Just for little research..
I have here new Arc Pulse Titanium Onyx Black, like new - only tested fitment.
Is someone here would be interested? How much can you offer? There is only problem, that I'm from Czechia (EU), so shipping will be around $30.

Just considering to keeping it for the future, or sell it.

Remember to add your 20% tariff as well. :rolleyes:

Now that I am paying attention to this photo CC button, how can a button this thick work with CC? clicking for photos OK but the rest??? I have to say the single click part for a snapshot is OK but zoom-controlled like this not so good.
 
It will be a long time, if ever before you see a price increase caused by any tariff on items like this. Tariffs are added at the import level, not the retail level a $50 case would have two cents added to the cost with a 20% tariff. this is inside the daily fluctuation of daily monetary exchange rates. What to watch for is retailers using this as an excuse to raise prices and blame tariffs.

Yes, there will be plenty of that as well.

Just for grins I put in US-made iPhone cases and found this; Raptic their cases are entirely made in the United States their reason for doing this is very interesting. Not just for US workers but mainly for environmental reasons. In the US manufacturing has to be done in an environmentally friendly way. This does not happen anywhere in the Far East except in Japan. I was looking over what they have and I like what I see. They have an interesting AirPod Pro 2 case I might order.

Interesting find. They even have a couple aramid fiber cases, for the thinny heads!

The buttons use a conductive layer, so thickness shouldn’t be an issue.

follow up on the magbak elite with cc button. i finally got around to putting my phone in. i’ve got to say, despite my disappointment that i think they just added a pop in button to the existing cases, it feels solid. it’s not like the dbrand ghost where its really soft and easy to push in. it feels solid like i said. ymmv as i’m not adept at swiping really fast and testing it out that way. i’m satisfied. wish i could have just purchased the button since i already had a case. hopefully someone else gets one and can really test the cc button. the case itself i really like. the case material feels good in the hand, it’s grippy. plenty of protection back and front. decent buttons. really slim and unique in that it has a finger ring that is quick to use and easily goes back in, kickstand, good magsafe…

Mine is out for delivery as we speak. When I get home I’ll put it thru its paces. I was trying to shake down MagBak for a generous discount for people that have already bought version 1 (cut out) that want to buy version 2 (cc button) and they originally sent me a 20% off code that was already available to the public lol. Then they gave me another 10% off once I chirped some more but I had to order first, then they did a partial refund. With the price of this case the button better be good! I love this case and use it all the time which is why I wanted the updated version. I’ll report back once I have more intel.

The magbak elite looks butt ugly. I will say however their MagSafe chargers for cars are awesome. I’ve bought like 5 of them. Good quality so I suspect their cases are too

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder… lol

But on a more serious note, I think it’s cool looking, def not tops in the looks category but the comfort and functionality boost it way up for me.


Also been meaning to report, when I first got my Mous limitless with CC I thought I was robbed, but after using it, I fell in love with it, such a good case and the leather is grippy yet stylish. People complaining about the CC popping out, that only would happen when changing the case, so just pay attention not to lose it every once in a while that you change it. Wouldn’t think that would be a big deal to people like us that are addicted to cases and changing them, swappable buttons, etc. I have been using the Mous probably the most out of all my cases over the last few months.

Been wanting to order the Mous with CC button but still haven't. Does the leather show the Magsafe ring/indentation after some use?
 
Thinking about ordering a Mous CC case. Aramid fiber or black leather?

The leather worries me as I’ve had MagSafe rings/indents and marks on past Mous cases with the black leather. Maybe I’ll go for the aramid?

I’m going to need me that Midnight Paragon Ultra case :cool: straight away once the iPhone joint starts popping
 
So for former Caudabe Sheath users is there any recommended current case with Camera Control cover? In need of a new case.
