To the folks here with the Apple Silicone case... how bad is the dust/lint collection? I really dig the look and the fact they'll be less slippery, but constant dust is a concern.

On the inside it’s very minimal. On the outside it depends on what you’re wearing. 9/10 the outside very rarely gets dust/lint on it (with my personal experience)

I’m normally using a Speck Presido which should have a similar cushion / protection like the the Otterbox Aneu. Dropped my phone in the Speck case a couple time and never had an issue.

How do you think is the drop protection between Otterbox Aneu and the Apple one?

I would imagine the Apple has less protection vs the otter box (maybe someone has tested on YouTube)

it’s not a sticker. It’s the MagSafe plate. Weird because the Apple cases don’t have the white plates. They just have the circle.

I get that once you put your phone it it for use, it’s not visible but it looks cheap (especially for an expensive case) and guessing rushed to be ready for release

I have both the Apple silicone and the Otterbox Aneu cases, and I prefer the Otterbox. As you can see from the pics above, the edges along the lip are a bit thicker than the Apple silcone case. I think there can be something as too thin for a case. The Apple silicone case fits perfectly, as expected, but those edges seem too thin for me. I wish the Aneu came in more/different colors though. The ones they have are meh.

I'd touched the OtterBox aneu in person at Apple store, I think it'll provide more protection than Apple silicon. For it's bulker back, cushion on the edges, higher and wider front side...as the pics. Just don't know how aneu compare with symmetry+ (News released, magsafe support). Does anyone ever have symmetry/+ be please comparing the interior with anue in terms of drop protection tech, can't find any detailed image, thanks

Is it thick? I don’t see any camera bump... so that means the whole case is thick?

How is the rubber around the buttons? Loose? Or tight?

I currently have the symmetry + but have also had the aneu.

I sent the aneu back as the buttons were mediocre, as was the fit. The symmetry has greatly improved the fit of the tpu from previous versions, where the aneu was loose all over

1. Only 12PM got camera raise, I think it's due to its larger and bumper camera models, for 12/12P the whole back is total flat and just above the camera a tiny bit, so it's not thick at all.
2. Don't know what exactly the material the buttons are, plastic maybe, and work just fine, neither too tight nor loose, I'll say smooth, sort of.

Would you please share some photos focus on the symmetry plus's internal part, if it's not too troublesome. The symmetry plus and Aneu seem share the same design language form description and photos I can found, but only the external look, figured that the internal structure is more important in terms of the drop protection.
