iPhone 17/e/Air/Pro/Pro Max Cases

[Hooterville]

Have had this one in my cart while debating on the canyon to go with it. Maybe looks a little bit less spray painted on the back than the original version?

Just dug out a picture of the first 2025 batch, not sure if there is any difference 😕

How do you compare it to other Caudabe? This year has been a huge disappointment imo for Caudabe.

IMO, it's the cheapest feeling of the Caudabe line up. I'll give it a run tomorrow and report back.

Curious how easily it will scratch

Just threw it on and the fit is tight and feels real good in the hand. The side grips are fantastic.
Can't find my ember buttons so I'm stuck with all black for now 🙁 Back feels like the old black Otterbox Symmetry cases. Just wish the fog was not along the edges.
Maybe my OCD is too high 😳

Okay, pics on green background and you can hardly notice the fog along the edges. All nitpicking aside, the black Synthesis is a really good case. It was one of my favorite cases from past iPhone's. Here are some quick pics on that green background:

You like the black over the frosted?

I probably need to grab one.

The frosted is also a fantastic case. The only problem I have with the frosted is the interior frost will come off along the bottom edge after installing and removing the phone a few times. I do like the black better myself.

The Beats Rugged really is a sleeper case. It was one of the first cases I bought for the phone and despite all the cases I have here now remains in my rotation, along with the Mous.

Another case that’s very similar to the Beats is the Bellroy Venture. Currently daily driving it and enjoying it a lot.

Also have to give kudos to the Bellroy support. Had a slightly defective Venture here at first and they immediately sent me a replacement with express shipping with no need to send the defective one back. 👍🏻

Gave one a try, solid case but too big, thick and heavy for me, 59 grams. Won't fit in my cup holder too lol.
Yes they do have good service.

Have tried 4 now. Sticking with my Bellroy Nightsky leather case. (The Goat) was last year too.

May have to go ahead on this one. Last debate is keeping frosted and the black synthesis or switching frosted for the abyss …

The blue on that one looks like a muted navy in some pictures and really bright royal blue in others.

The Black Synthesis looks identical to the Paragon/

Wrong

Definitely isnt

Do you have dreams about the sheath?

Yeah it’s a pretty chunky and heavy case. Something I did not expect, even after watching the reviews. I don’t mind it, personally. It feels really really protective and that’s something I prioritise this cycle. I guess adding this much weight to an already heavy PM is something to consider, though.

How would you rate the Bellroy leather cases in terms of protection?

Just chiming in on the Bellroy I was at Best Buy and got to feel one out in hand and it felt slippery to me in hand.

Also personally didn’t really like the TPU front to leather back combination.

 

[blaine07]

Personal unpopular opinion-I find Bellroy*, Moft and etc extremely slick to me. Synthetic leather?

Love the wallpaper!

I had contacted Moft‘s customer service 1 week ago - no response. I will never buy a case there again. And yes, the synthetic leather is slippery.

Sure, I have other colors if you need them?
Also attached the home screen below.

 

[Hooterville]

Here's the blue version, don't know how to get rid of those faint grid lines in the background.

Maybe one of our Photoshop experts here can remove them?

 

[Grayburn]

Thank you very much 🙌🏻

I am not a phone dropper, although have had one with the 17 max, fell straight down 2ft on timber floor, the non leather bottom helped I guess.
I used one for a year with my 16 pro too.
