Got it thanks for checking that out.

I do like it and I appreciate the matte black as I prefer that over gloss any day.

I personally wouldnā€™t spend $300 on the titanium one or any case for that matter especially with upgrading every year. $300 a year would add up quickly.

I understand the justification of spending so much money on other cases and simply just putting that money towards one but I only settle on one case and return whichever ones I try out (which are a very small amount) so personally I never go as high as spending $300+ a year on phone cases.

Nothing ever really pulls me much once I settle on a certain type of case, I just stay with that type of case every cycle. My days of the continual chase of always the next case to only continually be disappointed and always fall back to what I do like are thinning lol.

Nonetheless I do enjoy seeing everyoneā€™s cases and having knowledge of whatā€™s out there in the market.

Not sure how you guys use the silicone case. It absolutely destroys my pinky finger. Otherwise it would be worth having. Dust protected isnā€™t deep enough.
I have my pinky on either side of the charging port cutout. Others have used those silicone dust plugs as well.

Yeah I tried the dust plugs, it doesnā€™t work. I donā€™t know if I can keep my pinky on the sides. Seems like a chore for a case. Apple should smooth the port cutouts out.
 
I see Phone Rebel has the folding camera ring stands available now and that CC button looking pretty sweet :oops:

Wonder if it will be removable and the colors can be changed like the buttons?

Okay, but for the record, you are also using a PM, corred?
Yes, I have Pro Max.
That looks so awesome, canā€™t wait for my Ti to come in ā€¦ā€¦.
Great for you šŸ‘ šŸ˜„
Looks like the Ti Arc Pulse for the 16 Pro Max is sold out. Or the website is having an issue.
There are still on stock in Europe.
I think you and maybe @Zensō have a few of these. I know you have the Desert Ti iPhone so which color do you think is best for it? I really want the Rose Bronze but I'm concerned it might be too flashy. Maybe not in person?

Since I can't see these in person, they are relatively expensive, and rumors are that Arc has terrible customer service I don't want to pick the wrong color and get caught in a major hassle returning it.
Rose Bronze looks very good with Desert Titanium.

About ****** support of Arc. I can't agree with it. When I scratched Arc Pulse polished silver for 14PM pretty badly, send photos to support and they send me replacement. But I don't have experience with returning.
Find myself back in the Arc Pulse, pretty sure Iā€™m ordering the Titanium Onyx today. I see no discount codes work for it though.
Just write to support@arc.cc they give you 10% discount code.

About surface of Titanium one. I finally remembered how it feels. Exactly like frames of new iPhone 14 Pro Max black. It looks like stainless steel of iPhone had similar surface.

The Owl has finally landed. It's not a bad case. The fit is pretty tight, buttons a little stiff, but okay, the CC button works but IMO it's crap :oops: I'm not sure if there is anything over the inside of the CC button or not?
Overall for an $18. beater, it's not that bad. Here are a few pics:
Any chance you can share that big weather/calendar widget from your homepage?

Either that, or you might end up on the Arc train. šŸ˜Š
Hopping off the train, glad I tried it and I wouldnā€™t be afraid to rock it but I prefer the thinny thins.

Itā€™s a great bumper and I donā€™t have much negative to say about it really. The price is high in my opinion for what it is. The design is a little funky not necessarily a bad thing. The bumpers on the top front wrapped around the screen bezel unevenly, itā€™s very noticeable when screen is on. That bothered me especially for the price point.

The full exposure and phone feeling more slippery in hand is not for me. Back in the ArmorAir Aurora. I appreciate that it doesnā€™t feel like Iā€™m slapping a bulky heavy case back on after experiencing the Arc. I like the grip it provides while still feeling like I can enjoy the phoneā€™s true shape without any bulk on it.

Iā€™m set on this style of case and luckily theyā€™re future proof with the potential capacitive buttons just like the Arc Pulse šŸ˜€
