Did you ever have the otterbox symmetry this year? That may be the last one I would try, the 16 and 15 versions were solid (even with the cutout on 16).

That half baked MagSafe gives me pause though.

fuhgeddaboudit, I tried the black one and it ripped up my $35. screen protector on all four corners the second I installed the phone and peeled up the edge of my rear camera plateau protector. Probably the crappest POS case I have ever seen. Avoid at all costs.

Not sure if other colors are any better or not.

I sent my TineeOwl case back. It was too bulky for me. I kept my Gripmunk smartish case which felt much thinner and a better feel in the hand overall. I give up trying cases when I know deep down inside, I’m not going to use them. I am using a silver bumper which is so thin, it feels like I’m not using a case at all.

10 pack of plateau protectors is a deal for only $7.99 ☺️ These are much thinner than the ones I'm using now and come with a ton of wipes, dust stickers and a little squeegee. Haven't tried one yet but they look really good.

It is a good deal, but I would only buy if you can’t tell it’s installed, like the clear ones I have installed from AliExpress.

I had the Cactus Symmetry for the Air. Worst case this year, by far. Terrible fit and extremely bad quality control. Don’t know if that translates to the standard Symmetry, but I’d be careful.

Thanks @Hooterville and @Zensō for saving me the hassle. Shame, symmetry used to be such a reliable case.

I do like the Techwoven but worry about the interior sides wearing down the finish on the sides of the phone 🤔

The interior sides of the TW have a fine sandpaper feel to them.

What does everyone think about this?
Maybe my OCD is too high?

I don’t think it’s an issue tbh. I used my techwoven for multiple months straight and the sides are perfectly fine.

I wondered the same thing at launch. Still not convinced that it won’t have long term effects on the aluminum finish. I will say the finish on the aluminum 15 Plus that my friend has abused over the last two years has held up better than previous versions so that gives me some hope.

Hi guys!
For my birthday, I received a Pitaka Moonrise case as a gift, but I already have one. Out of respect for the person who gave it to me, I did open the box. I’m checking here first before I list it on eBay! If anyone living in the UK wants a brand new Pitaka Moonrise (open box) for the iPhone 17 Pro for £30, please let me know !

Does your Gripmonk have the CC button? Is it an actual button or just one of those vinyl covers?

Back in the Mous Limitless today. And I have to say, even though it‘s not the most gorgeous or comfortable case out there, among the 20 cases I have now it’s the most well rounded one. Fits like a glove with no dust creeping in over time, no QC issues, no rattle or misalignment, protective and grippy with great buttons.
If they release the new version with camera plateau cover they are working on right now, it will be an instant buy.

Is this case the same material on the back as the Mous Limitless Marine?

Are they really making a new case with the camera plateau cover? Any link to this info?
