iPhone 17/Air/Pro/Pro Max Cases

Following up on my earlier Süti complaint, the USPS tracking info now says "USPS has not received a postage payment for your item. As of September 23, 2025 at 1:38 am, it is being held awaiting payment and cannot be processed. If the postage is received, the package will be delivered to the recipient; otherwise the package will be considered Postal Service property under USPS regulations and will not be delivered." I bought three phonebacks from them for my 16 pro and I loved them. I had no problem whatsoever with delivery of those items. I don't know what's happened to the company.

You’re the second person in this thread who has received that message. Not a good sign.

Mous limitless came this morning via Amazon and I think I’m gonna send it back. It looks and feels nice but the area around the camera control button is loose and you can see the aluminum just in that spot. I can only imagine it will get worse over time.

Looks like I’m going to stick with the Tech Woven for the foreseeable future. Might grab a second one in a different color to change it up once in a while.

Sounds like import duties need to be pad.

Here’s my offering. Black iPhone Air, Apple bumper case and a skin.

I may actually modify the bumper and put grip indents on it if I feel it’s too slick.

Oh no! I have a rhinoshield on order, it should be here soon. Why do you say it was unusable?

Because its super thick at 15 mm. I mean it may work for some but Im looking for a thin case. Next to it is the SUPCASE bumper at 10mm.

Anyone have shipping movement with Caudabe besides Synthesis? This waiting is like watching grass grow.

Nope, just the black Synthesis yesterday.
I have a separate order for the Sheath & Paragon together and so far nothing at all on them.

My Andar just reached me too. Is your camera control button very difficult to press? Mine is slightly indent and lower than the case. Was expecting it to be at least flush to the case.

Mine’s like that too FWIW. Don’t think it’s a defect though, I just think they may have designed it like that to avoid accidental clicks.

My Nomad Rugged case is much too easy to press. I'd honestly prefer it to be harder to activate.

The clear case with the white rectangular patch looks good with a white iPhone. But it'll look odd with a blue or orange phone :S

It’s very clear the clear case this year is designed for the Silver Pro/ Max. It looks really cool, like the old Mac mini 1st Gen , Magic Keyboard, or iPods with that two-tone silver aluminum and white plastic. This case definitely doesn’t work with blue or orange, but it’s the perfect match for silver!

I’m getting the same vibe from my white/silver Air with the Apple Clear case. It sort of reminds me of an iPod in both look and feel.

Any chance someone has a picture of the silver pro with the black “Everest” Beats rugged combo? I’d like to see it before unloading 80 bucks… these case prices are getting insane for a hunk of plastic.

What’s the verdict on a Caudabe discount code? Stupidly used all my rewards for a 16 series case like a month ago, should have saved it.

Also, had some in-store pics. I’m liking this one. Especially the volt colored lining and buttons - and that the bottom edge is fully enclosed. Sorry - didn’t have the 17PM unboxed at the time to fit it in.

I ordered that black rugged Beats, but I’m getting the feeling the neon buttons won’t look right with the orange PM.

Looks-wise, still loving the green Apple TW with the orange PM. Just not sure about the durability in the long run.

The orange might be better with the orange phone?

Thanks, I’ve seen those, was looking for some pics with the silver phone in real life

I saw this in the leather thread. For those with metal camera rings, have you experienced a drop in speed as well?

PSA for all metal camera bump ring cases: I measured a significant drop in bandwidth with the Lonli case on vs no case:

With Lonli case:

I just got the Lonli in since it’s one of the nicer green leather cases I’ve seen. It’s beautiful, though the green on the camera ring and the buttons don’t match (hard to photograph, but I tried).

Well, I was wanting something not so orange (I know - might sound silly since I bought an orange phone).

I would rather go with a case that’s not all orange.

I love the size and feel of my pitaka case but dislike the possibilities of scratching the camera plateau with my car keys etc.

Considering one more option of getting orange skin for that reason and covering the parts that pitaka can't cover.

I don't dislike the dbrand ghost 2.0 at all - the neg though: visible finger smudging on the back, thicker than pitaka.

Yeah I’m happy with it like that as I don’t accidentally press it lol

Honestly I didn’t like this at first. But after accidentally pressing the button 6 times on my cactus in one day , I prefer the harder to get to button on my andar cases

 

[Itsedstech]

I said I wouldn’t buy anymore cases until Black Friday. Yet here we are 🤦‍♂️ I’m gonna use one of those films that makes the Apple logo not visible and slap a Apple logo sticker on it in the middle of the MagSafe circle instead of that ugly spot towards the bottom of the circle

Marketplace looking like a flee market with all your 15/16 cases 😂

That Cosmic Orange and Milky Way Galaxy Pitaka is a good look!
