Just noticed there was one of these Alto caramel leather cases available so I snagged the last one. Still not sure about this color but I’m at least going to try the fit. May return it and wait for the gray to come back in stock.

Amazon just delivered my blue Totallee Thin case for my 15PM Blue Titanium and it’s amazing! It’s SUPER thin and feels like I have no case on the phone at all. So obviously it’s not good for drops/impact but it’s good scratch protection if you are like me afraid to go caseless, lol. Also, all the cutouts are extremely precise!

Also got in the $9.99 black Meifigno case. It's a fantastic case with only one con. There is no padding on the inside of the metal buttons :confused: the backs are smooth finished metal but the inside edges are sharp. Might get the Torras case to compare the two. Love the stealthy look of this combo but a little worried about the buttons. Couple pics:

Get the leather version. It is also sharp on the back corners because the carbon fiber isn’t thick enough. Leather solves that unless your pinky doesn’t like the corners. Then they all do that

I also have the Mous carbon fiber case (15PM). While there is definitely an edge to the back corners, I don't find them to be sharp or uncomfortable.

Pitaka MagEZ Pro 4. I usually don’t get the pro versions of this case, but I wanted something with a little more protection for outdoor activities. So far, I really like it. It feels very good in the hand and only adds a little heft. The buttons are really nice, and the case just looks premium.

Looks awesome! The inside won’t scratch the buttons it’s not that concerning in my opinion and highly doubt it would scratch. The black on black is super clean!

Comparing it to the Torras would be interesting, the Torras is definitely more expensive. Value wise this one is hard to beat.

I noticed you have that usb-c plug, do you not use the port much? Just thinking how inconvenient it would be for me to keep removing that.

Love the look of this case and was debating between Pitaka and the Benks Armor Pro for a carbon fiber case.

The only thing that bugs me about the Pitaka is that the metal buttons don’t have any padding on the inside so they have the potential to scratch the phone. Might be a nonissue though.

I use MagSafe 99% of the time and keep the butt plug in ;)
I don't think the buttons would scratch the phone either but they are very sharp if you run your finger over them on the inside.

It's ok until you run your finger over them on the inside and feel how sharp the edges are.
I need to find me some nice soft button cover stickers as this seems to be a trend with a lot of cases.

I have only 2 Symmetry cases with Magsafe. Otterbox has really slimmed up and improved the Symmetry this year, it was one of my favorite cases from last year. I have the all black and purchased the RealTree version just so I can put those orange buttons into my black version. I love this case.

Can't decide if I'm sick of that camera protector or not?
What you guys think? Better looking without protector?

Yea, I was not feeling the Ringke protector this year at all. The Ringke also has a sloppy fit. Had plenty of movement when installing it. Had to shift it side to side before sticking it down.

The 2 for $9.99 fit perfect like last years Ringke and are of better quality. Don't buy the Ringke as it sucks this year.
Sending back to Amazon for $13.

The case feels great except for the sharp edges of the inside buttons.
Keep in mind my OCD is off the charts and not that of a normal person :oops:

So I was skeptical about the peel super thin case with MagSafe based on the price but I actually like it. Its not super thin like the typical peel but it is the thinnest I have seen with MagSafe. If you can, wait for a sale.

Isn't it one of those thin rubbery cases? I hate the Peel cases in general, never tried the MagSafe version though.
