yes. i am not using their case, although it’s very nice. i’m using a phone rebel flex case with the wallet. i also used for a day or so my apple leather case with the wallet. their ad pictures are accurate. the wallet holds the iphone tightly in the wallet and my magsafe kickstand holds tightly to the back.
What color wallet did you get for yourself?

Got my Ryan London leather;

Got mine!

Wow! What a case! The fit is superb, it was a little iffy around the bottom corners but once you force them around the corners of the phone, the do not budge.

The difference in the feel in holding and using the phone with a genuinely high quality leather over Apple’s is night and day. It feels like I’ve got a nice new 14 Pro. Where as my Ink case had developed the stickiness and wasn’t really that nice to hold.

I love the slight raises in the case around the buttons making them more flush with the case and they are really nice and clicky.

I just hope it’s okay on the pinky! Feels okay at the mo.

Pictured with my £6 eBay knockoff cherry wallet which by the way, is amazing in quality for the price! View attachment 2096929 View attachment 2096930 View attachment 2096931

This is the Benks aramid fibre case as recommended by TT. Very similar to Pitaka mag ez pro case. This has a better fit and MUCH better buttons. Also much stronger MagSafe. Also cheaper. Impressed.

Have two ordered, one from Apple and one from Verizon. I'll cancel out the one that ships last.

So far.................crickets :(

Verizon = 10/28
Apple = 11/04
Woah, when did you order them? I guess I really lucked out finding a local Pro Max to reserve in-store after I changed my mind about my smaller launch day Pro.

Can you guys recommend a case with absolutely no lip on the front? I'm looking for something that sits flush with the screen - I hate bumping against raised lips/edges and I will use tempered glass to protect the screen.

There is, but you must reach a certain level (post-wise) to access it:

Any spigen thin fit owners? How is it?

Really wish I could find some nicer coloured cases. I have a 14 plus and all the cases are dark blue, black etc.

I love the apple silicone case, the succulent. But I’m not paying £50 for a silicone case. And silicone tends to be a lint magnet.

Anyone seen any lighter coloured cases, that aren’t bulky etc?

currently using Spigen mag armor. i like how thin it is. the magnet is pretty weak thankfully it attaches well on my esr halolock car mount. there are times it is slippery. still searching for a thin protective magsafe black/smoked clear case.
the tech21 evo tint is thick for my taste. would like the case to be dimension like the spigen. is apple leather ok? can anyone recommend a case?
thank you
You might have a defective Mag Armor. This case has strong magnets.

Watch this reviewer swinging the iPhone around with this case attached to a MagSafe puck:


It looks like Moft has a case in Smoky Black similar to what you are looking for:

I agree, to each their own. I make no judgements. I just dont feel comfortable using cases with open sides. That’s my opinion.
All good sir. My mindset these days is that it just doesn’t pay to baby the device so you can sell it for the highest dollar after not seeing it for a year.

Trade-in values are high on these guys and you can go straight to the source for more often than not one of the better deals available. I don’t see the point in going private even if it means a couple hundred extra. Maybe I’m just lazy.

I like the look of the open bottom as well as how the thin strip of leather and the smooth steel feel on the pinky. By no means am I saying closed bottom cases are any worse; I used and enjoyed an Ink leather case from Apple until I got my R.London.

I ordered the same case. Are your volume buttons kind of wiggly? I find mine jiggling whenever I move the phone . I can live with it but a little annoying lol

Generally I’m a clear case user but got this hybrid one for my purple 14 Pro max and I’m loving the black and clear contrast.

ESR Classic Hybrid Magnetic Case... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B7BBS7D7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
How are you liking this one? I got a similar case from Spigen and LOVE the look of it but the fit is just so-so. It feels almost like it's too...shallow? Like the sides of the case aren't quite tall enough to wrap around the phone as they should. I don't know, just doesn't feel quite right. I had this one on my list, but don't have any MagSafe stuff at the moment, so figured the Spigen one had more or less the same look sans MagSafe, but now I'm thinking of sending it back and giving this one a try.

I've tried two Spigen cases so far.

First I got was the "Tough Armor". I like it okay. It feels really sturdy and well-made and the fit is excellent, no complaints there at all. BUT I don't particularly love the exposed/open cutout around the Apple; feels like a great spot for dust to work itself in and start making scratches. The kickstand is...kind of whatever. It's flimsy feeling and almost seems "slippery" in a weird way. I probably won't use a kickstand one way or the other but it's not much of a selling point for me. I got my phone in Deep Purple and kind of wish I got a case that showed the color more...

...so to that end I tried their "Ultra Hybrid". I got the non-magsafe version for now (I don't have any magsafe stuff yet) in Matte Black. It's a black frame and camera surround with a crystal clear back. Honestly I really, really LOVE the look of it with the purple phone BUT the fit doesn't feel great. It's like it's a bit too shallow and the sides aren't quite deep enough to wrap around the phone well and make it feel really "settled" into the case, if that makes sense. Going by the Amazon reviews I'm reading similar from some so I'm wondering if perhaps the QC just isn't the best. Really wanted to keep this one a lot as I totally fell in love with the aesthetic but the fit just isn't good enough for me to be comfortable with.

So I'm thinking of trying the ESR case in the above post which has a pretty similar look but also includes Magsafe.

I haven't perused the whole thread yet. Is anyone using the clear Otterbox Defender? I've only ever had two Defender cases. One was on my Galaxy S4 nearly 10 years ago. The rubber outer layer always seemed a bit loose and would want to pop/peel away from the plastic inner layer, just didn't ever seem quite right. The other was for my iPad and I got it probably ~5 years ago and it's been rock solid the whole time, no complaints. Seems like reviews are a bit mixed at the moment, but I might give it a shot.

I also have always thought they were super clunky and silly looking in the past but for some reason I'm kinda digging the look of the UAG cases on this phone.
