Unfortunately not sure how to get them. The iPhone is my only camera.

Yea I agree. The TW is not known to be a drop protective case period end of story.
If you’re not worried about drops then it’s a good case.

Will AC cover a dent? I was told dents are considered “cosmetic damage”, so not covered.

I dont think this has ever been a "fanatic" thing saying the problem with damaged phones in TW cases is a fault of the user.
Everyone has different experiences, some have dropped several times in a TW case and have been absolutely fine, myself included (I suspect your post is probably directed this way as I've plugged this a few times on here now) and some have had damage after one drop.
If you want true "drop protection" then you have to run a super chunky protective case on these super soft phones which for a lot of people are ugly, weighty and take away any form of form factor of the phone. Some people just do not want this would rather a case that will provide some level of protection of which the TW is a good option. It doesn't not protect the phone at all.
Whats the beats rugged like in terms of weight/feel?
It looks pretty nice but its a bit of a rip off

I got the Benks Armor Tint yesterday and it feels good to be back in a thinny thin!

Benks needs to get on board with covering the CC like Pitaka for the next phone. Personally after experiencing one less cutout on the thinny thin I can’t go back to that extra cutout.

Yeah and it’s irritating to hold sometimes.

Ooh look what you made me do. Look what you made me do.
Well not covered but only paying $99 instead of more.
Now I’m trying to decide between Phone Rebel Gen 7, Caudabe Sheath or Mous Limitless.

Can’t go wrong with either. Though I personally would not buy the PR7 again. The paint started chipping off the metal parts after about just a week on mine. It’s otherwise a pretty cool case, with unclear drop protection. That being said, I’d always buy the Mous and Sheath again.

Some have different wants. You want a case for looks good and protects against dings and bumps, then the TW is it. However if you want a case for minimal drop protection I wouldn’t choose the TW.

Bellroy Venture in today. Overall seems like a fantastic case, but it is a little bit slippery. I do have a clear camera plateau protector on so the cameras may be a little more recessed than normal. Fit is tight, buttons are excellent and feels like a premium case. Keeping the ole case thread alive 🤪

Told ya so 😋 Enjoy! It gets less slippery over time. And the grooves all around the case help with the grip, as the fingers always find something to anchor to. But I have the Pro version of course, so overall a smaller case to juggle.

Yes. It’s like a cross between the Dbrand tank and the Beats Rugged. 😅 But with this case I feel like I could throw the phone across the room and it would be fine.

This looks good. It’s a little hard to tell in your photo, does it have a decent screen lip, say similar to the BR?

Step aside Beats Rugged, the OG Rugged GOAT is back in town 😎
Nomad Rugged
My ultra orange one sprouted legs and I can't find it, so I got the black version.

Not quite the BR kind of wall, but decent enough even with a screen protector.
