Gripmunk or Gripzilla?Caudabe!
In other news, I’m impressed with the smartish grip. Better buttons that sheath or synthesis.
I’m really liking the Gripzilla!
Well, he said he was “impressed with the Smartish Grip.”
FYI about the Lumen (and I believe someone else posted about this here recently as well), mine came with wear (1-inch scratch and many scuffs near the perimeter of the back) right out of the box. Hard to capture it in a picture, but was a bit disappointed for a $50 case. Maybe that‘s just all clear, plastic-backed cases, but doesn’t seem like it will hold up well to scratches/wear long term. Was a nice looking and feeling case otherwise.

Always the risk with plastic like that. But should come perfect and then you scratch it.
Same material like the Defender XT Pro, SUPER scratch magnet.
If you fart near it, there will be 10 scratches. I gave up buying these clear back cases a while ago.
I’m not that picky but am loving the Gripzilla. I could do without the bumpers on the 4 corners though.
I ordered a Gripmunk as well, but you could faintly see the MagSafe ring on the back (black one), so I immediately sent it back. Wonder if that affects all colors or just black.

Nice, why the action button so big?
I have no idea - That's honestly my only complaint. At least it has one though, lol.
How long did it take to get this? I can't find anything in stock but black for the 15 pro. Really want the Grey.
This looks so good, thanks for sharing! Does it have a soft lining on the interior? Does it have adequate magnets?
How's the camera coverage and does it get blue from jeans?Just posting pics as promised. Moft MOVAS Misty Cove, 15PM Natural Titanium. Pictures taken on a OnePlus 6T, so apologies in advance for the sh** quality:

The interior is more of a soft silicone and the magnets are adequate to my standards.
Ooh that looks good. I've have the grey and black version on order from Amazon for almost a month. I'll only be keeping one of the two, but with a natural titanium phone I think grey will be the one I keep. ETA is still a couple of weeks for both.
I had the Gripmonk clear on my 14PM. Loved the case! Good feel and snappy buttons. But...the tpu sides yellowed after only a few months. And it was not a daily driver case.
Ordered direct from otterbox on 10/15. Shipped 10/16 and received 10/21. They only had black and blue in stock when I ordered. I see it on the Apple Store app for the pro max, but delivery is a month out.
Pitaka MagEZ 4 vs Aliexpress Minimal Aramid Case
iPhone 15 Pro
Both
iPhone 15 Pro
Both
- Pro: Great Fit
- Pro: Very lightweight (Pitaka 19g, Aliexpress 20g)
- Con: Fingerprints
- Pro: Nicely contoured camera ring
- Con: "600d" aramid fiber looks nicer, but is slippery in comparison
- Con: No MagSafe alignment magnet
- Con: Logo
- Con: Price (~$60)
- Pro: Fast shipping from Amazon
- Pro: Actually some sort of warranty and return policy
- Pro: "1500d" aramid fiber, visible as a larger "weave." This is supposed to be a negative according to Pitaka's marketing, but I find the "1500d" to have more of a texture and therefore provides more grip. Function over form I guess.
- Pro: MagSafe alignment magnet
- Pro: No branding
- Pro: Price (~$23)
- Con: The most generic camera ring ever made.
- Con: Slow shipping (3 weeks)
- Con: No real warranty or returns
That’s fair. Free is always good especially if it’s a high quality cable. If it’s USB C 3.0 then even better. 😃👍
