Only one currently, clear Spigen Ultra Hybrid T. I am now only using it when I go out and sometimes not even then. I am considering getting an Aquamarine Apple Silicone case because it may be easier to get on and off than the Spigen.
I actually find it easy to get on and off the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T.
 
Ive given up on PR support. They finally replied back on 19th saying below:

Since then Ive replied back to them both via my Gmail and iCloud accounts but no response. Even tried their social media.
 
I’m pretty much full time in my new, tight fitting Arc unless I’m on an outdoorsy weekend excursion, which is covered by the Phone Rebel. Not sure where a Caudabe would fit in with their dismal protection-to-weight ratio. I’m also annoyed with their customer service reps who have been shining us on for months with the “stay tuned” comments. No thanks.
After I take video of my Arc Pulse Ti - support finally decided that it's defected and sent me replacement. They are great 👍.
Next week I will be only man who has 2 titanium Arc Pulses together 🤣🤣

Do you think the replacement will actually be less prone to scratching?
 
Scratches is the smallest thing. It is actually patina for me.
I found smudges or defects - https://streamable.com/kbh068
And there is loose fit - https://streamable.com/5474bv
There seems to be some quality control issues with the Arc fit. I have two that fit nice and tight, one that practically falls off with a slight bump.

QC with cases in general seems poor across almost all brands. My new Phone Rebel has a gap between the metal camera surround and the TPU body on one corner. This showed up after taking the case off just a couple of times. It’s a perfect spot to trap every type of dust and detritus. Now I have to decide if it’s worth the hassle to deal with PR support and ship it back for a replacement. Ugh.

So this year I had a defective Arc (loose), Süti (warped), Otterbox (rattling button), Phone Rebel (camera surround gap), Pitaka (loose camera surround), and a number of Benks (you name it). It’s been a banner year. 😂

That’s the one thing I can say about Apple cases, like them or not, I’ve rarely had one with defects (can only recall one FineWoven with an off center port opening).

Completely agree.
My first Arc pulse - graphite has the worst fit, but I didn't care because I switched to Rose Bronze that has the best fit.
3 defective Pitaka cases (replaced), 1 Benks. I also tried Apple Silicon that has gap around CC button.
This year is crazy!

I hope new Arc Ti will be good.
