Do the lighter colors discolor easily? Not just smudges, but actual discoloration on the sides like most clear cases… and the Caudabe synthesis I had for my 14PM :( I had dark green and the sides turned blackish after use. Very sad as I loved the case and strong magnet.
No, I don't think they lose color or discolor. I have a Red Silicon on a 12 I use on my Motorcycle and that's doing ok, even exposed to the elements as it is.

It is a soft-feel and "porous" maybe, so that's why I think it can stain easily.

Ordered the Pitaka Pro today directly from Pitaka (amazon has them as well but the photos are of the 14 model so I was hesitant to order directly from Amazon). Side note: Amazon has the 2 pack of Anker 6 foot nylon wrapped usb c to usb c cables 10% off today. Normal price is $12.99. Solid deal for anyone needing quality cables.

Does anyone have good experience with Casetify? There is design I absolutely love, but I have never had their cases.

Ordered the Pitaka Pro 4, Ringke Onyx Magnetic and the black Otterbox Symmetry.

The date to receive my phone has slipped to 09/29 :confused:
Every iPhone I've ever preordered has arrived close to a week late (all through ATT). The 2 iPhones I didn't preorder I just walked in ATT the day of release on my lunch break and walked out a half hour later with a new iPhone. Stores usually get 50 or so for launch day and the days of stores being sold out a hour after opening doesn't happen anymore. Pre-ordering doesn't really make sense unless you're in a situation where you can't leave your home or simply don't want to leave your home.

Just received the Pitaka MagEZ Case 4 today for my 15 Pro and so far, I'm loving how it looks! It's very soft and is constructed of Kevlar. it's probably the thinnest phone case I've used yet, and I'm astonished at how it works with MagSafe, yet it's so low profile. the open sides, top, and bottom won me over, and will showcase the titanium brushed finish amazingly!

Love Pitaka but can't live with the finger prints.

EXTREMELY high quality cases. My wife gets one for every phone, and they still look and feel excellent two years later when she upgrades. They arent cheap, but they are VERY well made, fit well, no sag, and the colors actually hold up really well. I dont evangelize accessories often, but they are 10/10 for us.

How soft is the case. With no soft lining inside, is there a risk of the sides being scratched

The Clay Silicone Case from Apple looks great - I feel like we haven’t had a Silicone Case in this colour for quite some time and it looks quite classy:

Only thing is, actually can‘t decide between this or its Finewoven counterpart.
Probably already mentioned but Clay doesn't look like the photo on Apples Website. It's more of a Gray, on Apples site it looks to be more of a Flat Dark Earth color.
I snipped a clip from YouTube of the Clay Silicone Case

interesting, thanks. I think would still compliment blue titanium well.

Meanwhile I’m also curious to see comparisons between the Winter Blue silicone and the 14 Pro’s Sky silicone case, looks quite similar

It's not a soft touch material so if particulates do get inside, there's a chance it might scratch the titanium, but I'm not too concerned if that does happen. it already does leave half the phone exposed anyways and I have AC+.

Yeah it should. Just wanted to make sure what you see may not be what you get hahah but I do think it'll look good with the blue

I had a spigen ultra hybrid for my 13 PM and loved it. Ordered one for my 15 PM and it got delivered yesterday. I think it'll be a great case.

Did they ever fix the magnets from peeling inside the case? I had one for my 13 PM, and within the 30 day Amazon return period they started coming loose

Are you referring to the magfit case? If so, I can't comment on that because the one I had was the anti-yellowing one. Sorry, should've specified which version of the case I had. I imagine they would've fixed that by now if it was a widespread issue.

FineWoven looks bad… The fabric patch only being on the back, the material itself showing smudges/durability concerns, and reports that it feels light/cheap compared to the leather cases have me turned off.

Sounds like it should not cost the same as leather when it is basically just a plastic and polyester case, yet it is $60 like leather was before they yanked it last week.

I’d probably be interested if the fabric wrapped around the sides like the leather or silicone cases, but the cheap Nomad case look is no good.

I say that every time I get a new phone and it doesn’t happen. I end up with 10 at least.
I've found my people! (I was pretty good with the 14 Pro...I only got 7). I'm trying....trying to stay to 3-4 this time around. I've ordered 2, and will almost certainly get a leather one from either Andar or Nomad (I had both last time, and like both, but I'm just going to pick one).
