Ooof the only reason I may pass on the iPhone fold is the fact that 90% of my MagSafe batteries and wallets won’t fit that short fat phone. I hate Apple for making my buy into the MagSafe ecosystem, it’s so good.

I do like the way it looks, but it’s kind of useless if It doesn’t adequately protect the phone.
Apple's $60 iPhone Case Ranked Shockingly Low In This Real-World Test - BGR
Apple's $60 TechWoven case performed shockingly poor in a real-world test, indicating how you could be better off with a third-party case for protection.www.bgr.com
The Mous topped the list in the testing.

I used to feel the same way. Now I just buy Apple cables.
One particular thing I like about Anker cables is that they are usually easier to grab when taking the cable out of the device. The longer and wider termination housing is easier to grab.

Yeah, it’s a beauty, and it feels great too. If only they’d extended the screen lip inward just a bit so it doesn’t pop off the phone so easily. This has been a common issue with Apple cases over the years.

I just wish Apple made a 10ft cord.
. I do like apples “braided” cables a lot more than their previous OG.

PSA: don’t store your Sheath in its package for an extended period of time. 😒
I have all my cases stored in their original packages. The dbrand grip for example has not been in use since October of last year I think and it still looks brand new. No other case here looks like this. I clean them all before I put them away. 🤔 What has happened here.

I seem to recall @Hooterville having this same problem with his Sheath. If it’s what I think it is, it’s called “blooming”, where additives in the TPU migrate to the surface over time. This leads to the oxidation. Heat accelerates this.

This will probably go under the radar, but does anyone have some recommendations for a good looking case that also has good drop protection for the blue 17 pro?
i bought a crapton of them but i feel like they mismatch or just look bad after a while.
Prefer:
Metal Buttons.
Decent screen lip.
Drop protection above 1.5 Meters (for work)
Not too much branding. (Prefer minimalist)
Cases in rotation so far;
Caudabe Sheath Blue (Too much blue?)
Caudabe Paragon Moonstone (White clashes with the blue)
Nomad Modern leather (Lip too shallow, screenprotector touches ground before the case)
Flolab Surtect (Feels cheap)
ESR cyber Tough (Feels cheap, too bulky)
ESR Hybrid (Slippery/cheap)
Tried:
Pitaka, slippery.
Supcase beetle, too bulky
Ostand Q3 Air, too slippery, too much branding.
Rebel case, too much branding.
Spigen, feels cheap just not my brand.
All these so called tech youtubers just look like brand shills to me.
Which makes it hard to find a really good product nowadays.

I call it the Caudabe "Haze of Death" 💀 All my Sheath cases get that nasty haze on them even after a few days of use. The finish on Caudabe cases basically suck.
I'm back in the Nomad rugged as of this afternoon.

I’ve returned every Caudabe case I’ve had this year. Just not impressed, specifically for the price. Way over hyped imo.

Same here. So many issues of one sort or another. That said, I had a bunch of reward points that were about to expire so I recently ordered a Paragon precise just to use up the points. Not expecting to be blown away.

Side note(I don’t have anyone else to tell
In life lol…) playing with these today. Sometimes tired of wearing APP at work so wanted to try something a little unconventional. Pretty impressed honestly.

The Apple silicone in midnight is really nice with the deep blue phone. It’s not super protective, though.

The Mous ended up being my #1 on the PM, so I had to add the walnut.
I havn't tried as many as some of you, but out of:
Nomad rugged
Apple silicon and TW
Bellroy leather and Venture
Nomad full leather
Mous leather
Mous = 1
Nomad = 2
Bellroy leather = 3
The rest were returned.

I have two favorite things about my Mous. Got it on sail for like $35 and it is VERY LIGHT feeling in hand! It’s a solid case just a lil chunky.
Bump lol
Can't believe I wake up and no new posts 😉
Sheath is worst case of the year 🙂
Should get another page of posts going ha

Yeah, it’s a ghost town. I think everybody is in sell-off mode to get ready for upgrading in September.
