The outer frame is TPE which is harder than TPU and typically more slippery. I find it plenty grippy though, likely because of the concave sides which make it easier to pick up and grip than flat or convex sides. Others may differ.

Nomad has pretty easy no-pack online returns through Happy Returns, but there’s a flat $5 charge to cover shipping/handling. Not bad, but not quite Prime…

I agree, the material seems like it’s going to be slippery but I find it plenty grippy too! I have no issues with it as far as grip. If you had to knock it for SOMETHING, I’d say the speaker cut outs ( doesn’t bother me at all) and the magnets aren’t as strong as others on the market.

So what’s the consensus on best screen protector? Usually I always go Spigen no questions asked, but this year they aren’t impressing me like usual. I got a two pack before my phone arrived and when I opened it to apply one, it went on terrible. Not stuck down all around the entire perimeter, had to can it, use the second to get a better application and I usually do well applying them. So I’m wondering if that’s the best option, or if you fine folks have better recommendations?

I read the other thread on the protectors and still went with the Spigen. It was applied without issue though it did pop out of the alignment guide so I had to apply it on without the guide. But all is good and I think it's same as last year's 14PM version.

UltraGlass UNBREAK TOP 9H+ Glass... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB5VVSGX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This is the one I bought. Very easy installation, edge to edge protection, much better than the spigen ones I had.

Big thread here. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/iphone-15-pro-pro-max-screen-protector.2401368/

The spigen ez fit was good enough for me. I understand the complaints about it but I am not super picky.

Regarding the bottom cutouts, I may actually try a Peak Design or Mous lanyard/strap at some point, which this case is ideal for. I’m a retired semi-pro landscape photographer and sometimes use the phone when on longer hikes where carrying the big camera and tripod is no fun. Could be more convenient than constantly taking the phone/camera in and out of a fanny pack.

Anybody have any insight on Decoded’s Clay vs Andar’s Blanc?

Color and just general screen / camera protection.

Anyone tried the Otterbox Figura?
Want something different and like the look of these but what's the fit, feel and general view?

My partner has the multicolour one and it’s slim and feels protective and the edges and bottom lip are not saggy like past years.

So it took another 7 days for Pitaka to get back to me and I need to pay postage back to HK to get a replacement for the StarPeak Horizon, or 15% off voucher.

I’ve been using the case daily and I’m living with the streaks. Can’t be bothered sending it back and waiting for another one.

I did miss the FAQ a the bottom of their website saying the finishing may not be smooth.

Both over rated and over priced imo. @iFone88 got a sweet leather case from Ali Express at half the price. The case is top notch quality.

Yes true, but the YMW seller on Aliexpress doesn't have a light color like @seaguy is looking for, at least at the moment.

Out of those two, I'd take Decoded since it's real leather. It's a very nice case and that color is pretty great too! Screen and camera protection is adequate in my opinion. The blanc is vegan leather if that matters to you. Not sure how it would age.

EDIT: The Aspen case is down to $41.25 right now as well (Blanc sold out) with no coupon code needed. That's a pretty good price imo.

check out flolab. similar setup as spigen except you don’t have to remove any backing prior to install. imo that’s the weak point with spigen and amfilm. if you’re not careful you can misalign the glass. plus flolab provides a fullscreen dust sticker. see this video:
