The Popsocket is a year old, I have two of them and both are my cats. the ginger is Schrödinger, and the grey is Isaac Mewton. I really like the custom creator for Popsocket. They stick strong to the MagSafe, you have to really shake it around to get it to let go. I went naked on my Sierra Blue with the Popsocket too and never had an issue. Don’t mind the dirt on the top right side lol. Apparently at some point today I got lip balm on the phone. I blame the painkillers

My hubby snapped a quick pic for me - I’m pretty dopey for oral surgery this morning.

You can do a custom case too, either with Popsocket or I want to say Casetify? It’s a mosaic and you choose all the photos.

I’m tempted except I always end up caseless at some point. Lol. But I always use the Popsocket because of some nerve issues I’m having so that made more sense.

You are making me want to go caseless now lol. But I dunno. I think I would have to have a skin at least lol.

Anyone try the Tech 21 FlexQuartz or Evo Crystal? Tech21 surprisingly doesn't get a lot of love here.

I tried the Mous Limitless 5.0 again and I'm convinced that it's popular because they pay big commissions for anyone with a discount code.

Yessir, I tried the evo crystal… it was a good case. I sent it back because I was going a bit to case happy on Amazon at that time. Wish I had more pictures to share with you but I have this one.

I just took a look at at Best Buy and it looks and feels solid but that lack of a lip…that’s a concern for me. Could have been a winner!

i got today the element case special ops. i really like it. i think it looks good and i find it really comfortable to hold. not super grippy but placing my fingers where the grooves are at feels secure. kinda like a spider-man look. i’ll try to post some photos tomorrow.

How is the camera protection this year? I remember last years version for the 13 PM had absolutely zero camera ring. The cameras were protruding out past the back of the case.

Anyone recommend a really thin case that covers the buttons and has MagSafe.

There’s loads of ultra thin cases but they all leave the buttons uncovered and I want full coverage.

good camera protection. just as much as say the phone rebel gen 4. it has the ring plus the four corner raised protectors. when you place the phone on a table only the four corners touch. i really like it. the back being clear plastic gets kinda sticky if my hands aren't too dry and makes it really nice to hold in my hand. different from the frosted back types. it does get finger prints that wipe off easily. very strong MagSafe magnets.

Just received the Black Leather Limitless 5.0 so far I’m really liking it. Same great fit and feel as the Aramid but without the oily fingerprints. More grippy. Overall love it. I have a quick pic for now but maybe later I can do my best Hooterville impression and get some better pics of it.. 😃
