I agree! I’ve tried the Soft in prior years and it’s that typical, too-thick TPU or whatever. You and I seem to have similar tastes in cases, you might like this one. Imagine the Soft case but like 1/2 or 2/3 as thick. It’s also maybe a bit more firm, which is why they call this a Hard case I guess? I didn’t get the Caudabe Veil this year so I don’t know if they’re the same, but if you’re familiar with those this one would be juuust thicker, and a softer material. Every year I try *a lot* of cases until I settle on 1 or 2 I like, and in all that time I’ve never had one quite like this. If it weren’t for the Pitaka, which I also really like, this would definitely be the one.

Yes we do have similar tastes in case. I’m waiting for my Caudabe Lucid Clear case to see if I like it. I don’t like the MagSafe circle, but I’ll deal with it on the Lucid Clear case if I like the case.

I really like Apple cases, specially Silicone for the grip they provide, this year I'm very confused to what case I should get for my Silver Pro Max, I'm changing back and forth between Midnight and Elderberry, I like colors that contrast with the with camera bump... but really not sure which one I go, what do you guys suggest?

@VaderRulez - see you have an interest in the Otterbox Symmetry +. FWIW, I can highly recommend it. I bought it before I got my 14 PM as a temporary case before getting something "better", but I'm liking it a lot more than I expected. Excellent fit, no sag anywhere. The case sides are bevelled so the protection is great. No problems with my Spigen screen protector.

I find the grip excellent - better than the grip I had on my 12 PM with the old Symmetry.

I'm trying not to be a caseaholic, but have ordered a Dbrand and will buy the Phone Rebel Gen 4. If I don't like either I'll happily use the Symmetry for the foreseeable future. Hope this helps!

Stiff near the buttons, not so much near the port - appreciably stiffer by the speaker grilles. I never had a 13 (12, two years ago), so can't compare.

I’ve decided to stick with the Clear bumper, the Totallee Soft Clear Case, Apple Lilac Silicon case and the Caudabe Lucid Clear case (whenever it arrives) for the next year. I’m not going to buy anymore cases, unless it’s another clear bumper case as I know it will eventually turn yellow. It’s only $13.99 so that’s cheap.

I vote for Elderberry. But you should be careful, I read on this forum it shows fingerprints more.

Started with this case from ESR and it’s nice but too thick.

This one just arrived and it’s slightly thinner so I’ll try it for now. Feels nice and matte.

Posts like this keep putting me on the verge of grabbing an Apple leather case, but I'm going to wait for my Andar to arrive at the end of the week before making any other purchases.
Oh I love the look of Andar Moss but i have no patience waiting for it to be delivered all the way to UK.

FYI, they FedEx express to the UK. Takes two days.

Mine was dispatched Monday PM, UK time. Delivered this morning.

See this sounds good, but if it is saggy near the lightning port then I am out sadly.

@Hooterville I hear you bro. Is yours saggy in that area?

Just "Rent" one from Best Buy and see how it is.
The green one I received does look a little saggy by the charge port area, with no phone to test it's hard to tell.
I do love the Nike Volt Green color and feel of this case though.
