I heard people have bought from Amazon and not some third party seller and received fake AirPods.
Got a tip for us?

Are the buttons clicky and is the case slippery?
I am kinda of case hunting and just want a decent case that I will stick with for the next couple of months...
I’ve heard those rumors but have yet to talk to anyone who actually had that happen, so not sure. One thing I am sure about is that Otterbox is not honest with their shipping estimates and I’d expect much longer shipping times than quoted. At least with Amazon the shipping is usually as quoted and returns are easy, at least if you have Prime.
Buttons are extremely clicky. The back is a bit slippery but the sides have good grip. This is overall just a fantastic case IMO. Shows no fingerprints, the Magsafe is strong and it does not add much bulk to the phone at all. The sides of the phone only touch the soft rubber inside so no worries about scratches. I had 25-30 different cases last year for my 14PM and this was the case that I used the most.
The back of the RealTree is a lot more slippery than the regular ones.

Click the little 'Visit Otterbox Store" button under the title and you will see more Otterbox cases there.
Not airpods, but this happens to me with cases. I have purchased new cases on amazon (say for a 15PM) and found that it has a 13PM case inside because some jerk bought the case for their new phone and then returned it with an old case in the box and Amazon never checked the box.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone bought real AirPods and returned fake ones to Amazon.
Thank you for the pictures, I have also a blue titanium and was wondering how it would look with the blue case. Do the metal buttons of the case have any padding to protect the buttons of the iPhone?
I had already purchased the Torras case when the iPhone 15 Pro was released because it was so drop-proof.
I have no doubt about this as the Torras case has protected my iPhone 13 Pro very well and even after falling from the top of a mountain to a valley, the phone only suffered a little bit of minor damage. Thanks Torras, highly recommended!
I really wish that they would offer different color buttons. Sucks you had to buy two cases for the orange buttons. I don't fee like dropping 100 bucks on two case though.
Sold the RealTree off and recouped a little money.
The new 15 Pro has finally arrived, any recommendations for a case？ 
As requested, pictures of the Caudabe Sheath in Celestial Blue on my black 15 Pro Max. This is the one with the action button cutout, but I’ve got the “free” replacement with the cover already ordered, so this one will be available before long once that arrives.
I had to play with the exposure and white balance a bit to show the actual color. In a dark environment, it’s going to look black-ish. In daylight, it’ll look like a dark navy blue.
I wish Caudabe would be a little more adventurous with their colors. I used to love when they had that really saturated royal blue Sheath, but that seems to come and go every couple of years.
I still love their cases.

Awesome color. Goes great with your black iPhone!
A little mini review for anyone interested, just received my Moment Case (in Indigo) for iPhone 15 Pro (blue).
So far I've tested: a Bare Case, Caseology Parallax, Caudabe Synthesis, Caudabe Veik, Nudient, Otterbox Symmetry, Peak Design Everyday Case, Spigen Liquid Air, Spigen Mag Armour, Torras Ultra Thin and Apple's own Fine Woven.
This is currently comfortably my favourite. I'm really really impressed with it. Great feel, feels lovely, doesn't add too much bulk but feels like good protection.
But.. there's no Action Button cover. I know this is an issue to lots of people. Tbh it doesn't really bother me - if you look on one of my pictures the case 'slopes' down to the action button and it makes it really easy to press. But flagging this up as I know some people won't even consider it on this basis.
Best case I've had in a long time, but everyone's different so obviously YMMV.

Otterbox does not sell the buttons separately. I had the buy the $50. RealTree version (pictured above) and swap those buttons into my black case. The buttons on the Symmetry cases are swappable.
I didn't know all Symmetry cases have swappable buttons - I'd assumed there was something "special" about the RealTree edition that you had.
Good to know. I'll give it a try when I get home, I think my sunstone buttons on the black will look dope, as the yoof say... Is it an easy process?

Yea, please post some pics of that combo. That Sunstone has been in my Amazon cart for a while.
The Torras Magnetic Guardian comes with extra color buttons.Understood, if only they were sold with separate buttons
