i’ve got a lot to share. been using my carved case mainly until
@Joe123Joe shared his thoughts on the crux case. been going back and forth between those two for about a week. on the crux i really like the stiff buttons. clicky buttons, i seem to hold too long and instead of sleeping my phone i bring up siri.
anyway, here’s a pic of my pitaka carbon fiber watch band:
like i mentioned i wanted something i could quickly attach and detach from the crux lanyard slot. last night i remembered i have a camera strap with a really fine pointed clasp. so today i ruined the strap and cut off one of the clasps.
kuvrd camera strap clasp:
it fits in the lanyard slot and detaches easily. it seems like it’s going to stretch the opening a tiny bit but not deform the case. i have a setup where i can attach the lanyard to a carabiner or to a little adapter i wear on a rope chain around my neck. i honestly never remove the rope necklace. been wearing it for a few years.
with that solved. the only thing that bothered me about the crux was the magsafe strength. a few months ago i bought a set of esr halo lock magsafe rings for a portable light setup that i use with a magsafe tripod. anyways i decided to try to put the extra one on the back of the crux case. the esr package comes with an install tool to get a perfect alignment. it works beautifully and seems to be securely affixed despite the textured back. i would say any magsafe accessory will work. the only accessory i have that is tough to please is my apple magsafe battery pack. it works on only some of my cases. anything thick and it won’t charge. well it works just fine with the crux & esr magsafe ring.
all in all, a productive day on the customization front.
