Still loving my Bellroy Black Stealth after a month, I usually have a apple leather and a nomad but won't bother this time, the Bellroy is $30AUD cheaper too.
First phone I have stuck to buying just one case it's that good, not a mark or scratch on it and grip is excellent.

I ordered a Lucid Clear case without MagSafe for my 14PM, and it shipped this morning. I have the Lucid Clear with MagSafe and it’s noticeably bulky and heavier than the Lucid Clear on my 12PM. Hopefully this one is following in the same footsteps as my 12PM.
I’m so tempted to try out this new Lucid Clear case without MagSafe. Do you know if it will work with wireless charging? Also in your experience do the Caudabe clear cases scratch easily or turn yellow over time?

Can you share any pics by chance?

I’m not sure if it’ll work with wireless charging. I’ll find out when it’s delivered on Monday. Caudate is the first and only case I’ve had that don’t turn yellow over time (I had one for my 12PM for 2 years). As for the scratching it didn’t scratch easily for me. My Lucid Clear with MagSafe did have the back get scratched and that was my fault for having my phone in the same pocket as my keys.

how strong is the magsafe? also how thin is it?
It's about the same thickness as Nomads, would be shorter though, bottom is softer, that is all I have to compare. I only use the magsafe with it on apple charger so havn't tried it on a car mount etc, seems same as the nomad. It's nicer to hold the leather wraps around the front a bit, buttons are excellent.
I can't fault it really.

What’s the slit under the Bellroy branding about? Is it just for looks, or does it serve a purpose?
You can get a magsafe wallet that clips in there. That could be the only neg, it doesn't worry me you don't even notice it, as everything else is excellent, might get the wallet later though.

Still loving this Catalyst Crux. Haven’t taken it off or even looked on Amazon for anything new since I got it.

Buttons are breaking in nicely. They started off stiff but not anymore, or I’m getting used to it. One or the other lol.

I’ve just received my Atom Studios split frosted clear case, and I must say initial impressions are good. Feels nice in hand, good quality, plenty of protection and lightweight.

I like the look of it. How is the grip?

Yeah grip is good, the sides are TPU/ rubber and the back is hard with the top part being a frosted finish so where your fingers sit when holding it you’ve got plenty of grip.

They’ve got silicone and aluminium cases too but I always hate the lint that silicone seems to collect in my pockets.
