Which Case Did You Get For Your New iPhone 13/Mini/Pro/Max? [Merged]

[BrianSoCal]

It’s a pro and a con for the case. The material is purposefully designed to not be tacky. It’s meant to have grip from only the texture, which means it doesn’t attract lint or stick to your pocket.

The biggest downside to the grip design is that it’s harder to hold with dry and cold hands. I’m warmer climates, it works spectacularly.

If it worked with my Flolab Edge to Edge, I’d never take it off sadly it doesn’t so in the drawer it sits.

Still using my Rebel gen 3. That said- starting to look at D Brand Grip. Just curious about the MagSafe strength.

Did you get your new replacement buttons yet?

 

[Brooke795]

Picked this up. I tend to switch between bullstrap and carved. Tried to resist but ultimately lost that battle.

I guess I could make it my summer case and look for one that works during the other seasons. Living in Puget Sound area of WA state with its cooler marine climate. I’ve not had issues with cases sticking in my pocket or attracting lint. What cases are you referring to? Perhaps I should look at them.

Got the Phone Rebel frosted in black trim yesterday. I'm thoroughly impressed with the fitment anf feel of the case. Really is premium. Daily driver for awhile! Now if he could just get them out on time I'd be a regular customer.

Any photos you’d be willing to share? I’ve had a couple frosted cases over the years and have always really liked them.

I didn’t. My buttons are totally fine. No complaints

I will. Just need to use another phone for the photos

Nomad is my favorite case out of the 10ish I have tried. It’s just rugged enough that I don’t have to worry about occasional drops/bumps and somehow remains slim.

I actually just recently realized that this is the Modern leather case and the last one I had tried was the Rugged case on my 12 Pro. The improvements are massive; the fit and finish are perfect and the buttons are up there with the best of the best.

The leather feels more amazing than the day I got it and whatever material they used on the sides feels just as nice. My usage has increased recently because I’m constantly picking it up and it’s showing on my battery health.

Hoping this will be a little incentive to keep the 13 Pro a little longer.

After using a dbrand skin for the last few months, I've decided to put my phone back in a case. I've dropped my phone twice with the dbrand skin on and fortunately nothing happened to my phone (just the screen protector cracking). However, it made me realize that I need better protection because I might not be so lucky next time. I put my phone back in the Spigen Thin Fit, but I miss the feel of leather. In terms of size and weight, how would you compare this to the Apple Leather Case? I have an Apple Leather Case still in the box because the power button is not responsive at all (I've tried three different Apple Leather Cases, too). I'm trying to avoid anything thicker, wider, and heavier than the Spigen Thin Fit.

I’ll do some comparison photos when I get home from work later tonight. It feels better in every way even if it is a smidge bigger.

If I ordered the Rebel Gen 3 on 5 April it will come with the new buttons ???

Have you tried the push trick? Go from inside of the case and moderately push outwards on the button and hold that position for like 10 seconds. Then push the button on the outside like normal and hold it for another 10 seconds, and repeat the process. Should loosen up the button/leather enough where it begins to act normally.

I have both, the nomad is a few mm taller, width and thickness the same, buttons are better than my apple midnight case, and it's not sticky.
Also the nomad lip is even all the way around, apples are never even.

Case of the year imo too. Tempted to get the brown too.

Thanks, I'll try this out tomorrow.

Still rocking the fat boy. It's been a little over a week for me.

Is this still a joke around here?

Spigen VIP support did end up getting back to me today. Turns out their hours are Monday through Friday. Not sure how I feel about that.

That said, they are sending out another Enzo and made no mention of sending back the first. They also said the buttons are designed to free float but shouldn’t make any noise when on the phone so hopefully the replacement will be better. If not, I’ll happily send both back.
