I’m team cover for the CC button, but there aren’t many options for that including this one, but I may get one. Has anyone tried this case, and is it any good?

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.
That’s disappointing about the flappy sides. How tight is the fit otherwise?

Been going back and forth with Frosty Gen6 and Frosty Flex all day …both equally top shelf for my needs. Aramid Flex ended up being my most used case for the 15PM and I can see the same happening this year. Especially with this useless button Apple decided to slap on the side of the phone.

Using last years button components with the texture are a must change for the Gen6.

Tomorrow I will post some pics.

Pitaka also decided to ruin the military grade case. Like someone mentioned with a screen protector there is zero protection and the case is much more slippery this year. Def going back.

Looking forward to the pics! On my 14PM I used the Gen5 most of the time since they added grip to the sides. I think the 12PM was the last time I used the Flex. I remember being torn between the two both times.

I noticed that the impact points of the Gen6 is Frosty, while the Flex looks like the impact points would be on the black frame. That has me leaning more towards the Flex since I’ve seen the clear back crack easily.

I also finally received mine. On the inside it is still called Mag EZ Pro.
I really love the case. It is absolutely thin. But it annoys me that even with the thin Belkin UG Screen Protector it lays directly on the glass. They could make it 2mm higher and it would be the perfect case for me. That`s very disappointing.
As it is, I am going back to my Sheath and stick with it for a while. I will get a Leather case eventually.

I decided to buy less cases this year. With the 15PM I bought way too many.

Exactly just a tad bigger and the case would have been top shelf. Seems a lot of companies had the wrong dimensions when they started making these cases because there are a few companies out there that are thinner than last years cases.

Like you, I am def limiting my purchase history.

Really good!!

I’m returning it because the camera button cut out is awful and I don’t like the colour.

If I’d have liked the colour more I probably would have kept it. If they release any lighter colours I’ll probably order another one.
 
I hate recommending a screen protector because from reading the threads around here, people want perfectly rounded edges, a black border that doesn’t cover a half a pixel on any side, coverage right up to the titanium frame, and a perfect, easy to install, dummy-proof/lint free installation or else it’s sub-par. I have no problems with my Torras. Installation was easy, bubble-free after sitting over night, and lint free. Others struggled with their installation. I didn’t. The black border is right up to the edge of the screen. Looking straight on it doesn’t impede on the screen. On an angle it will cover the edge of the screen a bit because that’s what happens when something is above something else. This fact drives some members here crazy. They put the camera app on and check to make sure none of the highlighted corners of the “viewfinder” are covered. Here’s a picture of mine.

If you tip it on an angle left and right, the vertical lines will disappear behind the black border of the screen protector and the perfection-seekers lose their minds. The edges aren’t as smooth as they could be, but with the Benks on, it makes it a moot point. If any of these “problems” bother you, then maybe the Torras isn’t what you’re looking for. Anyway, my Torras went on straight lint-free, bubble-free and I couldn’t be happier. Maybe I’m not demanding enough. 🤷‍♂️
I have the Torras screen protector as well on my 16 Pro Max and it looks the same in the camera app. As for the edges I put my Spigen Ultra Hybrid T case soon after the screen protector was applied and never noticed the edge. With the case on it’s probably a moot point. I’m happy with it. 😃👍

Frosty Gen6 will be my go to for the time being…well along with the Frosty Flex. I wish I could get cases with non camera control cutouts…offer me the alternative version damn you lol. Adding a button to a phone just seems so non Apple and would have loved to known why that was implemented.

Anyways, I added the matte black components from last year and the case is much better than the new flat buttons @TechnicallyTee mentioned a few days ago …another poor decision by a case company. I don’t know who green lights these mistakes.

I have went through every page of these cases! It really is fun seeing what everyone is getting. I keep getting cases and returning them….lol. In the past I felt like I was able to find the perfect case and this year it looks like I will need to wait a little while longer.

Decided to try something a bit different this year and go with a “Z case” from AliExpress (Oatsbasf MagSafe)

The Apple logo isn’t perfectly centred, and the front protection feels like it’s only 1mm deep over the top of the screen protector, but otherwise wow.

The screen really pops, and the Ti finish on the sides is just right to hold.

I think this one might be a keeper.

They definitely went back to flat buttons so they could sell more “ultra style” button kits lol it was a smart move financially for them

Presumably, you're having a laugh?

I’m so between this and the Flex. I’m trying to avoid ordering both of them and the Air, lol.

I imagine the Flex feels thinner because of the lack of sides? I’m trying to go for a thinner feel this year. But I loved the grip of the Gen 5 Rebel. Mannnn

Apple should ban you from buying an iPhone. What you done there should be declared as a criminal offence.
Ruined the F out of your beautiful device.

To be fair he won’t have any issues with camera control!
