Seems like a love and hate with apples cases some people swear by them some people are not fond of them and they aren’t even in their top 10 lol
But you having ran through 18+ cases holds some weight. I’ll have to feel them in an Apple Store if they are on display. Never bothered looking. Have you dropped your phone in TW no damage? I’ve seen all the damage pictures and stories but tbh I drop my phone maybe twice every 6 months and it’s usually barely slipping out of my hand and babied to the floor. lol. I’m always super careful
Haha yeah I feel like people either love em or you don’t.
I think you’re thinking of @Zensō haha, the only cases I’ve had for the 17 series are the TW and silicone. But, to answer your question, I’ve dropped my phone twice in the TW and one of the drops was from shoulder height and both my phone and TW are still flawless! You should definitely give the TW a shot, I think you’d like it a lot!

I’ve dropped my phone from 4ft height onto concrete in a TW case. No damage to phone or the case.
It’s a lot more protective that people make it out to be.
What would you say is the best case that offers good protection, has a tight fit and feels nice in the hand?
I know many would say the Caudabe Sheath, but I am not a fan of the rough, sandpaper like feel.
Any others recommendations?

The sides are too loose sadly. It doesn't have a tight fit when watching reviews of the case. I have loose fitting cases/

The Phone Rebel is one of the tightest fitting cases on the market.
I agree, normally it is but check Tee's video.
The top of the case sags when you pull on it.

Mous limitless. Pricey for sure but excellent case imo
The Marine one? That's the only design I like but I wonder how it will hold up with the fabric material...

Caudabe Paragon. Definitely one of the tightest fit in the market and protective. I would also say it feels nice in the hand.
I had that case last year but I found the back slippery. It has a nice tight fit though.

It’s a shame he completely skipped over all of the cases with smaller USB openings. Some of us never use cables with our phones…

Im partial to the black leather, which has held up nicely for me

TineeOwl DuneX in Green in Denial color
+
Moft Movas in green color
First, I just wanted to compare those two cases and eventually return one of them.
Now I think I like both of them so much that returning is no more an option 😊
And no, that TineeOwl color is actually not that blue, it’s more like turquoise and it changes in different environment.
I love the color and this grippy texture.
On the other hand the case made by Moft fells really smooth and premium, almost leather like.
That’s why I just couldn’t resist both 😉

This makes me wish I didn't return my green Moft.

Yes, but!
I personally prefer that rattling than buttons being too stiff and sticking out of Moft’s case.

Only thing I don't like about the Nomad (and other cases (apart from blue)) is that it doesn't really go with the deep blue. That's why I always like the black/grey iPhone's. Fingers crossed we get one this year.

My favorite would be the Pitaka Moonrise followed by the RL (hope I’m right, I just can’t seem to remember which leather case that is lol)
