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

My Anker cord doesn’t fit in Beats Rugged port. Going back.

Taarget has Low-Pro in store if anyone needs to sample one.

Target had this and a lime green one I couldn’t find on sail. All other colors $27.99. It’s the 4 that’s MagSafe only. I don’t like purple but for $11.99.

Left is OhSnap. Right is thin PopSocket.

(This is OhSnap 4, the SLIGHTLY THINNGER and stronger MagSafe than 5 that doesn’t use tape to assist in hold)

My last post; I’m a idiot and had to go back:

Apparently I had to adopt silver too.

Thank you AE14

Okay I lied, I did ONE more thing today. Feels way better in hand than I expected and relatively light considering how hefty it appears to the eye!

Change the cable because cable is the problem not the case.

@blaine07 Which do you prefer, the PopSocket LP or the Oh Snap?

I love the PS LP, I use it all the time. The stand is great when at my desk.


If the Oh Snap is even better though........

That's my only gripe with those cases. They look gorgeous though.

They’re beautiful and feel great. The problem is they easily pop off on the corners, so don’t provide adequate protection in a face down drop. Plus, they start shedding chunks after a few drops. My wife can destroy one in short order. (Not my photo.)

Holy crap, I didn't know they fell apart like that! I have been looking around for an Elderberry case for my iPhone 14 PM, but this is making me second-guess my purchase...

They only do that if you’re a habitual phone dropper. If you don’t regularly drop your phone it’s unlikely to be an issue. It’s just something to be aware of.

They even do that when not dropped. My purple fog silicone case for the 17 Pro started chipping just two weeks in with very careful use.
I have so many chipped silicone cases here from past generations.. none of them were dropped.

Interesting! I didn’t know that. Thanks!

Ughhh tough question. I really feel like I like the OhSnap better; around fingers it’s…less scratchy and “wider” where fingers go around it? BUT the PopSocket LP has the stand... If you can reasonably test a OhSnap I absolutely would; it’ll be very subjective though so I don’t want to “lie” to you.

Love the Apple silicone! Nice combo. From my experience, the lint collection stops after a bit of usage.

Offering a counterpoint, I’ve had the silicone cases for every iPhone and the only one of mine that chipped was from a bad drop. The others are in excellent condition.

Side question Sunday: why can’t Torras just sail the cases without the kickstand I don’t want. Their cases really do look quite nice… if they didn’t have kickstand lol. (I think their prices are a little out of line too but…)

Yeah, I agree. Offer with or without kickstand, $10 off without.

I 100% would’ve tried their cases if it weren’t for the kickstand. It’s weird that they don’t offer any of their cases with just MagSafe and no kickstand.

OhSnap(top pic) has the “double scissor” mechanism; the PopSocket LP(bottom pic) has the single.

Considering series 18 will follow the same design language as the current one and you're upgrading in two months: which cases are you going to buy again for your next iPhone?

I'm not upgrading until next year September, but the cases I will most likely buy again are: Casetify Impact, Caudabe Paragon, Beats Rugged, dbrand Tank. And maybe another Mous Limitless.

(I should add: I have tried over 35 cases for the 17 Pro in the past 10 months 😬)

Caudabe Paragon, Suit phoneback (after a couple months), Spigen Ultra Hybrid Magfit Direct Digital, and maybe an Apple Silicom depending on what colors they release.

 

[Momof2.1107]

That's because you have a Pro Max. It IS a brick. Mine's the svelte Pro. 😆

Come on now. The Pro Max isn’t that much bigger than the Pro 🤣🤣
