That’s what I was running before I got my Paragon.
The techwoven cases are really good this year.
Side comment: I like MobileReviewsEh channel and content!
Seems like a lot of cases this release don’t have a lot of screen protection / raise-ivity.
I don’t use a screen protector and I normally use ultra slim cases so drop protection isn’t something of my concerns.
For me the Techwoven is perfect for the protection I need.
Never been the type to get a case for military grade drop protection and so on.
Looks like the have the ProGuard case but not the UltraGuard. I didn’t like the chunky corners and thin TPU CC button on the ProGuard.
Still don’t have the phone so I can’t say for sure. The sides aren’t textured like the sheath but it doesn’t feel slippery. The “orca resin” has a tiny bit of tackiness to it, but not to the point lint will stick to it.
The lip might be a tiny bit less pronounced than my sheath. I don’t think a screen protector will be an issue, but I’ll see tomorrow.
All of this hassle with Caudabe and the rattling buttons, delays, visible seams, slightly misaligned cutouts etc...
Looking forward to the chaos they're going to provide this time next year with the iPhone Fold or whatever they call it...

I have this Pitaka case in my cart and even used a 10% off code but I’m a little apprehensive as I’ve never used this brand before, and I don’t know if it’ll be bulky with the 17PM, especially the sides. The one I like is $80 and is out of stock, which is good because I probably would’ve bought it.
It’s the ProGuard. The one I want is the Ultra
Anyone have any Mous coupons? I really want their thin fiber
Broke down and bought a black techwoven after my Bellroy is still pulling away around the bezel (the hair dryer technique turned out to be only a temporary fix 🥲)
Thankfully I ordered it off Amazon because the one I received looks like it has a manufacturing defect causing this raised bump on the back in the top right. Returning that one and ordered another hoping it doesn’t have that issue.

The Ultra reminds me of my old Evutec case, with the weave wrapped around the edges and fused TPU core and covered with smooth resin. Those were nice cases, and to me, nicer than the Pro, or the style where the material is more a veneer/inlay for decorative purposes, like with most "wood" cases.
They only list the thickness and weight on their site, but email them and ask; it would also serve as a test of their responsiveness.
BF is month away, and if there is no hurry, I'd wait and purchase when the sales are in effect.
WOW, you have really bad luck for AIR cases!
I must say, that I'm fully satisfied with Arc Pulse. I only hope that this matte finish is same like on Lisa AlterEgo version for 16PM - no scratches after 3,5 months.
Now that I switched from the Ghost to the Apple silicone, the AS is a dream to hold, feels like butter in the hand, comfortable, thin and light weight.
Anyone tried the leather from Woolnut at all ?

Or shall I be the guinea pig ?
Looks like full protection on the bottom of the phone with big enough cutout for bigger than standard usb c plugs. Tempted to get one.

Lucky for me im based not in the US
I’m not sure luck has anything to do with it. I suspect the thin form factor of the Air has proven to be a major challenge for the designers at third party case manufacturers, none of whom had an actual phone to work with. If any of them bother to update their designs, I suspect the next iterations will mostly have these issues resolved.

Me too. He’s one of the only tech YouTubers who maintains independence from the manufacturers, which gives his reviews greater credibility. He’s also one of the only using a set of objective test criteria. Consequently, his reviews end up being much more valuable than those of the typical influencer.
I keep forgetting BF is coming up. I never participate so I always forget. I’ll email and ask them.
