The iPhone 15 Pro Max is our fourth iPhone but the first one that we're going to use Magsafe charging. Our Otterbox Defender Pro cases aren't allowing attachment to our ESR Magsafe charging stands.

Any suggestions on a rugged similar to the Otterbox Defender XT? We're looking at the Pelican Shield, Simply Carbon Fiber cases.
 
I guess I have good pockets lol I’ve never had issues running with the silicone and excessive lint …definitely a good feeling case ..running with the Clay on Titanium iPhone …what case did you replace it with ?
I'm trialling a black finewoven and am really liking it. I have Navy decoded also.

I have a grey 'cowhide' leather case and a Apple leather knock off en route from Ali Express

Same with me lol. I noticed that for the first week or two the case picks up a lot of lint and then it suddenly stops shortly after that.

Why did you say you prefer the OB Symmetry over the Sheath again?

I'm liking the Mous Limitless, love the Benks (unsure about drop protection on it though), but both of them are fingerprint magnets!

Considering the Sheath and Symmetry in hopes they don't show fingerprints.

They are both fantastic cases. I like the buttons on the Symmetry way better, no open air slits, very tactical and I can change the colors. They Symmetry also offers no fingerprints and better drop protection than the Sheath.

I like that the Sheath has fantastic grip, nice soft lining on the inside back, very slim to the phone and no fingerprints or Magsafe rings show up on the back. I believe the Sheath has stronger Magsafe magnets also.
The Symmetry does show a Magsafe ring after charging but it wipes away easily.

Get both, you won't be disappointed in either.

Nomad Rugged. 15 ft. drop protection, lay-flat design, nice metal buttons, soft interior, not bad for fingerprints. IMO a much nicer case than the Otterbox.

Does the Symmetry have a soft interior? I know the Defender Pro has the inner hard plastic.

Thanks!
 
Any recommendations for a frosted clear case that doesn’t get fingerprints?

This is always a solid choice. The matte part is on the outside of the case, which keeps it from getting smudges.

Thanks!

Along the edges only, the back is just hard plastic.

What aliexpress leather cases are you buying? Must have MagSafe. Better if you already have the case and can vouch for it. Links please! Thanks :) I’m overwhelmed by the choices.
 
How bad is the dust and dirt problem with Caudabe buttons?

Agreed with [mention]KentuckyHouse [/mention] the slits on the buttons are a non issue.

If you’re complaining about a bit of dust going through those then it’s just nit picking at this point in my opinion.

Which by the way the slits are so small that whatever dust makes it through if any won’t scratch your phone or anything. It’s going to be okay!
 
Either way overblown or non-existent. I work outside and have had zero issues with dust or dirt getting into the case through the slits by the buttons.

Seriously, don’t worry about it at all.

Thanks both of you.

Ive never used Caudabe cases before hence thought ask the question on here.

I know Mous in the past used to have slit buttons. Never had any issue with them.

This looks great , I may order the black one … is the fit nice and tight ? I may get a skin to protect the open sides
 
considering a pitaka MagEZ Case Pro 4. anyone have this case who purchased it? are the buttons protected on the inside? which looks better, the 1500d or 600 aramid? any grip to it? thanks if you know.
