Picked up an Apple Umber leather case 14 PM deep purple, this is my first leather case, I really like the case and color, however I might end up returning it, as it feels like one drop will shatter the screen, Any leather case recommendations with decent drop protection?

Does the ink case look more navy blue to you in well-lit conditions??
Yep it looks more like a dark navy blue to me. It’s why I went for it vs midnight. There seems to be a subtle purple hint to it, but I need to see it in different lighting conditions to get a better idea.

Nice! I’m thinking about getting the ink case but only want it if it’s predominantly navy blue

I think you’ll like it. They should be out for display in stores staring today, so swing by an Apple Store if you’re near one to see irl.

Umber leather is the only Apple case I bought and I love it. The others are Sheaths in Steel Blue and Mountain Green here is Mountain Green

Man. This is gorgeous. I actually emailed Caudabe support to ask if I can exchange the black that I ordered for the Mountain Green. Then I am going to order a midnight Apple leather as well.

I ended up getting the Forest Green Apple leather case for my Silver 14 Pro, I love it. I'm going to want to change it up though and can't really splurge on more Apple cases, does anyone have recs for some less expensive alternatives? (Even better, if there are any commonly recommended AliExpress ones)

Got a midnight silicone case to hold me over til the Bullstrap comes in. As has been said, hoping it arrives sooner than later as I’m really not a fan of the darker silicone.

Apple Leather like last year. Used to buy Caudabe or Spigen but I like how taut the sides of the Apple Leather are. It’s also incredibly slim. I’m not into the patina concept so don’t really care much about that.

I got the ink apple leather to go with my deep purple 14 pro. My wife got the elderberry silicone and damn it looks so clean. I never cared for silicone but it looks amazing. I’m probably going to hold off for pitaka MagEZ pro 3

On the fence about this one. MagSafe strength is just ok. But it looks nice. Grip is just ok as well. We’ll see how it fares over the weekend. No issues with rattling or anything like that on mine.

Ordered the Spigen Mag Armor MagFit and the Apple Clear Case for my 14PM. Do not like the feel of the clear case, it’s going back. Spigen case is nice. Only bummer is it is black so harder to appreciate the Space Black phone.

I’m looking for a case with good protection, good grip and a slim profile. Saw that Cadaube sheet is recommended a lot. But this looks so thin? Can it withstand a drop? Mous also looks good. Maybe a bit slippery. Any other tips?

Got a leather apple case on my 12 now but that feels so thin. Want to have a bit more protection.

I think I saw someone else post it but yea, it’s such a bummer that the buttons on the Mous Limitless 5.0 rattle too much. That’s a bummer for sure. This dbrand Grip though has some excellent improvements.

It’s all about the sheath and next gen phone rebel for me. Sadly the Mous is going back. So much potential.

Dude, folks in here and more than aware of the Sheath. It’s probs the most popular case here.
