I was still using my Benks Armor Pro until today while still waiting for my Sheath. Meanwhile I also got the frosted Synthesis but it is way to Bulky for me and I did not even used it until of the day I received it.

Today I received the Moft Movas in Navy Blue. I tried to shoot some pictures with my iPad but the Color looks extremely off. I will do some tonight with another iPhone.

I would like leather Cases but the Magsafe ring after 1 Day of using annoys me so much. The cactus case was fine for my 15PM 2 years back but I heard a lot of issues with this years model.

I really like the fake leather and handling of the Moft Movas. It is not as bulky as many others and comparable to the Benks Armor Pro. On Monday and Tuesday my Sheath will finally arrive and then I will see which one will be my favorite.

Some say the rattle is negligible, some say it’s a lot. I would think that floating / removable buttons can’t be helped.

Literally just about every case with floating buttons rattle when you shake it like a mad man looking for rattle. Now I know on the Sheath there is a fix because some do rattle more than others but normally, buttons that rattle a little is a non issue.

It’s a good job there are lots of different case styles to choose from because to my eyes that is FUGLy! 😂

I’ve had about 50/50 rattling vs non-rattling floating buttons. I think we can expect companies to produce cases with buttons that don’t rattle, it’s not asking a lot.

Personally, my dislike of loose buttons isn’t so much the sound, but the feel.

Has anyone noticed any impact on reception from cases that have a metal camera surround?

I have the TW Apple case (not metal), but I posted a few weeks back that i found phone signal/mobile reception to be impacted by the case, as when it was removed, websites loaded quickly for example. I will say that I have a dual SIM as my office has little to no signal, but my 15PM did not display these kind of issues when I had it.

It doesn't appear to be having much of an impact now-the phone was only 2 days old when I took it into work-maybe it was still doing background 'stuff' which impacted it? I don't know.#

Useful reply, right 😂

I personally don’t know the ins and outs of making buttons not move around, it’s usually more than what the customer knows. But it’s been very very few times when I’ve touched button or seen them move around where it bothered me personally.

To each his own. For me, overly loose buttons immediately make a case feel cheap, like loose clutch/brake levers on a motorcycle, or a loose stick shift linkage on an old car. It’s a sloppy feeling…

If it’s too loose I for sure agree but I can’t remember a case where I’ve felt they were too loose. I’ve felt that before but nothing as of recent hasn’t really made me feel that. For those that have the Sheath with the button issue, I don’t have one so I haven’t felt it.

Has anyone tried the Spigen Enzo Aramid T on a 17 PM? It has good reviews, however I'm concerned about the metal frame around the opening causing damage to the antenna plateau.

I'm also considering a Mous Limitless, as it has a similar design, but with a plastic opening around the plateau.

I’ve had both. I loved the Enzo but I was worried about the metal ring on the plateau also.
I ended up returning it. I kept the Mous Leather case. Didn’t like the aramid Mous. Just felt weird and not much grip. The Enzo aramid felt a lot better to me.

The Enzo is super nice though. Was probably the best case build quality wise I’ve ever held. Also still had decent lip protection even with a screen protector. I was surprised about that.
