Which Case Did You Get or Recommend For Your New iPhone 15 /Plus /Pro /Pro Max?

[Ta0jin]

P

Benks - Have button covers but potential finger magnet
Caudabe - Only cutout for action button but no fingerprints (I'm not from US and order direct from Caudabe costs alot)

will appreciate your opinion which 1 is better in terms of convenience

I don’t see many fingerprints on my Benks case but I’ve heard some people have, it wouldn’t bother me personally if I did.

The Caudabe case won’t show fingerprints, and it has a textured finish and depending on the person some people like it, some people don’t. I think the texture feels good and adds to grip.

Honestly I would say if you want good grip go with the Caudabe, it has an amazing fit and grip.

I just placed order on Benks Armor Pro

if I don't like it, I will keep it until the button cover version for Sheath is released ...

how is the magsafe strength?

Feels same as apple leather cases with the original MagSafe charger at least. YMMV

Benks case is a great choice too. I exclusively rocked the Benks and Caudabe case all last year on my 14 pro.

Got the Caudabe case - blue sheath. In hand. WAY different color than the website showed. Far more slate and muted. I really like it way way better than I thought. I just didn’t want black or purple.

Even this photo makes it more saturated than in person.

These were taken under “white” light.

Don’t judge my dirty screen, please 😂

As will I. I’ll just get two colors for the price of one.

Sadly im not in US and the shipping cost is too high also local Caudabe reseller offers cheaper price too

Wow this thread moves fast!

I'm looking for a clear case as well for my wife. I've narrowed it down to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Caudabe Lucid Clear, Otterbox Lumen, and Phone Rebel Gen 5 Crystal (which hasn't been released yet). Spigen is cheap and would be here quickly, but I'm not sure how good protection is (she drops her phone all the time). The others are all in the same price range so I'd rather just get one of those. I know the Otterbox Lumen came out.... last year? Didn't hear too much about it so I'm not sure how great it is. Phone Rebel usually hits that balance of toughness and not being slim, but who knows when that'll be available.

I'm gonna try out the dbrand Ghost and maybe the Phone Rebel Gen 5 on my 14 PM when they're released.

Great thanks guys I appreciate it! Not easy being the go to guy in the fam… lol.

I might take Phone Rebel off my list. On Reddit people have issues with the cases separating and the clear cases cracking relatively easily. Add to that they only have a 30 day warranty and beyond that they only give you % off future purchases.

Has anyone tried ESR cases?

For my 14 PM I bought 2 Apple leather cases to start with and they were fine…looked nice etc.
About 6 months ago I decided I wanted a clear case and bought an ESR MagSafe compatible one..it hasn’t left my phone since. Brilliant! No yellowing unlike Spigen ones I’ve had in the past, decent protection and grip but best of all..built in kickstand that doubles as the camera guard. Ordering the same again for my incoming 15 PM.

Ah. Makes sense. Enjoy the new phone!

Ordered this torras after searching for a couple of days, normally use Spigen and esr but I like that you can change the buttons on this as a bonus. I just wish there was a version without a tinted back because I like the black bumper but would prefer to see the new titanium colour better.

Like that colour a lot. Will be my choice if I order one

Just got my Speck Presidio2 Grip for the 15 Pro Max

Wow, I really like the color combination on this one. I've never been a fan of these cases, but I might have to pick this up as my "rugged" case. Thanks for sharing.

It's not available in the UK Amazons store sadly.

This case is available from Amazon UK for both Pro models.

Has anyone ever tried the Native Union cases? Native Union (Re)Classic Case for iPhone 15 Pro Max looks quite good.

This looks like a really good option - I may order one!

 

[Fanboi4life]

is it the lighting or the actual colour is not like what is portrayed on the website?

iPhone 15 Pro Max Caudabe Sheath in Celestial Blue

I tried my best with the lighting but yeah, I agree, it’s not the same from their site BUT I still love the color.

I’ve read the OtterBox Defender case is well known to scratch the iPhones. What about the design causes this, and do other OtterBox cases like the Lumen or Symmetry also scratch the phones? How about other clear plastic cases, like the Spigen Ultra Hybrid? I’ve been using opaque flexible TPU cases (Tech21) and have never had them scratch the phone. It seems like all of the clear cases have hard polycarbonate backs with rubber/TPU sides. One reason I never liked the Speck cases is the hard plastic backs. Seems cheap and micro scratches easily. I prefer a clear flexible TPU, but I don’t see many of these. ESR might have one. Perhaps because they are not as clear or yellow much quicker than polycarbonate.

I’ve always liked the Tech21 cases, but last year’s Evo did not fit the 14 Pro Max properly. Don’t hear much on here about Tech21. The Evo cases are a flexible TPU with side and corner padding for drop protection. They have performed really well on my iPhones with drops, and never scratched them. They do yellow over time, but hold up well for at least a year+. I’m looking for something similar with drop protection pads, and am finding it difficult to find anything that I like that doesn't look like an oversized OtterBox tank. The Mous Limitless is similar I suppose, but looks cheap and overpriced in comparison.

Oh thank you.
The case is £70 which is very expensive.

Is the case that good and worth the price in your opinion?

 

[Fanboi4life]

As will I. I’ll just get two colors for the price of one.

How will that exactly work? Do they remind you that the action button version is available and send it to you automatically? Or do you have to actually order it? I’ve never been through this program.

Not worth the money for me, I have bought the Benks version instead for a more reasonable price of £39 after 15% discount.

Benks cases take a while to come and I need it by Friday 22nd. I will order a Benks case though as my backup option.
