So in other news, what case would be a winner for the 14 PM?

Otterbox Symmetry
Caudabe Synthesis
Mous
I love the Mous Bamboo (with tight buttons) been using it since I got the phone.
I returned the Apple Orange Leather and lime green Symmetry after seeing how they discolor and turn crappy after minimal use. The Symmetry is a fine case, and I will purchase it again in black someday in the near future.

Waiting for my Caudabe order to show up in a couple of days.

Hi all I’m looking to get slimmer case like pitaka magez 3, does anyone use a skin on the exposed areas of the phone with the case on or does the phone hold up well without it ?
I’ve been using the Apple leather and already two of them have a weird sticky feel…and my Apple clear case started to feel loose so want to try something else .
phone rebel flex maybe? it also comes with protectors for the exposed portions

Looks like the Phone Rebel Flex for the iPhone 14 Pro just went in stock on Amazon.

I am going to order and try it out. Haven’t had a case with sides open in a long time, if ever. I thought the black gen4 was a little too bulky for my liking so I’m returning that.

Same here, no hurry for a Caudabe discount code (before Black Friday), but if anyone else has a 35% off code they’re not using, I’m interested in a PM too please 😬
Wait, those exist? I was just about to place an order. If anyone has one it would be appreciated. Apple silicone die hard, but finally taking the plunge on a sheath.

it’s my favorite case after trying many others. i like seeing the metal sides of my phone. i’m really careful with it so not worried about scratches. can set it down anywhere face up or down and feel protected in a drop. the best two benefits for me are i can easily wipe dust off the screen with the open sides and i can easily grab the phone one handed from a table and grip firmly one handed. maybe i have small hands, but with most cases i can’t do that with the pro max.

the only other case i’m going to try is the dbrand grip. i ordered it about a month ago. from a review i saw (@TechnicallyTee) it seems like the magsafe is weak again this year. i will try it out though. really like the look of it.
 
I received my Apple Leather Forest Green case yesterday. It's not my first Apple Leather case so I kind of knew what to expect.

But I was surprised with the buttons - they seem to be very resistant to pressure. I have to apply a lot of force for example on the on-off button. I don't remember my other Apple Leather cases (on other iPhones) being like that.

I wonder if this is normal or not? what do other owners of the Leather case think?

hard to describe but I know when a power/volume button is hard to press. in my case (midnight) buttons are easy to press. just a little presseure needed. they are just not thay clicky like the Benks kevlar case.

No excessive pressure necessary on mine
 
Ringke Fusion matte smoked + ESR halolock ring combo. the case has a bit less width compared to 13PM.
