Bought the Caudabe sheath in black. My new favourite so far! Can see it being on the phone for the time being. I love the apple silicone cases, but I feel they are a tad bit slippery (powdery).

Great fit and buttons are perfect. Back doesn’t have the usual texture of aramid fibre and is super slippery. Sides have a bit more grip than last year. No microfibres on the inside. MagSafe is crazy strong! Happy to answer questions.

You keeping all three? LoL.

Personal opinion Mous looks better out of all three Aramid Fibre offerings. Phone Rebal, Pitaka MagEZ Pro and Limitless 5.0

Nice, is that interior backing a softer rubber or hard tpu material?

Does it show less finger prints than last year ?
Also will the material inside scratch the phone ?
Thanks

If anyone has a caliper and one of Apple's 14 Pro Max MagSafe clear case, can you measure the thickness of the plastic?

With iOS 16 supporting Nintendo Joy-Cons, I want to commission a 3D-printed adjustable Joy-Con phone mount/case.

Those with the Pitaka case, what is the difference between the 1500D and the 600D cases? Apart from the size of the zig zags that is?
Someone answered your question, but not with the info you were looking for. Basically, 600D is a bit better:

I have the MagEZ Case 3 and it’s great—thin, direct access to buttons and strong MagSafe. Only minor complaint is the fingerprints, but there are sprays that can really help with that.

Go with the rebel this time around. I’ve always loved pitaka but this time around the magez pro 3 is horrible. The buttons are extremely hard to press and the magnet is so weak 👎🏼
That‘s interesting, because the magnets on the MagEZ Case 3 are great. Wonder if they used the same ones and didn’t account for the slightly thicker Pro back.

What are these sprays?
There are some dedicated oleophobic and similar ones available, but I’ve just been experimenting with some of the automotive detailing products I have. Most of the stuff I tried has been for the paint, but I currently have one of the leather products I use applied and it’s working surprisingly well. Seems to be because it’s leaving this matte finish that’s not showing the prints as readily, but there could be some resistance as well. If I hit on something that works really great I’ll post it.

You mean Gen 4 right? did you get to test the screen protector yet? Is it still flolab?

Also how does swiping feel from the bottom? Can you feel the case when you swipe? Or any comparisons to the other cases you’ve tried?
