What case did you buy for your IPhone Air?

A couple of pics of the Nomad Traditional Leather Case for the iPhone Air. It just arrived today, so I don’t have much to share other than a couple of first impressions: it weighs 34 grams, the fit is very good, and the leather smells and feels excellent (better than the Andar Aspen IMO). Looking forward to seeing how it goes…

Does yours slide off the corner easily at the bottom? I’m not sure if I got a bad one or if it’s common.
 
Latercase for the air is really good actually

I tried a couple of thin cases form Amazon. Ended up getting a light blue and black bumper from Apple, threw a glass protector on the back and have been rocking it that ways since. Really keeps the form of the phone, but gives me a bit of grip on the sides since I’m clumsy. I did drop it in the parking lot the other day and it scuffed up the corner of the bumper, which it what it’s there for!

No case 95% of the time, it would ruin the design, the slimness, and the beauty. I have AppleCare.
However, I use one only for the gym. I got a Torro leather case. It’s work good.

Following up, mine started getting loose after removing the case a few times. Ended up returning it for this reason.

Yeah I returned mine too. It’s too bad cause it was my favorite leather case design for the air. Hopefully they will correct the fit.

Im finally ditching my 15 Pro Max for the Black Air. I was an avid buyer of Apple phones every year but decided to skip the 16 because it didn't give me that awe factor. I know im losing features with the Air but with my daily use i dont souse most of them anymore especially my camera. I take a few pictures here and there but nothing to make me buy another Pro model. I ordered two thin cases on Amazon to start off but will probably order more as time passes.

I got the Apple iPhone Air bumper case and strap for mine. I was happy until I noticed that rain got into the usb port. This is a serious engineering flaw. The strap only attaches at the bottom of the bumper case. This means the usb port faces up and will catch rain and debris. I returned these and use the Air without a case.
 
Got the Bullstrap in Terra, the buttons are great, the fit is great, it takes a bit of effort to take off. I was going to go caseless because that’s really the best way to enjoy the phone, but for now I’ll keep the case on.

I am rocking nano and liquid air from spigen. Also their tempered glass.

1)has anyone tried the torras fitness o stand ?

2)which is the best tempered glass in the market with the BEST anti glare ? What about motcha matte ?
 
It’s seems thinborne is better than the pitaka because it also offers a very very tiny lip! Has anyone tried both ?

I am now using the Totallee Scarf only .02oz but it does not have the CC button it is open there. But this is the thinnest case I have found View attachment 2565023

This is version with MagSafe? Can you please put it on scale? This could be under 20g.

In my quest for the thinnest Air case, here's my latest table. Corrections welcomed. Tempted for the Bare Naked case, haven't seen many reviews


* Updated to add TAC, Peel, Apple & Beats as well as magsafe View attachment 2566715

Yes I alternate it with my Totallee Scarf also with an oh snap grip. The Scarf covers the whole phone and is suuuuper thin and feels like nothing on the phone

Do you have magsafe version?

Currently using Arc Pulse Mate Black (15g) and Polished Silver arrived yesterday (17g) - I will get it under xmas tree 😄.
 
I got the moft vegan leather case. Normally not a fan of vegan leather but the fit is unreal and it is super thin. High quality case

Has anyone tried the Totallee Doberman case?

Also the Scarf, has anyone dropped it higher up and the phone was still protected?

I have both the Doberman and the Scarf for the Air. I haven’t dropped either so can’t help on that front. I like both for different reasons but both also have their drawbacks.

The scarf is obviously super light and minimal and it’s crazy that it’s only like 14 grams but still has MagSafe (albeit with the bump on the outside). The downside is very little protection (wouldn’t trust it in an higher drop, personally) and the back seemed to scratch easily. Air slit buttons but they work well.

The Doberman seems decently protective and manages to feel pretty slim but comes in at a much heavier 39 grams. It’s nice but honestly seems like a rebranded amazon case that you can get for under $20 (Miracase seemed like a direct match). I got mine half price during the Totallee sale so I think it’s worth it at that price. Has nice clicky (and removable) buttons and a very tight fit. Neither have a CC button so that’s annoying as well. The sidewalls of the Doberman are thick enough that it makes it a bit harder to press the CC button.

Here’s how my Pitaka case looks installed on my Air

In the picture below you clearly see my Pitaka case does not take away just how thin the Air is . . .
