Got the standard reply from caudabe over the magnets on the synthesis. Have asked if I can exchange for a sheath.

Anyone who says they don’t get lint pick up is lying to themselves

Yea I find it funny when people swear oh mine doesn’t pick up lint!

Returned my clay silicone as well, I absolutely love the color! My favorite color for Apple silicone cases ever honestly. But I can’t deal with the lint, there are so many other great cases to choose from that aren’t lint magnets lol and for way less than $50.

Seriously? We’re arguing about something that’s been the overwhelming consensus in every tech community? FineWoven is bad by most standards. You can like it but that doesn’t change the reality of my experience as well as hundreds of others. Using your logic then means saying “it’s fine because I don’t have an issue with it in my limited use” is stupid because there are hundreds of others who have. Let’s not act like petulant children. This is a forum after all where people share their experience/feedback. Neither you or I get to decide that one person’s is is more important than anither’s.

While you make some valid points, MANY people were bashing the case before they even used it and lots of people came to speculative conclusions about how it would look like crap after 2 weeks without ever seeing one in person, let alone using it.

My Fine Woven case looks fine after 1 week. I guess I only have 1 week left before it looks like trash.

Review of Pitaka StarPeak both versions. They both look stunning. Mine has shipped from China but stuck at “shipping information received” :(

Is anyone getting theirs soon?
My tracking says the exact same thing. I honestly think it’s moving and the tracking is just way behind or something

There are always objective and subjective aspects to most items. And not everyone values the same characteristics, since we don’t all love the same things and work in the same conditions. There seems to be a consensus that long term durability will leave something to be desired based on the materials used. But to each their own.

Damn I absolutely love this case!

Frosted back (less finger prints than clear)

Perfect blue to complement the blue phone and allowing the color to really shine!

Metal buttons that are super clicky (reminds me Apple’s Leather case or now FineWoven metal buttons) and nice shade of blue that again complements the phone so well and the little touch of orange in the action button looks great!


Perfect cutouts for the speakers on the bottom and comfortable on the pinky

It has MagSafe and it is a perfect blue that blends right in (instead of standout white)

Not bulky at all

Super comfortable in hand and nice soft feel and not super slippery like most clear cases

Very nice fit as well, looks really premium



That's just like the case I got with the difference being that the camera bump on mine is body colored instead of black:

Those of you who ordered Andar cases for the 15 Pro/Max and have already received them; they have redesigned the cases with an action button instead of a cutout, and are offering a 50% discount + free shipping if you order a replacement case. You should get a discount code sent to your email.

EDIT: they are showing November delivery for the redesigned cases; they had the cutout cases available as soon as the Pro went on sale and have quit selling those.
Anyone have a discount code for the site? I suppose the 50% discount is individualized to previous orders and can only be used once - correct? I'll be getting the white iP15 Pro and having trouble deciding between the white and red Andar. Those have always been my go-to colors in the past. I'm giving leather a try for the first time this year. I'm typically an Apple silicone white/red or Ringke/Spigen clear/frosted user. I settled on the clay silicone and the Meifigno Magic Mag in grey as my temporary options. Hopefully a Product Red Apple silicone or (hopefully) white silicone will eventually come out so I can remain in my comfort zone.

I have that same case currently on my 15 Pro Max only until my Pitaka case arrives. I hate it honestly because glossy clear cases always look so smudgy on the back from finger prints. Otherwise it’s a good case
Mines been ok. I guess maybe where I slide it in and out of my pocket it gets a little buff up every time 😉

Slightly better quality pics of the Dbrand Grip I posted earlier. Only slightly better, much rosé imbibed. And Johnny Black. Not a wise combination.

A keeper, love it. Not as boxy as it looks. Not bothering with a skin either, I don't spend any time looking at the back of my device. Still think Dbrand are being cheap by not installing the skins themselves, but meh.

I know. That's what I hate about glossy clear cases. They get smudgy from fingerprints and then the whole thing just starts to feel grimy as well from the hand oils. I much prefer textured cases

Ok, here are the requested photos of the Spigen Enzo Aramid & next to the Benks Armor Pro for comparison.

It’s a little heavier than the Benks and the USB-C cut out is a little bigger, but it’s comfier on the pinky due to the more rounded side to back edges. Looks better too IMO.

Should have mine next week. Nice looking case.

Is there any lining on the inside of the metal buttons?
