Been using the Benks Armor Pro for a day or two. Sadly it will be going back. I guess I’m just not cut out for Aramid Fiber as much as I want to be, I love the look but I just can’t handle my case looking all smudged up. Also the feel of Aramid Fiber isn’t for me, I like the feel of leather or plastic better I guess. Oh well, was nice while it lasted.

I had the Benks pro too and sent it back. It was slippery like a bar of soap.

I like the feel of my Caudabe Synthesis. The back has some texture and the side matrix grips are amazingly grippy.

I ordered the Mous Limitless 5.0 in Aramid. I like the concept of Mous. However I don’t like their back offerings. So the closest to plain jane was the aramid. I’m not a huge fan of aramid because of the Benks. But the Benks had no grip which is important to me. The Mous has grip on the sides so I’m hoping it will work out. The Mous will be arriving tomorrow.

I actually prefer one piece plastic or TPU cases like Caudabe or Speck.

How are the Spigen cases quality and durability?

Quality and durability on the cases is great, and such good value!

I’ve been using Spigen casss on my two previous phones (Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8), also looking solid on family members Pixel 6 and 7 Pros

Yea Amazon prices are amazing. I really have my eye on this case.

The Mous dropping to just under $50 is the price point it should be sold at.

I quite liked the Aramid version I tried out for a week or so. It felt great (albeit hard plasticky) and looked good. However, I felt it just cost way too much. I also didn't need two Aramid backed cases when the Spigen Enzo felt much more premium for half the price.

The leather version for a little under $50 sure is tempting though. I already have too many cases already so I'm trying very hard to not impulse buy it.

This looks so sexy but I just don’t understand why they feel the need to leave the bottom open… this ain’t the iPhone 11 anymore!

I was weighing that dilemma against Nomad’s inaccurate cutouts. As much as I love Nomad’s buttons I went with Bullstrap this time around.

It looks so good! I haven’t heard anything about my order other than order confirmed. I ordered a Dune for Pro & Bourbon for PM.

Hopefully soon! I also considered the Bourbon as well ha

*shudders*

I can relate with the overall theme, though. I participate in this thread because I enjoy the art and design skills that go in to making some of these top seller cases.

I typically try to buy no more than five cases for each phone. Every year prior to this I've settled into an Apple leather case until the next release but we're about mid-cycle and I’ve just switched over to silicone.

All that said I still enjoy reading about people’s experiences and the photos they share of their new accessory.

Depends, on a normal day I‘m using no case, because I‘m in the office or work from home. On the other days I’m using the Decoded leather case in black.
Click to expand...
I feel with all the chat about some of these other cases, the black leather Decoded has slipped under the radar. It’s in my rotation of 3 cases, but 3 weeks in, it’s slowly becoming my daily because it’s just a real nice case. My AliEx silicones are great when I’m at the gym, or running about with my children, but this is a proper nice case.
 
3 new cases delivered today:

Mous Limitless 5.0 in black leather - not as bulky as 13PM Limitless case, has a good texture on the sides so not too slippery, back doesn't feel like real leather, might be "genuine leather" instead. my fingers dont get much traction on it, but not a dealbreaker. I’m considering keeping the case as my "protective" case, MagSafe feels weak, but GREAT button feel, very clicky and responsive. seems to add a little bulk to the phone compared to the PR G5 which feels thinner in the hand.

PhoneRebel Frosted Gen5 - very similar to the aramid version of the case, except my specimen has 1) less aggressive texture on the sides when compared to what the aramid had and 2) plastic back seems to stick to my fingers when holding w/o my thumb (think of just resting it on your finger tips). MagSafe stronk. I liked the aramid case and sent it back only because I already had the Benks case. TBH Benks might be going back..... I also think I want to compare the ghost case to this one and see what I think

Apple Silicon - physically the thinnest case of them all; mous feels a hair taller because of the curve, in reality the apple silicon is probably 1mm thinner than the PR, but you can def tell when they are side by side. MagSafe strength feels average, not as stronk as the PR, closer to the Mous MagSafe strength. I really enjoy how smooth and soft the sides feel. button presses are average. might keep this one as my thin case. id like to try out the Pitaka non-pro case to see how I like it as a thin case, I used to use it on my 12PM phone


I looked back at my amazon purchases and my "thin case" for my 13PM was the spigen MagSafe armor. very minimal protection, but great feel in the hand for a thin case.

Smartish Gripmunk vs Caudabe Sheath, which would you guys go with?

I have a Gripmunk for my iPhone 13 and it's been great. Only small issue would be that it's a bit bulky.

However, it's much cheaper than the Sheath.

Sheath looks a bit slimmer but unsure if it's worth the extra money.

Thoughts?

I would do Sheath personally. I tried the gripmunk and I didnt like how bulky it felt.

Just ordered the real tree for 28 buckeroos… about to assemble me a good old fashion HOOTERBOX!

My favorite case for sure. Trying to figure out what other color Symmetry would look good with the Real Tree buttons?

The brown was not so hot, what about the green with orange buttons?

The gripmunk is close in size to the Synthesis, almost identical but lighter. It’s closer to the Apple silicone in weight. Didn’t feel bulky at all and more comfortable to hold than the synthesis. I think the sheath has similar material.
