Where can I find a good looking Apple watch case?

[Konenine76]

I have been all the way looking for a fine finishing apple watch case. Better with Stainless Steel or Titanium material. I would rather pay for the case than purchase a Stainless Steel version of apple watch.

good looking watch cases dont exist imo. just use it without worrying about little dings and scratches. way more enjoyable that way.

I'd have to agree - unlike many smart watches, the Apple Watch doesn't look bad at all after sustained naked use.
I can only think of a couple of cases that are good-looking but they completely change the watch altogether - making it more like a Casio G-Shock

I find two cases. Both are from Kickstarter. Horologic5 was in 2016 and Kraftek is now up and running.
Does it a good choice to back the Kraftek Octa? Price is on the high side.

Hey, if you like it then go for it. Those prices for the cases seem rather extreme to me.. Are you against the SS for some reason? I think it would make more sense to just get the SS and AC+ instead of paying $200+ for a case. If you prefer that setup though then all the power to you.

Oh dear. Don't do it. Those are:
1. Expensive as hell.
2. Bloody ugly.
3. Not improving the Apple Watch experience: the screen will be recessed.

Horrible, horrible cases. I must agree with bbednarz: buy the Stainless Steel Watch, get Apple Care+ and buy yourself some Cape Cod polish in case you want to polish the metal.

I think these look nice but haven’t bought one because I have the first version of the Apple Watch. I’ve had the watch since about 1 year after they were available, black aluminum, and it has absolutely zero scratches on it and I haven’t pampered it at all.

Hi, honestly speaking, Kraftek one looks quite nice to me. It really hurts if you break this lovely product. In the past, I broke my Apple Watch Series 1 so SS + AC+ is not good for me.

why not? That's what the AC+ is for.

This is just a personal preference. Want a good looking case for my Apple Watch.
