I bought this one. I’ve never had a clear case, because it typically get black phones, but this time I got the blue. It fits snugly and it thin, but sturdy and protective. I like it so far. I’ve been debating going caseless, but can’t bring myself to do it. I try, but after 10 to 15 minutes, I’m freaked out that something is going to happen.

Amazing! Do you like the Milky Way or pure blue better?

Never had a Pitaka case before - Can you feel the grain of the material on the back? Or is it smooth and flat?

I asked them to send me the Milky Way as I liked the design better and thought would look amazing on the natty titanium, and oh boy it sure does look even better in person. You can definitely feel the texture and feels very premium. Only con so far...pain to take off with how slim the case is.

The pro case has a more smooth feel to it, but also very quality with metal buttons

I'm still waiting for my Over the Horizon and I think they just stopped working for the national holiday week before they could post my case haha

Do you think there's a risk of damaging or scratching the phone when you take the case off?

I thought about trying out eBay phone cases at one point. They looked pretty cool, but I wasn't sure if they'd hold up well over time.
I’ve been getting them for years for everyone in the family. They are dirt cheap, 10% to 25% of a name brand case.
Typically they’re good for about 3 years. The worst one began showing wear after year. The best ones outlasted the iPhone. Since they are low cost, it is no big deal if they need to be changed because of “style” (a big deal for a teenage daughter).

Well there’s a saying that says. “ you don’t miss something till it’s gone “. And this is what’s happening with the Apple Leather iPhone case.
Unfortunately I have yet to see a leather case that’s Apple quality
The search goes on…….

Ok you win

I'm so annoyed I got the official Apple Silicone case and it was fine... yesterday I dropped my phone and some of the silicone ripped off!

I'll post a picture when I go to pick up my new case - I ordered the same one with Curry's because it was £10 cheaper.

My black one has just this second arrived; I've got it on my phone.

Think I'm going to prefer the blue. The back does feel nice on the phone but the sides are very slippery!

Early observations from when I had them before I got the phone is that we should probably wait until cases are on phones before judging them. It feels a lot more solid and durable on the phone; worth £59 is yet to be decided

Natural Titanium. Im sold on Mulberry

Looks good!

One thing I will say re the FW - I have just tried to scratch with my nail and it's not marking it. I suspect you really have to dig your nails etc in quite hard to mark the case as some have done

Is there a iPhone 15 pro max version of this one?


I have the newer version but it only comes in clear. Don’t like it very much as it’s slippery and a fingerprint magnet.

That Taupe is almost two weeks old now used by my OH and still looking fresh.
I went out at lunch and taking my phone in and out my pocket and holding to message etc, in the wild does feel really nice in hand. Slimmer than my Decoded leather

I've got the blue one now and I'm torn. The they are both really nice but I'm not keeping both!
