Is anyone using the Apple silicone? That’s what mine’s been in since day one. I have the Apple black leather case and I can’t believe I spent $59 for it. It doesn’t seem any better than a $20 Amazon case. It’s just thin plastic with a thin layer of what I assume is leather. IMO, 100% not worth the price.
I got two Caudabe cases in the mail today. I have not opened the package. I am not sure which one I will keep, if I keep any at all. What I am looking for is a nice folio case that I can use when traveling. Something that can hold a card or two, an ID, and maybe a few bills. I have seen folio covers that attach to MagSafe cases and folios with cases. I am looking at the Nomad folio. I see good and bad reviews. Between the cost and having to pay for shipping, I might just be better off with one of the cheap cases off of Amazon. One thing that I do like about the Nomad is that is microfiber lined. It definitely wouldn’t see as much use as the Apple silicone. I am just looking to have a few different choices and there are SO MANY CHOICES.

Apple silicone is always my favorite. No case is perfect but for me this one makes me happy!! I got the pink color I love so much. I like it’s soft on the inside as well. My last case ended up scratching my buttons and I won’t be using cases that don’t have a soft liner in them.
I'm always on the lookout for a good quality leather folio case. I used to get the Twelve South BookBook but don't think they're worth it for the price. I'm in the UK and am thinking about this one; https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B5ZNWXJ5/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1AG0U7JEIYGVK&psc=1
They’re a small company. Decent cases with a good price.

Smartish makes everyday life a little easier with phone cases and stuff just clever enough to solve unexpected needs.
Their Gripzilla is the first case I’ve used on two consecutive phones without switching. I liked the Gripmunk more than the Sheath too.They’re a small company. Decent cases with a good price.

Question because I can’t tell from your picture or on nomads but are the buttons exposed or covered? Camera protected as well?
The buttons are exposed, so you use the original buttons on the phone. Camera is protected, and there is the tiniest bit of lip.
This is the only review I've been able to find:

Ordered an OB Symmetry last night only due to the Black Friday sale. We shall see how it goes when it arrives.
You hae the Gripzilla right? Was thinking to pick one up if they have a Cyber Monday sale.

Smartish has their cases on a Cyber Monday Deal with Amazon Prime.
Thanks! I have the silver phone (as I always do) and love the way yours looks. If I decide to get another case I may entertain this one. Thanks!!
I love apple cases they’re so clean
I haven’t had the defender. Though i did try the defender pro xt. Weight wise, they weren’t too far off.
Since I have apple care, I don’t need one of the bigger cases
I have the Pathfinder, it's my favourite.
Display is well protected with a good lip, the camera however is not so protected.
The lip is pretty level with the cameras, same as the official Apple cases actually.
Not a problem though if you attach the Ringke camera protector like I have.
$19.00 Fat Boys in from WallyWorld today. They are FAT and have the same fantastic grip as past Defender Pro cases. I did notice the outside silicone is much thinner and cheaper feeling this yearGot one Rain Check blue and one black. Used the black interior shell with the blue and I like it. Here are a couple pics:

I REALLY want an amethyst sheath but in Canada even with the sale it’s cost prohibitive.
