Synthesis all the way. Great fit, great grip, and very strong magnets.

Just got in my Synthesis as well. I see why people rave about Caudabe cases. This is understated and slim while still providing protection, and the dots on the lower half add grip in a subtle but noticeable way, without being so over the top that it pulls my pants pocket inside out. The buttons are nice and tactile. The magnets on it are strong, and so are the magnets on this Popsocket grip, so it is genuinely tough to separate them. I absolutely understand the praise now. It just feels right in the hand without being over the top, and the little usability touches are just enough.
It will be interesting to compare this against the Andar when it arrives, hopefully tomorrow. Obviously different materials and use cases, but I assumed the Andar would be the slam dunk winner for my preference as a daily case, and now I'm not so sure!

The raptic is a great case, but tbh- the synthesis covers every base for me. Great fit, great grip, and offers decent protection.
This years version is different. Has “sheath-like” texture throughout- so it doesn’t seem likely to scratch.
I had the Elderberry and sent it back. Looks lovely and great fit. But wow it is a fingerprint and dust magnet. Shows up everything and feels "slimy" in the hand. That was my take after only 10 minutes on the phone. Switched to an Apple leather case and it's a night and day difference.
Same, wanted to keep the Elderberry cause I love the colour (wish they had that in leather or brought back Dark Cherry leather). I switched to the Ink leather case but the heart yearns for one of the aforementioned shades…
Same. I had the midnight case and it seemed to make my hands sweat. Not a fan at all but the wife has a pink pomelo silicone on her phone and just loves it.
I love that color, but I could only use black or clear. I can’t do “colors” personally. Also, I went through 3 symmetry’s and on the 3rd one, no sag at the bottom, I think the first batches of cases have the sag, but the other colors I saw at Best Buy, majority of them with no sag or very minimal that went away with the phone in the case.
Yea, I love these colors but end up never using them and just using black.
Those leather cases that shows the grain are one of a kind cases, rare find between Apple Leather cases, they should specify at the package that those are special that came from the ballsack leather of the bull
Just got Pitaka Magez Pro. Fit is much better than last year. Magnets are weaker though. But do the job. Buttons are not great but do the job as well.
So far I have the following
Sheath
Synthesis
Pitaka magez pro
Just waiting for the rebel cases to drop.

Just ordered one for 14pro….any chance for few photos
Really disappointing about the magnets and the buttons for the price Pitaka is charging for that case.
Anything thin and clear that's better than the Spigen Liquid Crystal? I'm pretty happy with it, but if there's something better I'd love to hear

Wow. The obsession is real.
(not directed at you, per se)... GETMO.
I ordered one quite similar to my iPad case; I love the look. I< charge with a cable so did not need a mag saLast year's thread for reference:
Which Case Did You Get For Your New iPhone 13/Mini/Pro/Max? [Merged]

Yeah I’m back on Casekoo. I got a Ringke clear to have ready when the phone arrived and the Ringke was scratched up within a day. Casekoo is doing great. I’ve got other cases but I like to use a ring on the back to help me hold the pro max size phone and so I get clear for that.
