I spent ages searching for a case and ended up picking the nomad rugged leather case . Really like it , it’s got scratches and marks but it adds to the used feel of it . Still tempted by the apple saddle brown case though

So... interestingly enough I found the factory that produces the cases for Latercase...

I’ve got a couple samples on the way to me. Would anyone be interested in Blue Aramid or Red/Black Aramid fiber cases for the iPhone 12 Pro Max? Here are some pics provided to me of the samples before they were shipped... these should essentially be the same as the Pitaka Air case but with a different design around the camera (i prefer this style/look) so had them alter their normal offering.

pics aren’t the best but will post more when they arrive. I’ll also comment on fit and finish, but I expect them to be pretty good.

I'd be interested in the blue aramid case for my 12 PM, what's the pricing? Feel free to DM me.

My first pick would have been blue. But that is spoken for. If the red is still available let me know.

I think it would depend on how many i order, I believe the minimum is 50...probably would be like $40 each.

the all blue aramid (aka Willy Blue for the Latercase version) is literally non-existent on the internet, so I feel like this would be a unique offering. Also Latercase doesn’t offer the blue for the 12’s yet, and their cyber edition looks awful with the lens covering... not sure if I want to try selling cases again, sometimes you get stuck with them if there’s not enough interest.

I’m really just so sick of the plain black carbon fiber cases, but the thinness and feel of them keeps me coming back year after year... after trying 20 different cases hoping I’ll like one of them ?

Otterbox Aneu in today and I can't decide if I like this thing or not. :rolleyes: Right out of the box it has the Mous Banana Boat Bend and a little saggy bottom. The back is like a finer grit Symmetry texture. The rubber sides are pretty soft and extra gummy. Getting the phone into the case is kind of hard because of this gummy rubber. You have to fondle and finesse the rubber around the edges of the screen. The buttons are completely flush with the sides of the case and pretty much suck. The case has a good feel and grip because of these "Bumper Car" rubber edges. I do not find the rubber loose around the edges except for a slight sag over the charge port.
IMO, I would not rush out and purchase one of these. (Should have listened to AE14) :rolleyes:

To be clear, I’m not selling these... they are samples that I’ll end up keeping for myself. Trying to decide if I want to try selling cases again.

Your post made it sound like you were offering these up whether for sale or giveaway. Either way, does not matter.

Let me know how you like it?

Should I return to Otterbox or just cut my losses and dump it on eBay?

Not sure when mine will arrive. Monday maybe? I dunno may be worth a shot to return it. If it seems like a hassle then dump it on eBay.

Or you can get something like this for less than $20. Got mine today and the fit and finish is perfect.
