If I had to choose one it would easily be the Spigen.

I’ve been using the Moft in Black as well. I love it!
Great fit, great feel in hand, looks premium, light weight (33g), nice aluminum buttons. Never had my eye on it but now glad I have it. A sleeper imo!

It’s been a pleasant surprise for me too. The fit is top notch, has a good hand feel, and is protective enough for me, specifically since I have AC

In fairness, and not in defense of Pitaka, but that’s actually a $70 Spigen. 😊

So true, I never even knew the Urban existed until I saw the Verizon sale.

I happened to run across it way back when the phones were released, but the price tag seemed crazy so I never followed up. At $7 there’s not going to be a better deal this year IMO.
BTW - All this talk about the Moft prompted me to order one. I have a Misty Cove (white) for the Air arriving tomorrow morning. 😊 I figured if I’m going to get a white case, vegan leather is probably the best material.

Nice, the case really is a sleeper like JBlass421 says. It really surprised me.
They use it in apple stores
lol just watched in Aus, maybe if I could understand the singing may have been able to get the Geist of it haha

That Spigen is surprisingly heavy for not being that bulky. It’s the same on the Air. The back is very stiff, so probably pretty protective, but 53 grams (46 for the Air) is excessive. That’s Rebel territory.

iPhone Air just spotted in the new Pringles commercial 😉

I took the dive and snagged a brand new one for my PM on ebay for 15 bucks. The guy was local. Last case purchase for me tho.

Interesting I watched a few videos for the Moft (17 Pro Max) and in two different videos I saw it weigh at 33 grams.
I haven’t personally weighed it but it feels nice and light for sure! I gave up the Paragon for its weight, I couldn’t stand the 50g weight anymore. Especially after being used to 20g Ultra Slims.

I agree, Moft does feel good in hand and at that fire sail price it’s hard to not like it!

No idea why their CC area is so ass… honestly a joke to charge $80 for this they shouldnt even be selling them until they fix this issue

Idk. I used the Utraguard for 3 full months.
Fit is great. CC button works perfect. Only looks greasy if I handle it after eating greasy food. Didn’t notice any wonky edges near the buttons.
It was just too smooth and slippery and I ended up dropping the phone a couple times.

Looking nothing like Caudabe 😂Temu be sailing Caudabe now I guess?
This is a trial version as well. Using it on and off to see if it patinas as expected.
Spoke to them this morning and was advised they are still in the early stages hence I've removed the post for now.
Will put the post aback up again once offered to wider audience.
But yes that leather is extremely good quality and I think people will love it.
I'll definitely be buying both Dark Brown and Tan colour once available to purchase.
p.s might post a sneaky pic later to show off Cosmic Orange and Dark Brown combo.
