Is that a big ole crease down the middle?
Got a tip for us?

Yup, seems so. You wonder the more that thing gets opened and closed on a daily basis how it may look.

It’s a Samsung screen, and the specs seem to indicate it’s very similar to the screen on the Z Fold 8. If so, it has a crease that will continue to get more prominent over time.

First time I’ve bought a case from Apple on announcement day. When can I expect it to arrive? It already says “preparing to ship”, but it says it’s expected to be delivered September 14 and I know Apple often under promises with delivery dates.

I like that super dark black 18PM but I agree with it being a fingerprint magnet. (That’s what a case is for though lol) Glacier and burgundy are so pretty too. I find I tend to get bored quicker with a darker phone than I do with the lighter ones, I have no idea why though.

When I’ve early-ordered Apple cases they’ve always arrived on the stated delivery date.

Main reason I don’t think I could ever do foldables, as cool as they look. This would bother the **** out of my ocd. I need a smooth screen through and through.

What do we think about that new Mous pop out camera ring deal? I'm not a fan at all.
Also, noticed Airoshock still only in the corners, that's a failure.

Same here. Also, with current technology internal screens scratch at level 2, compared to most glass screens that scratch at level 6. Can you imagine a standard phone with a screen that scratches at level 2? People would have a fit. But, because it folds people put up with the crease and the terrible scratch resistance. To each his own I guess?

Seems like a point of failure. Also, not aesthetically pleasing in the least IMO.
On Reddit, Mous’ product guy said they removed the AiroShock from the sides to reduce weight and make the case narrower in the hand (claims it reduced the overall weight by 25%). That seems plausible, but it might also be a story to cover up cost cutting, who knows.
This right here is why I can’t do it, knowing that I can’t protect the inside screen and it’s gonna get dust and everything else in it and all rubbed around and scratched to hell after a few months.
Staying away from mous this year quality keeps going down prices keep going up. Ordered the new moonstone paragon with leftover points I had already thoooo.

This looks very similar to the Z Fold 8... The nano texture finish is just reflecting light a lot less than the standard glossy finish. Agree that this will get more visible with daily use. Not sure if my OCD can get used to this....
They used to be perfect but the last two case I had from them had issues one squeaked or creaked as if there was movement or something going on and the other case had a noticeably large gap along the top seam so much that I could see the phone aluminum color showing through.

I’m the opposite lol I get bored of colored phones, Black is just timeless imo.
I did enjoy Silver on the 17PM but Silver is super neutral like Black so that was the next best thing for me with the 17PM choices.
100% going Deep Black this year I would get bored of Burgundy and Glacier for sure!
