Hey @Hooterville i like the family photo! Everyone looks so grown! Are you still rocking the Crux? I’m going on like 3-4 weeks of not taking it off my phone… I usually swap cases around every other day lol.

What case is on everyone’s phone at the moment? Like I said above, I’m still hooked on this Catalyst Crux

I’ve been back and forth between the Caseology Parallax MagSafe

The Apple Iris Silicon case

And the Caudabe Lucid Clear with MagSafe

I do have the Caudabe Lucid Clear without MagSafe, but haven’t opened it yet. I can’t use the Apple Silicon at work because of how hard it is to put the phone in my pocket and to take it out. I use either Caseology or Caudabe Lucid Clear at work.

How are those? I have seen them on YouTube etc but never owned one myself.
I can post some pics later but I really like it. The finish is smooth but not slippery. Doesn't scratch and I don't see fingerprints. Feels unlike any of my other cases. It's sneaky thick. Feels slim, looks slim but must be thicker due to the opening. They sell a finger ring that fits in the ql opening and lays in just under the back. Meaning you don't have to remove it to use other magsafe items. I keep my wallet attached with the ring underneath. Magsafe is really strong. Although it's only the ring, no alignment magnet. I have a mount on my bike and a tripod. Apple magsafe battery doesn't work on it, even with ring removed. Anker battery pack apparently does work. Buttons similar to catalyst crux. Symmetrical speaker openings. Good camera protection. I guess just a style decision, the camera protection walls are not all the way around. I'll post a few pics later.

I've left behind the fancy leather cases from Vaja that I've had on many phones and moved to the simple sturdy
OtterBox Symmetry Case with MagSafe. But I've really stopped trying to make a statement or be fashionable with my phone.

Can you confirm are the sides and top and bottom nice and firm ? Or does it Sag have pull .. also does this case leave any smudges , like the Apple silicon does ?
Thanks
the case is very firm, no sag at all. i am not seeing any smudges but i have to say my hands are really dry all the time. the case is not silicone. i don’t know how many types of plastics exist, i have a ton of cases, this feels unlike any i have. kinda similar to my otterbox symmetry grip, although the otterbox scratches just by looking at it. the quadlock doesn’t seem to scratch at all.

I’m still in this Catalyst case but I saw this and figured I’d share in case anyone wants to give it a try for research purposes lol…

It’s on my doorstep and I’m stuck at work for another seven hours. Maybe I’ll take a drive on my next break.

How easy does that camera protector come off? Kinda wanna see it with the bare lenses.
It's all your fault I'm back in this case :rolleyes::rolleyes:

That camera protector pops off real easy when you drop the phone but I don't want to peel if off just for a picture. Let me look though my old pics and see if I have one.

Please let us know how you like the case after you get it.

Just jumped back into the Rebel Frosted for the day :oops:

Damn, the buttons are sweet on this thing.

I’ve been in my Rebel frosted case for a while now, except I have the orange ultra buttons on. I keep struggling between the red and the orange buttons, but they both look great. Knock wood. I haven’t dropped my phone yet with this case on.
