ordered an andar leather case. never tried them. checkout process left me less than happy. they want $2+ for free returns and secure delivery and after you pay they try to get you to pay an extra $9 to ship right away. ??? why not just ship as soon as possible without bogus markups. already regretting supporting this bs.
 
Used the Arc Pulse for a week, phone in hand felt amazing but I was worried using it at work. Got the TineeOwl today and damn this thing is goooood
I’m of the opinion when it comes to the Arc Pulse. I love the design and idea behind it but I’ve already dropped my phone a couple of times ( I’m using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T and so far the phone’s been fine with no damage ) but I would be concerned that would not be the case if I used the Arc Pulse. 🤔

The Arc provides very good drop protection… on flat surfaces (it’s rated to 10 feet). On uneven surfaces such as a staircase or river rocks, all bets are off. Even though I really like it, that fact keeps me from using it in all situations.

Here’s a thought. If the 145% tariff applies to these Paragon cases, and Caudabe chooses to pass along the tariff to consumers, the math may look something like this:

Current list price: $49
Current cost assuming 40% markup: $29.50
145% tariff: $43
New cost: $72.50
New retail price: $121
Poor saps that preordered the S25 ultra cases o_O

And they will sell about 2 cases, and send 20 free ones to YouTubers.

They need a warehouse in UK. Obviously if they contact me I can help lol.

Just saying …

Move the cost price decimal point one place to the left 😄

Happy Easter guys!
Does it seem to you that Benks Aurora with CC button now has a different ring color and slightly changed pattern on the back?

Ringke or Phone Rebel Gen 6 Ultra? Which is the better case?
Ringke and Gen 6 both are great but im liking Ringke more.

Gen 6 is very bulky and yes greasy back will drive you nuts. Its not for daily use imo.

Ringke Onyx is just so light and thin but yes it doesn’t have that CC button. Daily driver definitely.

I mostly liked the Onyx but the loose area above the cutout was a deal breaker for me. I’m left handed so my fingers land right there and I could feel that part flex every time I picked up the phone. Drove me nuts.

It’ll be one of the best cases when they add a CC button.

My new camo Onyx is not loose at all and I have no problems with it. Sure, if you pull on it, it may stretch out. I've been in the Onyx for the past 30 days and never once have I had any problems with that area. I only use that camera button once in a blue moon though.

I purchased mine back in November - I wonder if they firmed up that area since then?
