Long time lurker, first time posting.
I’ve been using this Elago Liquid Silicone MagSafe since launch. I haven’t seen anyone post about it, so I thought I’d contribute. This is the color Stone.
Pros:
- Nice silicone case. Great soft touch feel.
- Grippy - I always drop things and haven’t dropped it yet.
- Feels like it has a good amount of protection.
- Aluminum buttons that are nice and clicky. Action button is covered. Inside is protected.
- Cut outs at the bottom are precise.
- MagSafe is strong.
Cons:
- Too grippy - doesn’t slide into women’s pockets easily. Lint magnet once it’s in there. Plus side, doesn’t fall out either.
- Just above the USB C port, the silicone isn’t reinforced so it stretches when you push or pull on it. It will distort a little everytime I slide up on the bottom. Not saggy (yet), but I can see that piece wearing over time and possibly ripping off.
Overall, I keep coming back to this. It’s not perfect. My biggest gripe is the pocket/lint issue. So I haven’t been putting it in my pockets as much and holding it my hand more. And still haven’t dropped it, as an attest to its grip. And it feels good in hand. The lint also easily comes off when I wipe it with a wet microfiber cloth. Mainly happens with my jeans.
And it’s in my favorite color.

Where did you get this Pro version from? I only see the EZ ones on their website.Nice little Pitaka collection
Love the feel of the Torras. Don’t like that it scratched so easily. I also really like the Caudabe Sheath - good grip and excellent fit to the phone. However, I should just stop and be happy with my Apple silicone case as that’s the one I seem to use 95% of the time. If they had made a white one, I would have looked no further.
You guys can try using some frosted cases, the best part is that they don't stain with fingerprints.
Showing my new Torras collection. Next, I want to try either Spigen or ESR, but I'm not sure which one is better.

Proud moment: went to the Apple Store just now to get help with an issue with my payment method for subscriptions and saw the black fine woven on the wall and I can’t lie it looks dope on the black titanium… but I quickly told myself I don’t need to spend another 60+ on a case that will be scratched to crap in a day at my job… wasn’t easy but I fought the urge lol
Yes, I’m also hesitant buying premium cases from Amazon even though it’s shipped and sold by Amazon or brand store. They get so many returns I’m sure some of them don’t get inspected and I’m sure scumbags are switching with fakes then returning.
They sent the case to me for review but is up on their website.
Honestly, it's top shelf.
My bad I totally forgot. I got you today for sure. Been rocking with the Sheath since the day both of them came.Still waiting on those Ultra Bounce pictures and final judgement
Looks great! Someone actually posted about it a few pages back that it was bulky for a silicone case, so I removed it off my shortlist. Is it bulkier than the Apple silicone case?
I don’t have the apple silicone to compare, but I saw it at the store and didn’t think it was that much bulkier.
I do think the apple silicone “slips” into pockets a little easier. But I don’t want to pay that much for something that will degrade after time (I had one for my iPhone X that became a peely mess).
I got the ULTRA bounce, not the regular bounce. Promised my boy Hooterville I’d post some pics of it today so should be up in the next few hours
Didn't see if the OP replied.. I'm using these and they are fantastic

I'm looking for a really thin case for my just ordered 15PM. I'm coming from the (naked) 12P, so I already have to adjust to the size and want a thin case to protect from scratches (<=1mm).
I also want a hard case (no silicone) so I can continue to use my OhSnap grip.
Any recommendations? I like the Bare case, but can't tell what material it uses. I also like the Benks ArmorAir but can't tell the thickness.

I did reply and the Benks was one of the ones I tried. I absolutely loved it because it’s not as grainy as the other ones, but I realized the little piece at the top that goes over the earpiece was actually blocking the sound coming from it, making phone calls and media sound muffled.
If they’d make a version without that, I’d buy them again in a second.
Your phone can be scratched and dented to hell when trading in at your cellular provider or apple and you’ll get the same $ as a pristine phone.
The torras version of this case (Guardian) has much better grip btw! I had both and was surprised at how slippery the sides were on the spigen
Ringke Oynx on now. Good magnets, great design and excellent value!
