation Case

[AE14]

So, for the last several months, I have been very happy with my black cactus leather case from OB.

That said, the Mrs and I are heading away on an extended vacation (cruise) and I am not sure if I am comfortable with using the cactus leather as my case for the vacation.

While away, MagSafe won't be a concern, as outlets are available, so that isn't a priority. Does anyone have any thoughts on a case just for the vacation? The most obvious qualities Id prefer are durability and grip, especially on a cruise ship.

Thanks for the insight.

Otterbox Fre incase the ship goes down Maybe the Defender XT or Smartish Gripzilla.

I'm into these fat case as of late

I thought of the XT- but the gripzilla is a great idea.

Yea, the Gripzilla is a fantastic case.

I’ll nominate the Otterbox Symmetry.. with a pop socket. Or Phone Rebel Gen 5. Or Caudabe Sheath.

Otterbox Defender XT on my 15PM currently whilst away in Mallorca.

Hands constantly smothered in sun tan lotion etc and not had any issues with grip etc...

Spigen EZ screen protector fitted and faultless, case fits with zero issues and doesnt lift the screen protector etc.

Would highly recommend.

It's in the case pictures thread FYI

This is what I went with. Should be here today. Got a good Amazon deal, which made it worth it.

Thanks for the help everyone

What are your first thoughts after handling the beast?

 

[AE14]

It seems pretty solid overall. Would like the MagSafe to be a bit stronger though. Overall- not as oversized as I expected

Symmetry for me! its very protective and slim(ish) use it every single day.

Did you return that Defender or kept it?

I’m actually still on vacation and never used it. Still have it basically unused if anyone wants it

Using a rokform case on my 13 mini, it’s heavy, but the phone has survived multiple drops.
