Suti case just arrived to my states facility (like 15 mins away from me). It says arrives by Thursday still.
Cool! My package is Moving Through Network - In Transit to Next Facility, Arriving On Time. Expected delivery still Thursday. I am in the Philly, PA area.

Which one did you order? I ordered Alpine Orange Silicone.

Had a look at the tech woven today when I was in the Apple Store and really liked it. I just have flashbacks of the fine woven scratching my 15 PM and worry the tech woven will do the same with the 17.

So far the ghost 2.0 and apple
Silicone are coming too for me. But I do like the look of that pitaka.

How did the FineWoven scratch your phone?

No way. No frigging way. Seriously. I'm having trouble believing that. Fine Woven was such a nice case.

Just a note on the Enzo that is a very pleasant improvement. Not seen one finger print/mark on the aramid back since I've had it. It's textured compared to last years super smooth feel which must help.

What do we think about the Bullstrap case for the 17 Pro/Max ?

Looks like nice soft lining for the camera plateau :oops:

Are these cases shipping from China?

I believe they ship it over from Boca Raton, FL. That’s where their offices are last I checked and every time I order from them I get the cases pretty quick since I’m over in Miami.

I know some people have preordered it, but has anyone received it yet? There’s only like two videos on YouTube about it yet from sponsored streamers. I’m waiting on actual reviews of it. But it has intrigued me since it was announced.
It shows shipping late October now. I haven't ordered it yet but the pictures and videos are really tempting. Love the unique look and if it protects from falls then it's golden.

This is the video if anyone wondering.

Quite in depth but still it's sponsored so I would take it with a grain of salt.

I am intrigued as well. Hopefully Best Buy will carry it. I don’t want to play the preorder game with dbrand and also have to deal with their crappy third party shipping service.

I don’t know what happened with OP, but I believe in most instances, what actually scratches a phone are fine particles of grit or sand that get between the case and phone. This can happen with any case, but particularly with those that have a looser fit. For example, a friend of mine went on a river raft trip down the Grand Canyon with a brand new 16PM in a Nomad Rugged case. They camped every night for a week on the sandy shoreline. I saw his phone afterwards and it looked like someone took a belt sander to it.

This working in the US? Working for Mous?
I will not say this how they still do it but but when I had a 13 Pro Max, I ordered the mous leather case and I didn’t like it because I felt like the back was slippery. They swapped it out for the speckled case and let me keep the leather one. I ended up giving it to a friend who had the same phone. I don’t know if they’ll still do that now, so don’t quote me. This was direct from mous.

I bet he was too busy doing something else under the Starry Canyon instead of looking after his device.

I received my xtremeskins for the Plateau. Unfortunately I only got glossy ones despite I ordered also matte. But they look quite good imo.

I really like my Benks Armor Pro Case. I also ordered the Spigen Enzo with the black Buttons and Camera Ring. It looks good too. I still hate the Lanyard Loop which is an entrypoint for dust. Also it is quite thicker than the Benks case.

I will eventually get a Otterbox Cactus, Moft Deep Blue Leather or Andar Leather case. Not sure yet but for the moment I am happier than I was with the 16PM for the first 6 Months or so :cool:

I have the Apple silicon case on the pro max and the elago silicon case from Amazon. The Apple one feels much better quality and doesn’t seem to attract as much lint.
I do like the elago one though as it doesn’t have any horrible branding visible, it has an actual camera control button instead of a cut out and it was only £17.99 instead of £49

Clear one and it changed to out for delivery. I might return it though as it came so late. Idk how it is compared to the matter one

Sweet! I am curious to hear your feedback. It may be a PITA to return it. Suti did the clear dirty with the full MagSafe circle 👎
 
anyone have recommendations for a "rugged case" something with medium bulk? After seeing all the reddit posts about the phone denting thru phone cases, I have little faith in the AS actually protecting the phone this year.


not trying to go full blown otterbox defender.
