And if you buy direct from Spigen they’re $70.
Got a tip for us?

Feel like I'm running in reverse, had this case 6-7 months ago 🙄 can't beat it for $9.00 though.

Yeah, there’s always that weight versus protection trade-off. It’s actually lighter than many cases that provide similar protection. To get down below 40 grams you’re really looking at cases that may or may not prevent dents on these aluminum phones.
Spigen claims 26 drops at 4 feet with no damage, which is the standard MIL drop test. Hopefully that’s accurate.

Looks awesome, like a cleaner Phone Rebel. I love how comfortable it is in the hand, I’d say on par with the Apple Silicone. Whatever the price, for me it beats many of my cases in the $50 and above price range.

Yea in that ballpark weight and thickness wise I’m sure it’s pretty accurate. My TO is 43ish grams and I’ve dropped it a handful of times and have no damage at all.
Which of the Pitaka Edge colors do you guys think goes best with the Silver iPhone?

I've been a cheerleader for the Enzo for a while. Very nice feel in hand & sleek look. Really wish they did matching hardware colours for the orange but black is next best. I'd definitely get the silver hardware version if I had the silver 17Pro Max.
I honestly find the aramid hardly shows marks compared to other carbon fibre cases.
The reason I don't use it as my main is that I'm an insomniac and when I grab my phone from the charge stand and attach the Popsocket LP, it's hard not to make a clack noise that can wake my wife.
One of the reasons I use the Sheath or Tank mainly as I can attach it silently.
What an obscure factor in choosing a case. 😄

YMW Crazy Horse leather and Retro Cowhide for the AirPods 😍
Yea I had narrowed it down kinda between the 2 darker blue cases. The Moonrise does look clean with Silver I may roll with that one.

I’ve had YMW cases in my cart for about a year now 😂 still very tempted but the jungle of different cases is confusing and I’m worried about import charges…

It's a major Grease Pit and I wash my hands at least 5 times a day or more. This is the reason I returned it last time when I paid $39.99 for it. After a day of use, I'm ready to break out my pressure washer and give it a blast.

Hardly get any marks on it and I wash my hands at least ten times during the day.
I do have dry hands though, maybe more so than most.
