I am liking this stormtrooper looking case. Is it clear or white back? Does it yellow over time?




For anyone - are there any pure WHITE or WHITE/BLACK cases? Nomad had a white/black sport for my 15 PM but they decided not to do it for the 16 PM for some reason.

Clear back, does not yellow since it’s polycarbonate and not tpu
 
Finally in the house …can’t try it out until tonight however as my phone had an issue and picking up a new whitey tonight from the Apple Store

Feels a lot more refined however over the boxy version last year

How are you all finding the silicone case after a few weeks?

Returned them all, I prefer the ESR Zero over it. I value very thin edges. Also the colors aren't "professional"/mature to me. Just my opinion! Waiting for Pitaka's to finally arrive today.

Thank you. How do you like it? Did you swap the hardware from black to titanium/gunmetal? Lastly, I wonder if the R on the back can be removed without messing up the clear back. A slick case. Is it bulky?

Supcase will be a great case for those who will seldom use the camera button.

agreed. the Camera Control via copper rods works well enough, you get used to the feel, and copper is a softer material than sapphire so isn't likely to scratch (according to Supcase anyway).

Wondering if they'll bring the copper rods to the UB Mag XT case, the one with the camera flap, right now it's just a cutout. that's the one I've used in the past when snowboarding and been happy with it.

Yeah, I’ve never used the synthesis, but that does make sense.

I don’t really feel like the Sheath hurts though. I mean, it’s a heavy phone with a case that adds weight. But I think that’s easy to get used to. I got used to the weight of the Clarity 3.0 too, so I’m not too worried!

Had them both, for my 15 pro max. Sheat was my dailly driver. Sheet was great as well, but a pain in the ass to get of the phone.

Once you have a chance to try it out would love to get your feedback on the CC cutout and the amount of lay-on-the-table lip protection with a screen protector. One person said the lip is lower than last year and is zero with a protector, would like to confirm either way. Thanks!

Not bad. It feels very comfortable in the hand, the buttons are good, the fit is good, and it’s holding up fine so far. It has the best camera control I’ve tried so far (not surprising). My only complaints are the same old complaints about silicone cases in general: lint and fingerprints. This year’s version is definitely better than in years past, but those will always be issues with this material to some degree.
 
Has anyone ever used a Casetify brand case? Specifically the 'Impact' case? I would really like one as they look cool and you can customize - but I would like any feedback before dropping that amount of $$$ on one.

They have some cool cases but I can't stand the logos all over them. If I'm spending 50+ on a case, I don't want your name FRONT AND CENTER

Can't decide if I should go for the Gray or Black Frosted...
I feel like the Sides of the Gray may get dirty/change colour whilst the Black Frosted will not have this issue..

So far my gray case has not discolored however, I keep it pretty clean and it is still early. I definitely think you are right that darker colors will indeed mask this.

That was me, did a video showing it. With a screen shield there is no lay on the table - I have the case in Sunset and Moonrise.

Saving you a click into the video here is a pretty good screenshot of what I am talking about - this is with the Belkin UltraGlass2

I am leaning towards the Frosted Black...
I fear the case will be slippery?

I live in the UK and most of these companies make you pay for postage if you want to return the case back which can be expensive, so most people don't bother sending the case back if they don't like it. This is why I'm asking quiet a few questions before purchasing...

For me it has enough grip on the sides that it is not slippery however one other person who has this case mentioned somewhere in this thread that they wished it had a textured grip on the sides... I think its one of those personal preference things.

If you rely solely on the back then yeah I think it has the potential to slide around a bit but I have not had any issues with it personally. Definitely in my top 3 cases.
 
Got the spigen thin fit today. Only camera I have is my phone so can’t post pics.

I’m undecided. The camera button cut out is huge. And that side of the case is quite flappy because of the gigantic cut out.

But it feels lovely in hand. Adds very little bulk to the phone. Magnets are good. Buttons are great IMHO.

Went for the abyss green. Just looks ‘dark’ to me. Wish they had decent colours.

Thanks! Pitaka is always so precise that I can’t imagine it was accidental, but it seems like a poor choice.
