Which do you think you'll stick with for the long run, Pitaka Pro or Mous Limitless 4?
I haven't taken off the Pitaka New MagEZ Case Pro for days...love that case. But I am very careful with my phones, and really don't need heavy duty protection. I think the Limitless 4.0 is a much tougher case than the Pitaka New MagEZ Case Pro...but I personally don't need that level of protection, and I love the feel of the Pitaka case.

Have they said when the Pro case is coming out?
 
Went with Apple Black Leather for my planned Graphite 13 Pro Max. I normally do Saddle Brown, but seems they’ve replaced it with Golden Brown and I fear it will show the dirt with too much contrast compared to the darker saddle.
the golden brown is the color of a ripe pumpkin. I ordered one and an returning it.

I'm asking my contact at Pitaka for an update, but the last I heard, I believe it was supposed to be available in late October...
OK, just heard back from Pitaka...they don't have any updates yet :-(

Bought the Apple Clear Case for my 13 mini. Like how it looks, feels nice in hand (personally don't find it as slippery as others have said), easy to clean, like the cutout at the bottom, and doesn't add too much bulk/weight. Buttons are very stiff though.

Was thinking about the Leather case but being easy to clean was my main concern, so went for the clear case as was told that one is fine to clean with disinfecting wipes.

Is yours loose on the bottom left of the case? I’m likely going to return mine because of this. Every time I touch the bottom left of the phone, I feel the phone shift. It drives me a bit insane. Maybe I’m just too anal.

Thank you for checking. It looks like a great case

I picked up the Apple silicon case (blue) for my blue 13 mini. It fits snugly and gives a good grip. I looked at both the Apple leather and clear cases. As a result of the many reports I have read about the declining quality of the leather and similar comments from the sales clerk, I did not choose that option. I will not be using Mag charging so I did not care for the look of the clear case. Strictly personal preference.
 
My Smartish Gripzilla came today and I'm overall happy with it.
VERY grippy, strong magsafe magnets.

The bottom cut outs are a little taller than I'd like but they are deep recessed so not a problem.

My native union sling and case arrived today. Been using a clear esr case and the first thing that struck me are there’s not as much lip to the sides, so it feels flatter, so dropping it face down might be a concern.
Other than that the sling “rope” feels nice and thick and all feels up to usual native union quality.

My case search continues...
I originally purchased the Caudabe Sheath, but couldn't handle the added thickness and weight.
I then purchased the Midnight Apple leather. The volume buttons were perfect, but the power button was mushy. I had to press it perfectly in the center and basically squeeze that side of the case. I exchanged it for a different one. This new one has mushy volume and power buttons; on top of that, all of the buttons are crooked. Instead of exchanging it again, I might just return it. I've already purchased the TORRAS Slim Fit from Amazon. I think some people on here have already used it with good reviews.
 
Two cases that I want to try out is the Otterbox Symmetry + and the ole classic Silicone case. I hate buying the apple cases because I feel there is so much out there better for the money.

Did you wind up getting your Pro? Did you go Gold again? I hear ya on the Apple cases. They actually aren't terrible cases but they are surely overpriced for what you get. But again, everything from Apple is that way so its sort of expected. That said, I am a fan of the leather cases from Apple as they seem to be my to go every year. While I try some others along the way, I always end up returning them and going back to the leather or at least have a rotation between leather and another like the Sheath or something along those lines.
 
Anyone got or tried the Nomad Sport? like the look of it, the black one reminds me of the Jet Black iPhone 7 but scared how it will hold up
 
You couldn't be more wrong. Apple cases (especially the leather) are actually far better than most other cases out there, plus they look better. You gotta pay to play.
Ehhh I don’t think I’m far from wrong at all. I could choose 5 other cases easily over the Apple cases. Trust me I don’t mind paying for cases and the best cases are the ones that cost a little more. Silicone case takes a drop or something and then boom it’s damaged. Other cases can take drops and you barely see drop damage. They are nice with all the colors but not durable at all. That’s just my opinion.

Got to agree with my man TechnicallyTee here…. I am looking at all cases apart from Apple after reports of them still popping off and the rubbery feel of the leather.

cant wait for my sheath to come in!

Yo Tee, loving your content man, I can’t join the Monday night chills as it is like 3/4am here in Europe but always catch them on the replay! Keep up the amazing work! And if you have any 13 mini cases you don’t need, hit me up happy to cover the cost of taking them off your hands haha

My man I appreciate that for sure and yeah I need to figure out a way to cater to both audiences because I hate you guys can’t tune in and def isn’t the first time I’ve heard that. Sorry man no mini cases of as of now but that might change if I decided to get the Mini!
Once again man thank you for the support!
