Anyone have comparisons of ESR and Spigen Thin Fit Magfit for the 16 Pro Max?
Which one do you like better?
Which one do you like better?
I did mine while I was at the Apple Store right out the box. The genius thought it was cool how similar it was to their machine.
At first I thought I pulled the screen protector off when opening the contraption as the long film was still attached to the front of the protector. Wish the protector was truly edge to edge but can’t complain perfect install.
I’ve ordered the Natural Titanium Pro, but I’m struggling to choose a case.
I’m really not into any of the clear or plastic ones like Spigen.
Coming from the 13 Pro Max, I always went with Apple’s leather cases. I tried the silicone case at one point but didn’t like how it rubbed against my pocket and felt kind of cheap.
I’ve seen some leather cases from Bellroy that seem decent, but it’s a shame Apple discontinued their leather cases they were the best.
Samsung had an Alcantara case at one point, which was awesome (that soft nubuck-like material they use in premium sports car interiors). I wish Apple made something like that as replacement for those awful Woven cases.

Do you like the Spigen case more or less than Apple? I’m debating the clear Spigen or just an Apple Silicone, depending on what’s thinner feeling
The camera control cutout barely goes past the phones edge but there's enough material that it doesn't expose the edge of the phone. The power button cutout sits maybe 1mm past the power button.
I’ll just drop it on the MagSafe charger tonight as usual.
Same! They definitely did something to the coating. It feels better than past years.Really liking the Apple silicone case
Me too!Really liking the Apple silicone case
Is the black a fingerprint/ greasy hand magnet? Just my experience in the past, but these cases to seem different.
I promised to follow up regarding the Camera Control button on the Supcase UB Mag. It works, but not nearly as well as the button on the Apple Silicone. I’ll be returning it.
The silicone does feel slightly different this year, and so far the fingerprints aren’t as bad as I remember, but I think perhaps it’s too early to tell. I’ll have a better idea in a few days. I also bought the Stone Gray as a backup in case the lint and fingerprints become annoying.
Yeah I got the Lake green and Plum. Been rocking the lake green, and it seems good so far. Wanted the all black combo, but was afraid of the fingerprints. Keep me posted. The combo is fire.
I got about 364 days left with this phone, gonna charge to 100% and get my moneys worth
Those with apple silicone case, have you used it with previous iphones? Does the firmness hold up? Will the lips get loose with time and start showing the metal edges of your phone (stainless steel/titanium)? And then when you drop it, the phone fly out of the case and scuff the edges?
Here’s the Nomad rugged case (desert color) on the desert titanium pro. I returned the Caudabe sheath in favor of this case on my 14, and I love it so far. The cc button hole is my only gripe. The lip on this case is deeper than average, and you really have to press it with purpose. The scrolling aspect is also tough if you’re using your thumb. This critique of the cc button is relative to the Apple case, which is flawless vis a vis the button (but I prefer the nomad in every other respect).

I would say the fit is much, much tighter this year. I mean I am actually surprised how tight it is.
So I didn’t have a 15 pro series, so never had the limit, but after two years of the 14 pro I am paying close attention to battery. The phone told me to keep it charging while transferring the data, so I did. But I will try not to charge to 100% much at all.
That's my only nit as well. I was surprised that it doesn't go edge to edge, but I assume there's a reason for that (?) and don't think it'll bother me at all.
Yes, I’ve used the silicone cases with my 8 and 12 phones.
Yes, the firmness holds up. The edges don’t get loose.
I’ve dropped my 12 Pro Max a million times on tile floors. The phone does not (and can not) come out of the case.
I did manage to break a corner of my first silicone case when I dropped the phone. But the phone was unscathed. The second case is still on my 12 three years later.
