Take the camera protectors off.
You don’t need them. They’re stronger than the screen glass

Probably right, but it’s cheaper to replace a protector than the camera lens, or the edge of the lens can get damaged to, so this just gives it a bit more protection.

Ordered the Apple Silicone case. Never liked them in the past but willing to try again.
I returned the Spigen Nano Pop. I realized after using it for a while it was not the same as when it was a Caseology Nano Pop I had for my 13PM. I liked the rough side texture, but the buttons were not firm and the rest of the case was not a soft silicone like the previous version I had. Also, the area covering the plateau was cheap looking plastic.
I did pickup a dbrand Ghost today and so far it is not bad. I will probably change my mind once it starts collecting dust under the clear back though.

Apple really should add metal buttons to their silicone cases 
But you’re using a case which will protect them anyway. Remove them, you’ll be fine.
Wow, really like this. It’s a quality sideless case. Much better than cheap ones I’ve been buying on Amazon.
Almost a month on and still no return label or address from Arc for my pulse case despite chasing, really poor for a company selling premium products, would not recommend buying direct at all if you aren’t 100% sure. I’ve settled on a mix of the memumi thin case and the Apple silicon depending on what I’m doing!
I broke down and ordered a precise midnight Paragon for my 17 Pro. Def want the moonstone when it gets in stock.
Which color? The silicone case colors are so good this year, imo.
Mine has not really had much accumulate in the past couple weeks of using it.
I had it for my 14PM and the sides of the case peeled away. That was the last PR flex case I bought.
Got this cute lil fella today.
Damn, Blaine really stepping up his case game this year
This another AliExpress special?

Love this ^^
Side note: Aulumu is a chore to get off! Woah
Got my Dbrand grip in and on, not bothering with the back decal it’s slippery and cheap looking left it off all of my previous grips as well. Case fits perfect much better than the Spigen rugged I was using. Def a keeper until I can find a few others I want in my rotation.

Yes.
It’s not real Kevlar but a good 10 footer for the looks
Edit: case almost has a “rubberized” feeling to it; for being a few dollars it really does feel good in hand, too. Super light.
I just found this on AliExpress: $9.92 | Carbon Fiber Kevlar Pattern PC Case For iPhone 17 Air 16 Plus 15 14 13 12 Pro Max Shockproof Ultra Thin For Magsafe Magnet Cover

This is likely to be my new daily. Sorry, pics suck but the way it rolls sides up feels great in hand. Good cutout for charger. No pinky fatigue. Super hard to get odd. Obviously light and really only “bump duty” level of protection. Something about “holding phone” with bare sides is
(In first pic the flash and such is centered holding phone at slight angle created illusion it’s not)
Mine came in the usual green box from Amazon. Maybe that’s for hanging on retail pegboards in places like Best Buy.
