Amazon says my Spigen Hybrid Ultra T is arriving on Friday but I’m leaving on a long trip late on Thursday…any chance it arrives early?
Amazon extended my delivery date multiple times before I finally cancelled my order. Not saying you won’t receive yours, but there is the possibility that they won’t deliver on time.
 
I got this Tineeowl Case from Amazon for like $17 for the IP16pro. It looks nice, the texture is enjoyable, yes it has a cutout, but will hold me off until I find a nice case that doesn’t.

Color is Dusty Lilac

My Benks Golden Tide is here (took around 6 business days to get to Australia) and what a high quality and well made case.

I had the Pitaka StarPeak last year and the Benks is the same (if not better) than the Pitaka. And it’s cheaper!

The four corners on the front are slightly raised, above the screen protector that I have. The bottom is fully enclosed except for two small slits. Feels solid and good in the hand, and the MagSafe is strong.

Any way to post that leaves wallpaper? That’s 🔥
thank you soooo much!!
 
Amazon says my Spigen T should be there tomorrow, but it hasn't even shipped yet, so I'm very skeptical of that date.

Tracking mine and it’s actually on the move from Kentucky on its way to California, hopefully it gets to me by Thursday…
 
Caudabe sheath 15 series - 47 grams
Caudabe synthesis 15 series - 45 grams

Caudabe sheath 16 series - 50 grams
Caudabe synthesis 16 series - 49 grams

Why’d they make these cases heavier? For cases that are more “minimalist” the 16 series is quite chunky 😬
 
Anybody else have a hard time with the texture on the Caudabe sheath? The case is masterfully designed in all other ways (minus maybe the weight) and the texture is clearly a deliberate choice, but I can’t vibe with it. It’s oddly slippery and rough in my hand rather than grippy. I’ve been using a sheath for the past 2 weeks expecting to get used to it or to break it in but I’ve been unable to shake my displeasure with it. I want to give it a fair shake because it’s so highly regarded here and elsewhere. Any one else sheath ambivalent out there?

I'm just the opposite, I like the texture on the Sheath a lot. The one I had on my 13 Pro wasn't as textured and it was more slippery to me, the 16 Pro case offers better grip and I like the rougher feel. The only other thing I'd wish for would be some grooves/knurling on the sides of the case, like they have on the Synthesis and/or Paragon.

Feel the same way, also end up buying a sheath but yeah it just isn't a minimalist case anymore.

I definitely felt the heft when I slapped it on. It’s been returned lol
 
Thank you!! Was looking for this exactly, with the Black phone. Seems like the white one looks best with it… what’s your opinion in person?
I think the white looks great. I’m a sucker for orange, so it’s my favorite. Maybe after Halloween I’ll switch to the white.
 
This will be controversial on here! I know I'm in the minority in liking this sort of thing.... 🤣

My Suti PhoneBack order arrived yesterday, and I absolutely flippin love them!! I ended up settling on one on last year's 15 Pro but they only had leather and silicone versions then. I pre-ordered these the second they were released, absolutely love these materials.

The one on my phone is the NanoSuede in Polar Fleece colour. It's my favourite of the 4 so far.

In the picture of all 4 cases, L-R is Nano Suede Polar Fleece, NanoSuede Black, Carbon Fiber, and Clear.

(100% in no way am I linked to Suti, just absolutely love their product, and their founder Lon is really responsive on emails which I love).
