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

[InsulinJunkie72]

It seems like Peak Design is starting to get stock trickling back in of the 15 Pro Max versions of the canvas "Everyday Case" in various colors. Based on their prior expected timeline, it hopefully is the updated version with an action button.

Everyday Case for iPhone 15 Pro Max

A Magsafe-compatible phone case with the perfect balance of slimness, smart aesthetics, and protection, plus it brilliantly connects to the entire Peak Design Mobile Ecosystem. It's a case with zero compromise—and you don't have to take our word. The Wirecutter frankly admits "we don't say this...

A unit of the Sun (Yellow) may have leaped into my cart and forced itself through checkout. I'm still investigating how this could have occured.

Thanks!

So annoying that if you want to run a single rectangular widget, you cannot move it from the left hand side of the screen. Such a stupid fault by Apple, that.

Interferes with my wallpaper so will run this in future.

I ordered a green and it almost looked black so I returned it.

Color representation on the Apple website is very deceiving for this one.

My impulse buy Caudabe’s arrived today. They both look fine, no MagSafe trough (Sheath) and the magnets seem secure (Synthesis). The texture, which I think is their strong point, feels pretty good, but I think it would be a bit much over time (for me). The buttons are just barely passable. The Action button is mushy, volume just OK—Caudabe needs to fix this. Not bad cases for the price, but for me, overhyped a bit. Of course YMMV. These will probably go back or be sold here for cheap. Back in the Mous already.

PS - as @Hooterville said, that Synthesis is ridiculously tight. My phone almost went flying when trying to get it out of the case… 😤

No magsafe on the Sheath? It should have?

I’m ready to pull the trigger on the Mous but I’m not too crazy about the color options. The one I like the most is the speckled but I wish it wasn’t speckled and I don’t like Aramid.

I have the Synthesis and I like it but looking for a more protective case for certain situations.

I'm sooo done with cases for my 15 Pro Max. Normally each year I pick up an Apple Silicone and a Mous (or similar for better protection) and be done with it. This year for some reason I couldn't make my mind up so tried no less than a dozen cases, some of which are listed below.

Mous Limitless Aramid
Mous Limitless Leather
Otterbox Defender XT
Spigen Enzo Aramid
Torras Slim Case
Tech21 Evo Max
Apple FineWoven
Apple Silicone
Benks 600D Aramid
Caudabe Sheath

All cases had minor niggles, which I won't go into, but ultimately I ended up where I did the previous years - Apple Silicone in Storm Blue and Mous Limitless in Leather. Apple silicone is the same Apple silicone we love to hate. The Mous isn't perfect either but better than the Aramid version and in terms of design, feel and all-round protection it's hard to beat. The only thing I might do is infill the white logos in black to make it more discreet.
I want to try a leather case at some point, but for now I'm happy... I think!

I wish Mous would make a back other than speckle, leather, aramid or walnut. I like the features of the Mous but want a more “rugged” look.

How’s the grip on the Limitless 5.0?

 

[AE14]

As much as I like Mous to a point, the extra branding on the back imo is obnoxious.

Anyone have a pic of the Mous Limitless 5.0 in speckled?

In the black leather above doesn’t look too bad to me. But yes no need for the extra branding.

I wish they'd make a proper full leather case.

I find the grip good. The sides are plasticky but it has a rippled grip thing going on on both sides which makes it feel secure in the hand.

Really enjoy the way the Phone Rebel Frosted feels. Much thinner than the Aramid fiber version. The video is dropping today and I’m really feeling it.

My opinion of the Phone Rebel lineup is way over engineered for what it could be. Corners are too fat and bloated. Plus the lineup always comes up late in the game.

I have the Caudabe Synthesis and I really like the side matrix grips.

To me with the Mous they look like inlays and to me look cheesy. But I really like what the Mous has to offer in protection.

I don’t think so honestly because it literally checks every box. It’s hard to find faults in in and people are saying what “could” happen without them actually happening such as camera lens scratching and things like that. Sure it’s late the game and they need to improve that but hey it is what it is. People wait for that case every year and are fine with it.

Yeah, a plain black with that material, but without the speckles, would be awesome. Maybe the black leather would work?

No magsafe on the Sheath? It should have?

Sorry, I was referring to the indentation on the back of the case that follows the MagSafe magnets that some have reported. None on mine, which is good.

I need to order one. The frosted was one of my favorite cases last year but was mighty slippery and I stopped using it.
The Gen 5 side grips should help a lot. I didn't even know it was available. Asleep at the wheel over here

Can you post some pictures of the Tech 21 Evo Max?

Why the return on the ghost out of curiosity?

It was badly scratched out of the box.

All of the Moft cases besides the White are available on UK Amazon BTW

Thanks! I didn’t think to look on Amazon. Wonder if the Seafoam would go with the blue PM.

Very easy and you can still see the beauty of the titanium sides...it is a very light shade of gray

That looks so clean.

Really liking this fine woven knock off from AliExpress. Going to order the purple one too.

Yeah it's still a little slippery but ive had it and been using it and really enjoying it. Maybe it's just me but it feels much slimmer in hand.

Unfortunately I've returned all but the Apple Silicone and Mouse Leather. Actually I have the Spigen Enzo too but that's going back next week.

The Tech 21 Evo Max is a solid case, but two small niggles for me. The oversized action button and the the lens cover. Great idea but a bit of a pain to open quickly if you want to take a quick snap.

Did you have the black or see thru one? Did that action button work Ok?

I'm so tempted to try this case but have a feeling it's not going to be that great.
