Got a tip for us?

I had a matte black on order with Amazon but they don’t have them in stock yet. Looks like it could be 2-3 weeks before they arrive. I got impatient so cancelled that order and went direct, breaking my own self-imposed rule lol.
The no tax and free shipping came up automatically. Probably due to my location, not really sure?
This thing is nice. I’ve had it for a little while. I give it some run every once in a while still.
Or probably we got better standards 🫣Out of that Prestige this morning - on top of the wonky CC button, it's a major fingerprint/greasy magnet
Guess everyone in the universe received a perfect Prestige except me - I got the dud
For whatever reason, all of the aramid/TPU hybrid cases are the worst smudge monsters.Out of that Prestige this morning - on top of the wonky CC button, it's a major fingerprint/greasy magnet

Awesome, can’t wait to get it..The grip is great. I love the sides of the case. It still reminds me very much of the Ghost 1.0. It’s not a pinky killer at all. Honestly, this is the best clear case on the market right now, if you don’t like transparent sides.
I learn so much and SAVE so much because of you guys, so thanks!
Just received my TineeOwl (with CC button thanks to the assist here!) and it's a winner, especially at that price. Excellent grip, certainly no smudging, not too heavy (but certainly not minimal), and the CC button appears to be quite usable though I haven't really run it through its paces yet.
Luxurious? No, but again, that price point is more than fair. I'll likely still get a leather case as well. If only I could be comfortable that I would receive a gap free RL case!

Don't trust my opinions, I'm old, senile and new at the case game

Dude shut it and just order it lol. Please.Don't trust my opinions, I'm old, senile and new at the case game
I haven’t taken off my prestige since I’ve gotten it. Cc works like a charm. Very responsive with smooth scrolls. Magnet is strong as well. I try to keep my hands clean so fingerprints haven’t really been an issue.
If you want an aramid case with a fixed cc button I highly recommend it. Probably your only choice.
Pretty much all cases attract fingerprints if you keep your hands dirty and greasy. Purell works like a charm just not on leather lol.

Mine arrived yesterday for my 16 Pro. I like that it provides a more snug fit and more substantial protection than the Apple silicone case. But it's definitely heavier. Like that it allows me to drop my phone into my pocket or pull it out in one quick motion if I’m moving between phone and other tasks.
Before receipt I’d been concerned that the sides of the case might be too loose but they seem perfectly rigid to me.
Probably gonna stick with it unless Caudabe figures out how to make a camera control button. The upgrade to metal action/volume/side buttons would be nice.
Yep, metal buttons would make the TineeOwl an absolute steal in the sub-$20 category but at least they are still nice and clicky.
I just returned mine to Amazon. It was a decent case, but the weight was very noticeable to me. Made my phone feel like a brick.I need to order that TineeOwl, at this rate I got nothing to lose
Definitely not a case for minimalists, but that's not me. Hell, I also added a Torras magsafe kickstand to it!
Lol I don’t know about that, Mr. I-Like-The-Fine-Woven-and-bought-every-color. 🤪
I can send pics of it here in a few, the buttons pops out so easy on the Rhinoshield cases and im not a huge fan. I feel like it’s done really lazy but I have to actually pop them in and see how they perform, I think they do pretty well from the quick moment I played with it.
Got my Benks case! Guess what. Ordered the wrong one. Doubt I can return. So pissed. I’m an idiot. Guess I’m going with Ryan London
