Really? I may have to pick one up then lol. Where did you get the orange buttons from?IMO, it would be the Catalyst
They have them on Amazon also. There is a $4.00 coupon for them.

Wonder if either of these bad boys will yellow over time? Especially on the Otterbox. I have to say, I am torn.
I highly doubt that the catalyst would. It’s a frosted harder material than most clear cases I’ve had. Just be aware, you can’t use any skins or edge to edge protectors with the catalyst. Also, it has front firing speaker ports which I found were terrific.
Thanks for the information. Sounds like a nice touch with the speakers. Are you still using one?
Probably the best (silicone) combination with the SB.
I no longer game the case. I use a benks matte screen protector and it didn’t work with the case as it goes right to the edge. I swap cases a lot so I was ok letting it go. I’d highly recommend it though.

Your picture is really tempting me about Red Product Silicone Case for my 14 PM SB!!! Damn 🤑
The clear back Otterbox maybe, replacement from Verizon kind of has a yellowish tinge right out of the box
The Catalyst will not just don't order the clear Catalyst Influence. I had the clear one in the past and did not care for it. Give the two a rental from Amazon and see which you like best.
Ahahah nice coincidence 😂I feel you!
Fun fact: The Product(RED) case was in fact a gift to my wife!
My wife gifted me a baltic blue for my previous 12 mini for Christmas 2021 and now she wants to buy a new one for my new 14 PM 😝
Dang I’m sorry to recommend it and you had that experience with scratches and fingerprints. I mean mine shows fingerprints but I didn’t find them to be too too bad, and mine hasn’t scratched up yet.The side grip is excellent and the Magsafe is pretty good for such a fat boy. It hangs fine on my Magsafe charger on my desk, I would not count on it hanging strong in you vehicle only attached to a Magsafe mount.
The shiny back is a fingerprint magnet and it does get some scratches. Just don't look at it under LED lighting
New Case Alert: 🚨
UAG Pathfinder MagSafe - in Silver
I had this exact case and color way for my 13 PM last year and I feel like it looks even better with the black cameras on the 14 pro… the back of these do scratch and muck up pretty easily but I love the way this case feels in the hand, lightweight and no issues with grip, imo at least… it also has a very nice pronounced lip all the way around the screen. Packaging claims 18 feet of drop protection. I don’t mind a few dings and scratches on this case as opposed to others because it makes it look “rugged and military-like” lol. I will definitely be adding this into my rational of usual suspects.

No problem, the scratches only show under bright LED lighting.
Did you not like the all black Defender Pro XT?

No I do like it, but I have like 3-4 all black cases already so I opted to try a clear one, I didn’t really have any clear cases. But I thought about getting both 🙄 lol
Like the look,but the camera protection is not great, already sold mine.
Hmm, I find the camera protection to be on par with 99% of the other cases I’ve bought or seen for the 14 pro series
I just got a (black) Sheath delivered today and I’m really not sure what all the hype is? I mean it looks FINE. The size is FINE. The grip is FINE, maybe even a bit on the slippery side, though I know some cases get grippier with time so I’m not going to ding them for that yet.
Maybe it’s similar to when someone talks up a movie so much that when you see it, you enjoy it, but you’re also left thinking you could have waited to watch it from home?

Anyone had any luck ordering the free holster for the Defender XT pro?
I put in the code for the free holster on Otterbox.com and could see the order under my account but it just vanishes the very next day. I've tried 3 days straight with the same results Poop, I don't even want the holster but it's free

I bought one over the holidays and quickly returned it. Like you say, it was fine. Nothing special though. My phone is still in an Apple silicone case.
