The feel of “wavy” aramid fiber is truly amazing. A bit anxious, though, because my screen protector sits above the screen lip. 😵
Also this thing is sooo tight 😵

What is everyone’s favorite case? I figured since this thread hasn’t been as active, we could share photos of our favorite case/combo.
I’ll start!
As most of you could probably guess, the Apple silicone in midnight takes the cake for me. I have the matching watch band for my watch as well so it feels like a cohesive set

Yes the woven fibers feel great in hand and they only achieve this significant bumpy feel through the ultra thin versions. The full coverage ones don’t feel as bumpy since the TPU shell softens them which imo makes the ultra thin’s fibers feel nicer in hand.
I totally get the anxious feeling especially if you’re used to thicker more protective cases. I got into these types of cases since last year with the 16PM and now I’m hooked. Also personally I don’t have an issue with being concerned as I am totally used to them.
Once you get through that transition and get used to it, you’ll get more confident with it and just really enjoy the phone experience more vs feeling a bulky case which imo ruins the experience. My personal opinion of course, I know around here that won’t be a popular opinion lol.

Yup! Love the TW a lot too but the midnight silicone is my winner. I’ve been waiting for Apple to bring back this case since the iPhone X days so glad it’s finally back.

Fit is excellent. And so far I am not noticing any fingerprinting. I also like that the camera ring is coated with some sort of epoxy or this rubber-feeling substance (or maybe it is just a sturdy plastic instead of metal). Now the ring shouldn't get scratched up. And yes, it shipped from HK on the 22nd and made it to me on the 31st. So not too bad on that front, either.

Before switching to iPhones in 2023, I’ve been using OnePlus 6T in thin aramid fiber case for 3.5 years straight. I had no other cases and without screen protectors, though, that phone was 3 times cheaper than current iPhone 😅. It held up really well.
I had one serious drop on the tile floor, it landed precisely on bottom right corner, part of the aramid fiber was scuffed but it “healed” and smoothed out after a month. No damage to the phone itself.

Oh ok well this is familiar territory for you then!

Very nice! I do wish they kept the “Pitaka” logo on the top corner side though which looks better imo like the Moonrise, Sunset, Milky Way etc…

Love it! Looking forward to your pics and report.

I predict a return lol. You didn’t like the case in general when you had the black one and returned that one, if I remember correctly. Maybe the color alone will make you like it this time? Lol

How’s smudges and lint on that case? Darker silicone cases usually tend to show them much more than bright colored ones.
Unfortunately smudges do show but I wipe my case down each day so it stays looking fresh/clean and doesn't bother me! Lint isn't much of an issue though. I've noticed with all my silicone cases that, after a couple weeks of use, the lint problem disappears

Okay, now how do I take that thing off my phone 😵

That was short lived lol
Phone down just grab the two top corners and push the phone down from the camera plateau and it’ll start coming off and just slide all off from there.

This one’s for @Hooterville. Back in the Nomad Rugged, which has been a favorite of mine for a few years now, and this year is no different. Very high quality case with excellent fit and finish. Of course it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you want/need a rugged case, this is one of the few that is minimalistic and isn’t horribly over-designed.
