Camping out in this thread has turned me into a case addict. I am enjoying my visits here. I have been using my RL case for several days now and I am still thrilled with it. That said, I don’t think I can resist getting a Year of the Snake Pitaka case. If I do get it, that would be case number 8.

I have owned a bunch of different iPhones and have never purchased more than 3 cases for each phone. That CC button appears to have had a pernicious impact on case buying. Unbelievable.
 
While I love my Pitaka thinny thin this is gorgeous. I second the armor air. Have the all black version and it’s an amazing case. Would look so stealth with the black phone. Vader look.

Yes you’re right, it is super stealthy and looks awesome but I prefer the woven textured ones for the feel, grip and less fingerprints.
 
I bought the new ESR clear case with camera control. ($17 from Amazon.) It is very similar to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T. However, I like the ESR better for these reasons:
  1. Noticeably grippier
  2. Slightly better camera control
  3. It appears to be a bit more protective.
After an hour on my phone, it's a keeper. I'll see what I think in a week. Fortunately, it's an easy Amazon return if necessary.

This is case #7 - the most I've ever bought in a single year. Thanks, enablers! ;)

@Zensō does your Arc Pulse look tighter around the bezel on the top left looking at your screen? When I look at my phone (screen on) the top left leaves barely any screen bezel from the bumper and the top right shows more bezel and looks uneven. I’m assuming all of them do that?
Just FYI, following up. After a few days and taking the upper piece off a couple of times, my matte black Arc is now seating perfectly centered. Not sure why, but I think perhaps there is a bit of a break in period for the polymer liner to seat in.
 
Out of the ghost 2.0 and trying the symmetry, cut out and all. Favorite case for the 15pm so had to give it a shot. Tineeowl also arrived, next up to try in the rotation.

Thanks for following up. Seemed like the one I had would have stayed the same but I won’t know since I’m returning it. For that price point I expected better alignment for sure, so glad to hear yours has improved.

That’s a looker. I mostly really like ultra thin aramid cases, but a couple of issues started wearing on me after extended use. One, the cutouts along the side get irritating after a while (I believe this is exacerbated because I’m a lefty)…
I don’t want to sound like an idiot, but that ship has sailed so many times :oops:
Being a lefty, do you hold your phone in your left or right hand?
