Hey, curious regarding the field case; is there any play with the device in the case? I am close to pulling the trigger on a field case and I keep seeing random mentions of the 5S / SE not fitting as snug as the iPhone 5 as it's apparently a hair's difference in length..can you speak to this at all?

And anyone that has experience with Magpul, it seems like the reports of it stretching out are rather mixed, too. At least with the field case, specifically. Is this something anyone has dealt with?
It can stretch out over time, but I'm talking like a year or more, I had that issue with my 5 way back in the day. However, I've had one for my 5, one for my 5S, and now for my SE and they have all fit the same...snug. Never had an issue with it being loose other than it stretching out after putting it through the ringer on my 5 for about a year.

Power support. My favorite case they design in my opinion. Wasn't much of a fan of their iPhone 6 series. I like this particular case because it blacks out my space great and looks awesome.

Can you take a pic of the back? Who makes that case? What is the material, is it slippery or matte feel? Looks nice.

Thanks man, it looks nice and slim but also protects all around and I like cases that retain the round vol buttons. I may have to order that one. :cool:

Did you order it ? If so, let me know when you receive it. I have a feeling you're going to like it. I'm the type of guy that hate cases, but this one is special, lol, hardly could tell my phone has a case ,and better yet,it gives a little grip.
 
Here are pics of my Spigen case for the SE, it has a nice grip and is super light very easy to get case on and off. I don't use any screen protectors as I don't like them.

I had to find a case that was open at the bottom around the Lightning port to work with my Belkin charging docks, so I went back to the old iP5 case that I loved much, the Seidio Surface case. For me it's the absolute perfect case for the SE if you don't require a lot of drop protection....it's plastic, not silicone. Grippy but doesn't get stuck in the pocket. They have two versions, the regular Surface with a closed back, and the Surface Reveal, which shows the Apple logo on the back (yuck):

I use the same case, it works perfect with me.
 
Does anyone use ATH-M50 or M50x headphones with their case? I have yet to find one that doesn't force me to widen the headphone cutout myself.
