I’ve tried 3 different ones and finally found one I’m happy with. (For my 15 Pro Max, but they have all of these for the 15 Pro too)

First was the Mothca Matte Glass. I love the fit (case friendly), but it ended up making the display a little too grainy for my tastes. But my wife has one on her 15 Pro and loves it, so YMMV.

Mothca Matte Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 15 Pro (6.1 inch) Anti-Glare & Anti-Fingerprint Tempered Glass Clear Film, [Easy Installation Frame] Case Friendly, Bubble Free - Smooth as Silk https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDLQX5YX?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_NEH1MR4R8DQN79BAXCYN

Next up was the Benks Anti-glare. Doesn’t make the screen grainy and fit is outstanding. But 2 things…first, it’s not the most case-friendly as it’s pretty much edge-to-edge, but it did work with my Caudabe Sheath. However, if I pressed the top of the case down, it would start to lift. But that’s because of issue #2. For some reason, Benks thought it was a good idea to put a little bump out that goes OVER the top speaker. They say it’s to keep dust out, but it makes the protector less case friendly and it blocks the sound. I tested it and sure enough, you can barely hear anything coming out of the top speaker. If they remove that little bump out, I’d get them again.

BENKS [2 Pack] Anti-Glare Matte Screen Protector Compatible for iPhone 15 Pro (2023,6.1”), 9H Full Coverage Tempered Film for Gamming[Ultra-Thin][Ultra-Smooth][Anti-Fingerprint][Bubble Free] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDV4SF7S?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_TA908CZ7XYD11A2KF6DG

So I went searching for recommendations on YouTube and came across the Ambison Matte Glass and for me they’re perfect. The clarity of the Benks with the fit of the Mothca. Nice and friendly to cases, too. I can’t recommend them enough. I’m really, really happy with them.

Ambison [2 Pack Matte Glass Screen Protector Designed for iPhone 15 Pro, Install Frame/Bubble Free/Anti-Glare&Fingerprint/Smooth as Silk, 9H Tempered Glass compatible with iPhone 15 Pro 2023 6.1inch https://www.amazon.com/Ambison-iPhone-15-Fingerprint-6-1inch/dp/B0CCJCRV2T

Wow thanks for that info, really appreciate it. Can’t seem to find the Ambison one here in the UK but will keep searching.

Yea, I did not even notice that. Looks like the aramid fiber is not laying flat in that corner.
Heading to Amazon for an exchange.

So is the fiber on the Spigen actually a CF skin like DBrand sells? Spigen just puts a CF skin on the case?

Spigen ENZO coming in HOTT :oops: This just might be my new favorite case of the day. This case is nice. The fit, feel and construction are top notch IMO. The sides are kind of a firm rubbery TPU, aluminum buttons are fantastic, very clicky with a nice soft padding on the insides. The inside back has a nice soft felt like lining and the MagSafe is STRONG ! This case is extremely TIGHT to get on the phone but what a nice snug fit once it's on. The aluminum logo on the back is recessed into the case and is nice and flush along the back. Best $35. case I've ever bought. Here are some pics:

As said earlier, i have a black Otterbox Symmetry and a Dbrand Grip, and that will do this year. But.....

That sunstone Otterbox lured me in. If I have to have a colourful case - and it seems I do - I. Must. Buy. And while I ordered it, I also bought the Sigen Glastr Align Master, to see how it compares against this year's substandard EZFit.

I'm also clearly going to buy the Phone Rebel Gen 5 when it's out, horrible import fees and all.If it's like last year, i should get in in 2026.

I hate myself, but blame @Hooterville and his evil sidekick, @VaderRulez They are bad and dangerous people, whom I hope do not have a good, tough grey case to match my natural Titanium they can recommend quickly.

Just when I thought I was out...

For those of you who own the Nomad Modern Leather case for the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, how does the bottom feel on your pinky while holding it? Is it still kind of sharp like earlier iterations of the case? I'm contemplating picking one up in English Tan for those days I need a bit more protection than what the Decoded leather case can give but I would hope it's more comfortable this time around.

I do like that they've finally went for metal buttons and also have the action button as a button and not a cut out.

My Nomad Rugged is finally shipping today, so I should have it tomorrow or Wednesday (Santa Barbara is close-ish to me).

Mine arrives on Wednesday. I’m curious to compare it to the Limitless 5. My main concern is that the lip surrounding the screen looks pretty low when using a screen protector. The corner bumps that level out the back look like a nice feature.

If anyone wants that HUGE CaseBorne for the 15PM just PayPal me $10. to cover shipping and I'll ship it out to you.
The box it comes in is quite large and heavy.

I also have the same case for the regular 15 if anyone needs it.

I am trying, and failing, to remember how the Rugged case for my 14PM was with a screen protector. I want to say it was still a pretty substantial lip. @Hooterville might have a better memory than me?

To me to bottom felt a little sharp but was more annoying how hard the material felt on my pinky. Returned that one quickly

The Synthesis is exactly what I switched to after I got rid of that FineWoven trash. I don't even know why I bothered to try another Apple case, I should've just stuck with Caudabe to begin with. The Synthesis is so much better, it's like night and day. Way better grip, way better fit. I don't have any magnet issues on mine either. In fact, it's funny because the magnets are noticeably stronger on the Synthesis when I compare it to my FineWoven.

How is the Caudabe a "way better fit" vs. Apple's FineWoven case? My FineWoven case couldn't possibly fit any better. And my magnets are plenty strong. Zero chance it's falling off my MagSafe car vent holder.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like the FineWoven case nearly as much as the Apple leather case, but the fit is perfect.
