In my opinion Beats Rugged is the best underrated case this year. I keep going back to my Orange one again and again.
If they price it right they will sell loads.

100% agree. Excellent protection, great feel and buttons, perfect fit, really clean look.

So I just got my Pitaka Ultra slim case today. The lightweight and barely there feel is freaking night and dayl from the TineeOwl. I love that about it. Unfortunately though I think it may be going back. Idk if it’s just mine or my fingers are sensitive but along the edges it’s so sharp. If it was a bit more rounded off it’d literally be perfect. I don’t think I can do these sharp edges.
Back to my heavy ass TO and don’t know where to go from here. lol

You might give yourself a day or two to adjust the way you hold the case. Also, I can’t recall, did you end up with the 600D version (black/gray)? If so, it’s sharper on the edges than the 1500D versions (colored patterns).

I just have some random brand battery case.
And it still feels like I'm having to plug my phone in constantly.

Yea maybe I’ll give it a couple days. I do rest my right fingers along the edges quite a bit. I did get the 600D. I preferred the all black. The Ultra Guard while slightly heavier could be perfect for me and shouldn’t have any sharp edges as it’s TPU. That and the ArmorPro are probably my only options. Everything else is just too heavy for my liking.

I’ve had fit issues with Benks too. The usual types of QC issues: inconsistent tightness around the edges, sloppy fit at the port and camera control, rattling buttons, etc. As Sal said, you may end up having to order multiple copies to get a clean one.

Did a thing and bought the iPhone Air again as it was massively discounted in Costco. Lucky I got a few iPhone Air cases that didn’t sell when I sold my original launch day iPhone Air. Do I go back to the Air from my beloved 17 Pro …..
What do you guys do with all your old cases when you change models? I may have a surplus of 15PM cases….

I either donate them if they still look good, or keep them if I keep my old iPhone
If the case looks gross and the iPhone gets traded in, I recycle those cases too

Except my Anker cords won’t fit otherwise would be right there with my Sheath.

Those cords are going to be nothing but trouble over their lifespan. Personally, I’d swap them for cables that fit Apple’s cases so you’re not limited to which cases you can use by poorly designed cables. That’s assuming you’re interested in using a wide variety of cases…
