Nomad Magma vs Ultra Orange o_O We have a new champion, Magma :p

This new Magma color is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Okay, I caved and ordered the Magma sport case after receiving the band today :cool:

I had forgotten about Speck, too. They used to be such a major player - what happened?
And Incase used to make the best feeling and fitting thin cases! They used to do a thin snap-on case that would be amazing on the 16 Pros right now lol

I look forward to seeing the Magma case. I've got the Ultra Orange strap and really love that it doesn't have lots of buckley bits like the new version - so I'd be interested how the Ultra strap goes with the Magma case.
 
I know this has likely been asked and covered before. Please point or help.
Looking for solid protection. I have been using otterbox commuters for years and found them to be solid protection without too much bulk.
The 16 Pro Commuters have a large camera cutout that I don't care for.
Would ideally like something better looking than the spigen tough armor that's talked about a lot. I don't mind weight. Just cleaner lines and more minimalistic.

Like the looks of some of the kevlar / aramid cases, like Benks Armor Pro. How do they stand up protection wise?
How does the Smartish Gripzilla compare in drop protection compared to the Otterbox commuter or spigen tough armore?
Caudabe Synthesis?

Any others I should look at. Priorities:
- Drop Protection
- Screen Protector friendly
- Clean lines and minimalistic. Doesn't need to be super thin.
- Camera button, but willing to consider a precision cutout unless folks thinks its risky
 
Nomad rugged until the Magma sport case arrives next week ;)

My watch screen protector is getting hairy along the edges o_O

Just trying to liven up the old dead case thread here :rolleyes:

If you don’t like the cutout (those that I’ve tried have ranged from bad to worse), then the list is short. Check the first page in this thread for the current list. Spigen Ultra Hybrid T or Otterbox Lumen might meet your criteria. Personally, I gave up on third-party cases and settled on the Apple Silicone.
