it seems like the clear cases ive tried on mine change the shade of my Purple PM and makes it look grey/lighter in some lighting. Anyone have any success with a certain clear case?

Yeah that’s what I do on those really tough cases. Feels weird to be pushing on the camera but it is like you pop it out by pushing there.

I don’t blame you! There’s a reason I steer clear of certain brands because without fail they are too tight and a pain to remove.
Thanks a lot.
I actually bought cases from several brands. Mostly from Zagg, but also some other high quality brands.
Have to admit that I tried your trick though, and that was "the tip of the year"! Thanks so much!

Now the only remaining "problem" is to get the phone 100% into the case ☺️

How do you like the Torras Diamond Clear case? Mine is coming tomorrow.
It's really nice as far as color matching and feel in the hand but it's even more fingerprint magnet-y than the M k e k e case. It also wobbles when the phone is on a flat surface and the M k e k e case does not.

Just got the Caseology Parallax in Burgundy today and I love it, Had a Caseology case on my 13 Pro as well so just went with them again.

Just put on a LK screen glass protector as well which comes with a application box thing and it couldn’t have been easier said it had auto dust removal and didn’t know what it would be like but it went on without any dust at all after application. Tried the camera lens protector it came with but didn’t like it so took that off.

Check the clarity of that screen protector. Mine and others had a grainy effect, probably the adhesive.
Had to remove and went with Spigen.

can anyone compare the Caudabe sheath to an Apple leather case for the iPhone 14? Have always had Apple leather cases in the past, this time I tried the Caudabe sheath. I like it but it feels more slippery on the sides than I ever remember my leather case being? Anyone else? And which one has a slimmer profile, Sheath or Apple leather? Thanks,

Anyone have the Andar leather yet? Care to post any images? How does it compare to Apple’s in terms of fit and bulk?

I love my ink case but the inevitable premature wear (let’s be honest, it’s not patina when it comes to apple cases) is playing on my mind - considering returning

Can anyone recommend a slim case with a kickstand and magsafe? I have the black ESR case but it is not magsafe compatible.

How about an in-between solution by using a sleeve? Pretty good protection especially with a felt lined sleeve when taking the phone out of your pocket. It would be a bit of a hassle since it takes an extra step to use. Not ideal if you're one that reaches for your phone often.
The magsafe sleeve for the 12 pro was on sale for $30, for the 12Mini $15!
No such option for the 14Pro in my country. But yeah, I’d like a microfibre lined sleeve for sure.

Apple cases are worth it tho! That silicone feels buttery smooth, and it has the colorful MagSafe pop up when you put the case on. Plus it has the apple logo!!!
All 4 of my apple cases stopped giving the animation within 6 months of ownership.

My Torras Diamond Clear Case and Simtech Ultra Clear cases arrived today and they’re going right back. They both are thicker than the soft Totallee case they let me keep for free. I might as well keep the Totallee cases. I have this Ringke and Casekoo clear cases coming tomorrow and we’ll see what I think of them.

I love that case and the color. It was a great case when I had it before I got my 12 Pro Max. I’m thinking of buying that case and this Caseology case.

That’s the case I had for the 13 Pro but in navy, it was a great case but it did show fingerprints etc badly, This New Parallax one doesn’t seem to.

Can you post some pics of the case on the phone? I’m eyeing up the blue one

I’m using the casekoo case right, almost the same as the Torras one, but it has micro dots on the backside and is SLIGHTLY thinner.

I finally got my Caudabe Synthesis for the iPhone 14 PM today and this new updated version is outstanding. It’s minimalistic yet modern and it feels INCREDIBLE to hold. The new grip on the side is really awesome stuff. The pictures don’t do it justice!

The Synthesis really looks great, could you tell us it's weight?
One comment mentions the Sheath for 14 PM weights 51g, would be nice to see the comparison.

There's a few photos of the iPhone 14 Aspen in the Leather Patina Proud thread.

Closed bottom, accurate cutouts, more front lip than the Apple leather case, and if it's the same as previous years will have high quality full grain aniline dyed leather that smells awesome and patinas evenly.

Andar seems to have really nailed the leather case this year.

Exactly the same, mine is in the box going back. It will look horrible when the corners and sides inevitably go black. Not good considering the cost.

Not my photos as I don’t have another camera to take pics with but here’s some from the Amazon reviews.
