You think so? I guess i could live without the extra slope action on the side lol. But I’m going to check it out in person, sometimes things are better in person. Just wish they sold it thru Amazon… Amazon is so easy to buy and return lol.
Got a tip for us?

Caudabe Sheath VS Ringke Onyx. IMO the Ringke Onyx blows the Sheath away in every category. The Onyx is smaller, lighter, better grip, better fit, better feel in the hand, better buttons ETC. Also, the finish does not wear down and show lint and crap on the back like the Sheath does. It also only cost $11.00 compared to $36.00 for the Sheath. The only plus for the Sheath is the built in MagSafe. Now, the Onyx will charge just fine on a MagSafe charger laying horizonal on its back. It just won't hang off any vertical MagSafe chargers. After 2 days in the Sheath, I'm right back in the Onyx

Can I please see the onyx with the phone in it?
Not the best pics but I just got this case yesterday based on suggestion from here. Love how thin it feels in the middle where you hold it and the metal buttons! Well worth the 11 bucks!

Picked it up based on Hooterville’s recommendation… he’s been suggesting this case forever! Ringke should give him a cut of the profits! It’s an all around great case
Fark that looks good. Sold. Thanks Buddy. If it had MagSafe would have been perfect.
Decided to get a Caseology Parallax, i liked the feel of the case. So i got one! (Ignore the date in the second picture, i snapped the photos about a week ago.)

The Magsafe versions of UAG cases are ugly tbh
Except the Metropolis LT (non folio) for the 13 Pro, this one actually looks nice.............
Not sure how thick it is though, I know it's not as bulky as the Monarch, but still.
I had a Plasma case on my Galaxy S8 but it was still comfortable because of the narrow shape of that phone; got a Plasma and Pathfinder for my 11 Pro and it wasn't as comfortable because of the wider form factor, and the 13 Pro is slightly bigger than the 11 Pro so....

What’s up anyone that’s still here… I was just thinking, what does everyone do with cases for their phone when they upgrade?? I didn’t upgrade to the 14 pro max this year but I’m just thinking when it’s time that I do, I’m going to have a boat load of cases left from my iPhone 13 Pro Max… any ideas on what you guys do with them? Thanks!
I try selling them on websites like Marketplace, Kijiji/Craig’s list or giving them away. I still have my iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 Pro Max cases that I’m stuck with
I will take a 13 PM case of you want to give any away to a good homeI try selling them on websites like Marketplace, Kijiji/Craig’s list or giving them away. I still have my iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 Pro Max cases that I’m stuck with
I have no problem doing that. I have the apple leather golden brown, never used. I should have returned it but it’s been much too long now. Idk how I would get it to you though lol
Sure! If you don’t mind a Pink Silicone and/or a Lavender Leather and you cover shipping from Canada, they’re yours!
So I've had the Midnight leather case for a few months now
Dropped the phone 3 times
The first 2 times from hip height; no damage to either the phone or the case, and the phone didn't pop out of the case
2 days ago, I dropped it from my couch, no damage, but the phone slightly popped off 2 corners, like 2 mm.
Has never popped off before or while taking phone out my jean pockets.
Weird
Now I'm worried about future drops lol, I love the fit of the case but I might have to start looking for anther brand, as long as it's not thicker than the Apple leather case

Don't think apples leather cases are meant to be taken on and off much, here's my 12 month old midnight, I don't swap a lot maybe once a month, back to my black nomad now lol.
I got the Apple Silicone for a 13 mini but regret it. It’s a dust magnet and feels slippery.
Yikes
I've had mine for a few months
I take it on and off maybe once or twice a week, just to admire the phone lol; so far no crack
But I can see how it can happen as the Apple leather case seems to bend backwards a little when I take it off
Ok, I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that. 😁 I take my leather...or especially my clear case case off probably once a week to remove any dust, particles that get inside the case...and then I look at the naked phone and ...wow!
Then a microfiber cloth to shine up the camera area of the phone...in between the lenses. polish up the stainless steel sides. And...um, back in the case it goes.
I have a BOX filled with cases from 6 Plus up to iPhone 12. I tried selling a few, even unopen ones on Ebay with no luck (never been great on selling items on that darn site).
Even a mint condition Bullstrap 12 Pro Max leather case for $50, no takers. So..that one just sits. May sound stupid...I'm at the point where I may try to make the camera hole larger to fit my current 13PM. (Don't think it should be THAT hard) Just have to enlarge that up a few MM on the right and bottom. Still up in the air about that though.
Well here in Australia a good leather case new for say $90, used probs only going to get about $20-$30
I did the same for a year and no issues till now, was a freebie from Apple anyway so no loss.
