Yeah, it’s a nice looking case if you don’t mind it looking hella greezy and smudgey at all times… I can’t deal with that, especially at that price point.
This case has the worst fingerprint problem of any case I've ever used.
Even with super clean/dry hands the back looks like I just finished off a 10-piece bucket of greasy KFC 🤢🤢

so i got delivery of this case from Benks on AliExpress


i think I've found what I've been looking for; its a thin PP case like from Peel or Slim Case, which I've had on my phones since the XS but it also has a pretty strong magsafe magnet to hold my phone.

That case sounds very promising. What’s your opinion after several days of using it? How’s the MagSafe? Two reviews on AliExpress mention that it’s too weak. The buttons?
The cutouts for flash and LiDAR have empty space between them and the case?
Also, do we know the weight?

Right?! It’s a shame because if they could figure how to coat it like Phone Rebel did this year then it would prob never leave my phone.

I had the Sheath delivered a couple of days ago. I loved it for the 13PM but I feel like it feels “sharper” if you will for the 14 pro… maybe it needs to “break in” but the texture feels sharper. So I ordered the synthesis and that was supposed to arrive Saturday but it just says delayed on FedEx tracking. I think the bad weather on Friday messed it up…. So much for paying for that expedited shipping lol. Any feedback on the Synthsis? People like that one or the Sheath better?

Wife got me an iPhone case for Christmas, literally the best I’ve ever used! Current stable beforehand was apple leather, Pitaka, dbrand grip, phone rebel…

It’s actually real leather, no bill, magsafe, brass buttons with perfect feel, feels honestly incredible on the phone!

I do like the midnight but I wish they still offered a real black like they did 12 series and later
I had that for my 12. I don’t see too much a difference but I know what you’re talking about- I do feel like these cases have more leather to them? Maybe it’s just me. I love the contrast with my silver phone tho. Can’t really see any hint of anything else when you have a light phone.

Just got a black iPhone 14 Pro last week.

Currently rocking a Sucullent and a Storm Blue Apple cases.

Leather wise from Apple I’m torn between the dark brown and forest green colors for the black iPhone. Does anyone have any pictures of this combination?

Yeah I have the space black so it’s easy to tell. For me the buttons are so obvly some type of blue. But it’s still a nice looking case and I will continue to rock it but I wish they made an official apple black one to add to my rotation! Lol…. I told myself I’m not going to go crazy buying cases this year and so far I’m off to terrible start ! Lol

Here is the Space Black with the Umber leather case.
It’s a very nice combo!

Spend enough time here and you’ll get both the brown and green leather cases! :p
