iPhone 17/Air/Pro/Pro Max Cases

[Hooterville]

Are these button surrounds on the inside of the TechWoven cases metal or plastic?
They protrude quite a bit and I worry about these scratching the sides of the phone.

Caudabe was supposedly sending out tracking numbers on Friday. Has anyone received theirs yet for the Sheath?

Nope, not a single person here has received shipment information for the Sheath or Paragon

I had to go look at the Caudabe Paragon cases just to see what the fuss is about, and I like the look of the Ember Paragon if I were interested in a case. I’m thinking of buying 1 case for events when I’m out of the house and need more protection.

I received the frost yesterday. The frost is much thicker depth wise compared to the ghost. The frost feels very blocky (and bloated) due to the flat edges all around. The ghost has a better form factor and feels better in the hand. The frost may be going back.

i’ve been using the frost extensively the last few times so i feel like i’m used to it but yes your points are all valid. i may be sending it back as well

I didn't realize Ryan London abandoned their leather-wrapped camera plateau bump, even on the open bottom

They released that today for the pro

Ah, okay. Thank you.

Still in the DBrand Ghost 2.0 - cant find anything that makes me want to take this case off of my phone… could it be possible I don’t buy 10,000 cases this year?! I’d love it if that’s true lol.

Got in the Rokform Crystal because it was one of my favorites for the 16 pro. Really nice case, like the way they designed the plateau, esthetically I like the ghost better though.

Also just received the Synthesis, another nice case. The back is even more shiny this year, to combat all the scratches that used to happen with this case. Mine doesn’t have the white haze @Hooterville encountered. Maybe send it back for a replacement?

All in all, I like both new cases, I just like the Ghost in hand, and how it looks with the silver iPhone more.

You get the black or frost Synthesis?

this will probably be the first year i dont really post case pics here, i recently returned my 17PM for the air and plan to go primarily caseless with it.

Synthesis materials, build quality and fit are great but boy is it chonky compared to the old synthesis

This 💯. It is bloated and boxy. My frost synthesis is most likely going back.

Did anyone get the Pitaka Aramid UltraGuard Case?

I bought this Ringke Onyx case off Amazon to protect my 17 Pro Max while I wait for my Caudabe Paragon to come in. It’s actually a great case. Feels good in hand (like a smoother version of the Caudabe Sheath case) and protects the phone nicely.

Does it come with a felt lining?

 

[UnjustifiedBot]

Does it come with a felt lining?

The one for the air doesn’t. I’d imagine none of them do.

Suti phone back, are we getting closer?

The USPS tracking number attached to the above Parcel Delivery Network info:

Pre-Shipment:​

Pre-Shipment, USPS Awaiting Item September 10, 2025

I received a USPS tracking number on 9/20 via my Informed Delivery account:

In Transit from Origin Processing:​

CHICAGO IL DISTRIBUTION CENTER on September 27, 2025 at 8:54 pm

Expected Delivery by:​

Thursday, October 2, 2025,by 9:00pm

Is the later the correct USPS tracking number?

 

[Hooterville]

Does it come with a felt lining?

Nope and no CC button either.

Otherwise fantastic cases though.

Go to your local Best Buy if you have one and grab a Dbrand Ghost case. Shows off the phone and has incredible grip to it.

I have the Ghost but the issue for me is no lip page. Not slam boi certified. Are you experiencing that?

 

[blaine07]

Thankfully, yes.

Anyways, I can’t blame anyone but myself but I WAS being careful. I sent it to Benks but they don’t owe me anything; still curious as to what they say.

Does Benks support usually not respond to emails after a couple days lol ?

It’s that time of year. Hardly anyone responds in a timely manner in September-October.

Same here. Speaking of, what do you all do with your leftover cases? I rarely have any luck selling mine, and I hate to send them to the landfill. Donate? Not sure if charities even accept phone cases…

Do you have every flavor of TW?

I give mine to my daughter, she sells them on eBay and keeps all the money, so I end up with nothing in the long run.
