I’m going to add some more color to this thread. I just got the lime green OtterBox Symmetry for my pro max. I love neon colors, added my neon pink MagSafe PopSocket. I also got a couple other OtterBox cases. The Otter+Pop in purple and Defender XT in lavender and clear. Not too impressed with the case-mate twinkle diamond case. The MagSafe ring isn’t strong enough and I feel like my phone is going to drop on my face when using it in bed with a MagSafe PopSocket. Right now I’d have to say the symmetry is my favorite. The new design is sleek.

Nice! Is there a lot of sag near the lightning port with these?

Apple leather cases are that different ? Exchanged an Ink for Midnight case and the Midnight case was a pain to put on the phone needed a lot of pressure at the bottom to push inside .. Ink was so easy to put and remove
They’re not *supposed* to be, but you hear quite a few folks saying how their leather cases pop right off, whereas others (like mine) are really snug. Seems to be quite a bit of manufacturing variance in the leather cases this year, which you wouldn’t expect from official Apple products

That green is pretty cool. Do you have an Apple Watch? That case would go nicely with the Nike Volt green color

This is exactly why I’m not getting an Apple leather case for my 14 pro max. Got one for my 12 pro max and the bottom corners would pop off so easily. When the phone would drop it would pop out of the case. Horrible protection and honestly grip wasn’t great compared to the sheath. Looked amazing though

Rebel ordered for funzies.
Now back to my Mous news. So 14 pro Aramid came in the other day with no rattles with the phone in. It also had a small imperfection in the fibers…no big deal if it wasn’t $65. Had Amazon send a Walnut. Walnut buttons rattle and the sides feel different from the Atamid. More stiff on the walnut. Also the back edge corners are sharp on the walnut and smooth on the Aramid.
Mous cases are on sale today and tomorrow for Prime sales.

Finally got my Caudabe Sheath today ….and big disappointment
right side (power button side) is not hugging iPhone… there is even popping sound… not sure it is right way to describe it but you can hear it from short video below…..you can almost use it to sent Morse code massages

I liked but didn’t love my Flex for the 12PM. Didn’t intend on trying the Flex but I couldn’t resist. Got a Rebel and a Flex coming.

Let me know how you like the Flex once you get it. I still may pick one up at a later date. Thanks.

What's the production code on the new walnut?

That's my Nike Volt Green and I love it. Is the rubber saggy at all by the charge port on this green symmetry?

mine I got last week is rock solid

must've gotten a new batch one

--

how often do you think one should take the case off to prevent grit build up? Will it loosen the case (for people who have had sheath for 1+ year on previous models)

Never experienced it loosening up even after multiple times being put on and off for the yearly cycle of my Sheaths
