Looks really good man! Did you order from them direct or from Amazon?

Are those iCarez easy to put on? I always suck at putting these things on so I never do lol.

I ordered from Amazon. IMO the iCarez are the best screen protectors. I've been using them for years. They come with an alignment tray so you easily can get the protector on perfect every time. Plus you get 3 for Like $8.99

Maybe my new favorite case ;)

Got the ESR cloud soft halo lock yesterday.

Already on its way back. Way too bulky and wet bar of soap slippy.

May try to Spigen silicone fit next.

I should just buy the apple silicone and be done but I genuinely can’t bring myself to pay £50 for a silicone case.

Most of the other apple silicone cases are £30 on Amazon uk but the blue never dips below £50 ??

Would you like a 10% off (weblink) from Apple?

What do you think about the Mous one? Thickness, gripness?
Click to expand...
Here is my review I posted on Amazon:

Mous after all these years has never figured out how to add any grip to these cases. This case is as slippery as a wet bar of soap. The case fits nice and tight, looks good and that's about it. The lip for the rear camera protector is only a tiny bit higher than the actual camera. The aramid fiber backing is a major fingerprint, grease, smudge magnet and will look crappy within 5 minutes of using the case. The buttons have slits that let in dirt and dust on both sides. Also has symmetrical cutouts for the asymmetrical phone. This case is pretty to look at but not very practical for everyday use. I have a glass camera protector on the back for added safety. 3 out of 5 stars from me.

It's a beautiful case but real slippery.

Here is a pic showing the orange lanyard that comes with the Cayalyst button set. It's kind of all kinked up from being stored in the flat package with the buttons. I won't be using the lanyard.

You had said the magnets are pretty strong. Are they close to the Mous magnet strength? My Pitaka has great magnets and the only one that is stronger was my Phone Rebel for my 12. I like the Catalyst and am debating on getting it or the Phone Rebel Gen3 if it ever comes out

The Gripzilla case came with only one lanyard attachment, at the bottom right corner - useless to me as I hold the phone in my left hand and the lanyard would be interfering with my finger in the lower molded finger grip.
As most people probably hold their phone with their left hand and tap with their right (or am I wrong about that?), this seems like a bad choice for where to put the lanyard attachment holes.
Nice that the Catalyst case has lanyard attachment holes on all four corners - lots of options (I like options!).
Otherwise, I'm very happy :D with the Gripzilla!

IMO the magnets on the Vibe case are just as strong as the ones on the Mous case. I'm also getting the Gen 3 Rebel if the guy ever brings it to market.

Catalyst also sells their CRUX accessories for these cases. Bunch of attachments and accessories for the corners.
I never bought any but they are interesting.

Starting to be Pitaka addict :)).
Air case is really nice. It lacks MagSafe, but for Magsafe charger works and its light a tiny. I love it!
I have also Pitaka folio for iPad and waiting for MagEZ2 for iPad.

i have the phone rebel flex series and the magnets are stronger then my two pitaka cases so if thats any early indication of how gen 3 is going to be then they should be great. also in his latest video he said to expect gen 3 in late jan or early feb

SPECK IS BACK IN THE GAME!

just got this beauty. Fit is perfect and I mean better than Sheath fit if that is possible. Grips are really good so far and much better than the plastic ones. They have sort of gone back to the old design with rubber side grips. I used to love grip cases back in the day. Slight niggle is MagSafe isn’t as strong as I would like but fine with mag wallet etc. so far so good.

Well the love affair is now over. The case creaks when you press the corners! And fingerprint magnet! What’s a shame. Sheath back on
