This is the exact same case as the Bare Armour. I'm sure Bare just throws their name on the side and charges $50. for a $5.00 China case.
My issue with the Apple silicone isn’t the fingerprints as much as the fact that it starts coming apart so quickly, first peeling on the corners, followed shortly by chunks falling out… lol.

Man that is rough. I've owned probably 10 silicone cases from Apple over the years and I've never had chunks come out like this. The only time I had issues with it are after I dropped it multiple times
Sorry, but nope. My wife, who drops her phone fairly frequently, can destroy the Apple silicone as above in a couple of months. They really don’t hold up well compared to every other case she’s used. Of course, if a person doesn’t drop their phone then anything at all will work.
So the case did its job. Could have clarified how it happened and not just said the case doesn’t hold up.
A case should last more than two months regardless of whether or not it was dropped. As I said, they don’t hold up well compared to every other case she has used. There’s no need to defend a poorly engineered, overpriced product.
She probs threw it at him 😀
Well you if she has the dropsies. I’ve known people and have and and are currently running the Apple silicone with not much issues. I agree the durability isn’t as good as non silicone cases but it’s the nature of a silicone case like Apple’s.
This is exactly why I have stopped buying the Apple silicone cases. I have had three of them do this exact same thing.
💯 If your hands are somewhat oily, forget about it. Smudge city!
Yep def smudges. I would say better than other cases that are smudge magnets. When I had the Storm blue didn’t show much fingerprints and smudges and wiped off easily.
However if you can get over that IMO opinion it’s best form factor, weight and buttons(maybe tied with Pitaka etc but nothing better) in the business hands down. I like how the buttons are almost flush and the chamfered edges the same form as the naked iPhone.
IMO it’s the king of iPhone cases except the possible issue of smudges etc. I didn’t have much problems with lint because of the material of my pants and having a dedicated cell phone pocket.

I received today the Arc Pulse in titan gray for my 15 pro yesterday. The concept and design are on point! The parts are so light, like there’s nothing to them (aluminum outer and elastomer inner). BTW, the parts weight 18g. They are attached securely, so no worries there.
Not the best grip and not the worst by far but just enough and the right places to grab it. Definitely more grip and grab than going naked.
The top piece is thicker depth wise than any case I’ve have/had. The bottom part is about as thick depth wise as my thickest case, the Caudabe Sheath. Using the Arc Pulse is darn close to naked iPhone, so the thickness should not be a factor.
Overall, I love this thing. I am sure I’ll get tons of compliments and “what the heck is that…” LOL!
Pricey for what it is, but I consider it iPhone jewelry. Gotta pay to play!

The build of the case is probably one of the best. I’m no stranger to cases and I’m immediately impressed by the build quality.
I’ve had Nomad cases in the past that often got replaced for something else.
But it’s hard to put this one down. The seams where the plastic and rubber meet is excellent. The quality and grip of the rubber is pretty premium. The buttons are also more shallow than the leather cases but not in a bad way. Still very “clicky” and responsive.
Only con I say is the plastic back does pick up oil but that’s just normal with plastic. Easily can wipe it down. The plastic back is also not slippery and seems robust.
I just checked Bare Armour’s website and that’s pretty ridiculous. Exact same case for $60. 💀
It’s a slippery one albeit nice case. Very lightweight but does feel more bulky than leather cases and the Nomad Sports case. The transparent back was an oil magnet.
Definitely has that Amazon case feel and quality. $20 at most. Can’t believe someone is up charging $60 for it.
What’s wild about the sport case is when you do wipe it down it gets more grippy. The sport case is top shelf. I just curse out Nomad privately for not giving me a bold orange color 😡
I've got the Rhinoshield Mod NX in Blue with Blue buttons. The buttons fit and work great, they were a little weird to put in but besides that they are super responsive and click nicely. I got it with an extra back plate with the intentions of painting something on it to decorate it myself, I haven't done this yet but am working on it in planning stage. I really can't say how grippy it is because I don't have anything to compare it with, although reading this thread everyday will most certainly remedy that sometime soon. lol. The only reason I picked that one was the fact that you could get an extra back and paint both backs differently to switch it up for variety. You all continue to tempt me daily and one of these days the temptation will be too great to ignore.
Don’t know anything about the Mod NX but I’ve tired and most likely most here have tried the Solid Suit which I call AKA Slippery Suit.I've got the Rhinoshield Mod NX in Blue with Blue buttons.

Not sure if this is troll Sunday, but if you took the time to read the last few pages you'd see it's a $20 case at best being sold for close to $60
It would be a poor choice and waste of money
I actually bought a $20 case off Amazon, which looks similar, and it’s already falling apart. Maybe it’s not worth $55 to you, but this is the case I’m leaning towards. Also:
Thanks for your help though.
How does this case work with the Apple wallet? I’ve been wanting one but was concerned about the MagSafe ringStill running Ghost
Just cleaned mine for the first time and it's amazing how that works. Now that blue one is calling my name
