Bellroy isn’t mentioned much in here not a lot of coverage of their cases. I picked up a 14 pro Mod case which I have to say is the best case I’ve had for this iPhone generation.

so bit of background I have tried the Apple Leather case but the Corners popping off is something I can’t deal with, the Mous cases which are okay but I had issues with rattling buttons and the thickness of the case made it bulky, also had the Nomad leather case which I did like but I have a bit of an obsession with trying to keep my case looking new and the leather on that case was little smooth for my liking. And in between all that I’ve tried cases from Spigen,UAG,Caseology and more but couldn’t stick with any of them.

that brings me onto the Bellroy, it’s perfect
fitment is snug no sagging and no movement on the sides when pulling at them.
buttons are better than an Apple leather case in terms of clickiness I can’t tell if they are metal or just really solid plastic either way they work
MagSafe is strong enough probably average in all the cases which is fine
the leather on the back is the real selling point for me they also sell smooth leather but the case I got is almost pebbled it has small flecks of grey in the black which breaks up the colour and the texture is coarse similar to car seats perhaps it wears really well I’ve had it for a month and it still looks brand new.
I work in an industrial environment so get lots of dirt and metal shavings near my phones and this case is aging perfectly.
not dropped it yet but protection wise it has a micro fibre lining, okay camera and lip protection I’d say slightly better than the nomad but nowhere near mous.

When I'm sitting around bored I love to swap cases around. I have 2 different phones and watches and a bunch different cases/bands for each. I keep about 80% of the cases/bands that I purchase.

Somebody's got the keep this thread alive :D

Here's the Apple orange leather:

Nice bro. I still have not put mine on yet lol. Been busy. I don't think I will need to add a picture as yours blow away everyone else's. Looks stunning and am now excited to try mine out.

Thanks for posting this. I have been thinking about picking up a Bellroy. Have used them on Pixels in the past. Cheers!

What camera protector is this? Is that just frame or there is also additional glass cover over camera lenses?

Does anyone remember “U” by UAG mouve case for the iPhone 12 Pro/pro max? That was one of my all time favorite cases… the back was matte but it was like a dot matrix on the back exterior instead of inside like most do it. So it didn’t show ANYTHING. It was basically a much better version of the Plyo. Wish I could find something just like it for my 14 pro!

i received the flex frosted a few days ago and have been using it since i got it. imo looks great although not as good as the gen 4 frosted. i really like the feel of the sides of the iPhone. i actually tried to install the side protectors but gave up after ruining two of them and wasting an hour of my time. i don’t know how anyone can place them on correctly. anyways, my catalyst and otterbox def xt are sitting right here on my desk wondering when their turn is coming up.

I have the same case but in clear. I love it and installed a cheap clear side skin I got from AliExpress, which was definitely easier than the ones that came with the case.

The frosted back in your picture makes the Deep Purple color look like Space Black with the exception of the camera lens ;)
