Everyone complaining about MagSafe indents. Just use the synthesis, no issues after 6 months.
My only issue with the Synthesis is that mine gets all these shiny scratches all over the back after a few weeks of use. I do manual labor for a living but my phone is kept in a pocket by itself and I don’t abuse it…. What color do you use?

I’m not even going to attempt to post a pic. Made it home to my $25 black leather nomad. Either my hands are dry or this thing is slicker than a bar of soap. Ooof. Seems to slip on rather easily; almost too easily to me.

Probably a solid buy at $25. If it was $50+ it would be on its way back to Verizon.
 
What color Cactus Symmetry do I need? Black or Brown to go with my black phone?
I like that green but not available.

Air 2 showed up and honestly for $20 I’m keeping it. The grip is perfect on it and I like the raised corners. Like others have said the back plate isn’t as stiff as the synthesis but I hated how hard that case was to get on and off and I’ve already condemned mine to the recycling bin a long time ago. This will be a good substitute. The indent on the back sucks but I can live with it for the other pluses that this case brings with it.
 
Anyone have the Spigen Rugged Armor case? Right now it’s only $20 on Amazon. How is the grip on it?

I just can’t spend more than $25 on a case.

I had this and returned it for what it's worth - the buttons were poor, very non-tactile. I am fairly picky about having good tactile buttons though.

There are some decent cases here but as it happens much of what I have read so far confirms my choice with the "the Kase" transparent case I got ... plus the company makes a lot of very nice accessories including selling reconditioned phones.
