My PR camera lens has a gap to… so I gave up on it and will just rotate between the Arc and the Apple clear case …. The 17 not far off so im just going to save the money for 17 case 🤷‍♂️

My Juggernaut iPhone Pro Max ADVNTR case will be here today. It is a very interesting design the iPhone slides in from the top, and it has a bunch of different tactical mounts available to attach to your person or vehicle. It is far more protective than any OtterBox Defender case I have ever used. It has one shortcoming: it does not do MagSafe. This is interesting because up until the Defender case on the 16, none of the cases have been compatible with MagSafe. The present one does, and I rather like it. With that said, I keep it mostly plugged into the MacStudio, as I have since I purchased this Mac Studio for file transfer. I am not sure I am going to use it. It all depends on how easy it is to slide the iPhone in and out of it.


Both questions have been answered in this YouTube. It slides in and out without difficulty, and the case works with MagSafe, but Juggernaut has a secure vehicle and desk-mounted MagSafe-compatible chargers. The MagSafe magnetic attachment does not hold well enough for the environment the case is designed for.

Is the case slippery? How does it feel in the hand?

It’s not slippery at all, in my opinion. Just smudges, which all aramid cases do. They are not quite as noticeable though as they are on a black case.

My only knock on this case is the buttons rattle. I put thin tape inside under the buttons as a membrane, and it stopped.

Yep, not slippery at all.

You do get smudges but you literally cannot see them because of the texture of the case. They also wipe off a lot easier than they do on a silicone case

Buttons on mine don’t rattle

I can't believe I still can't decided which case to get for my new 16 Pro Max! Maybe I should just settle for the Apple Silicone case..
 
Been in the camo Rinke Onyx for almost a week now and it's one fine case. No problems with a saggy CC button lip or anything. It's almost as thin as a thinny thin :oops:

Here’s the TineeOwl. Not much to see, a simple, well-made case, that is a slightly better version of the Sheath at less than half the price. No metal buttons, but better slit buttons than the Sheath ever had. A similar, but better texture in my opinion. The CC button is really easy to press, which I like but may require setting the button to double-click to open to prevent accidental activations. If you’ve been waiting for months for a Sheath with a CC button, I’d say just get one of these and save a few bucks. That’s assuming TineeOwl quality control isn’t an issue. Mine looks good, no obvious flaws so far.

I just got one too and really like it, just wished they omitted the texture on the bottom of the case like the sheath, that texture isn’t as comfy on the bottom.

Are you saying that the nubby texture on the sides is also on the bottom of your Owl? Odd, that’s not the case (no pun intended) in mine. As much as I like it on the sides, I can see how that would be annoying on the bottom.

No just the main material that is on the back of the case. On the Sheath they use a totally smooth piece around the USB c and speaker area, it definitely feels good on your pinky when it’s smooth rather than sandpaper texture. Other than that I have no complaints about this Owl, it’s a great case especially for $20

Ahh, okay. I've never has a Sheath so I have no basis for comparison, so to me the back and bottom basically are smooth. But I can see how that could be improved.
 
Man feels like I haven't been in here in forever. And it's only been like 2 weeks 😂. So much conversation since then.
Been using the Ringke Alles a good bit lately. I liked it at first, but now I like it even more. It's an excellent case and a great CC button.

I agree. I’ve mostly been in super thin cases/bumpers all winter, but now that spring is here in my neck of the woods, I needed something more protective. The Alles fits the bill perfectly. Looking forward to your review (assuming you’re doing one).
