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

[Southernguy]

Does anyone have experience of bellroy cases like this? Bit put off by the lack of an action button but I could be sold…

Any 2-3 piece / layer cases you recommend?

Just have my doubts about some of these 1-piece ones I see as far as drop protection goes.

Mous and Casetify seem like they’re the best of them. Ultimately it’s a game of trade offs. On one end there’s ultra thin and minimal with barely any protection, on the other there’s maximum protection at the expense of design and aesthetics and feel in the hand. Within that scale there are many cases that try to balance those factors. Multi layer cases prioritize protection more and thinness less.

I used to be a maximum protection guy but over time as phone materials have gotten more durable I lean more towards minimalist. I work from home and don’t go on too many wild adventures. If I worked in construction or went backpacking regularly, I’d have a different calculus on the level of protection I needed.

I’d also be interested in seeing the pics. Curious if the action button is a button or
A cut out, it’s hard to tell from the website

Website shows a button

Affter researching cases all weekend I think I finally narrowed my criteria to what I want: Clear case with great drop protection and feels good in the hand that is MagSafe compatible. A chamfered edge is highly preferred for quality of life using gesture controls with case on. this video was a huge help for me: top 10 clear cases for iPhone 14

I have settled on Mous Clarity. 2.0. with ESR Amorlite screen protector. I really like the chamfered edge of the Clarity 2.0 and the amrorlite screen protectors have a curved edge for full coverage. just read about the lack of camera protection on the clarity..back to the drawing board...at this point im serously considering a pelican case lol


Here’s some criteria to look for:

-raised screen edge(chamfered edges with raised corners makes swiping easier but makes screen more vulnerable)

-raised camera bump (if not flush with back it will wobble on surface)

-action button covered (not a cut out)

-TPU vs Poly carbonate (all TPU will yellow over time)

-magsafe compatible

-built in stand (optional)

-shock absorbing

Yea, I'm sending mine back.

I've decided to also. The sides are just too flimsy and the more I look at, the cheaper it looks.

Yea, I'll apply the $20. towards a Mous case or something.

I've always like the Onyx cases but I'm just not feeling this one.

Found this video that shows the natural titanium pro max in a mulberry finewoven case. It looks so good! The reviewer even puts it next to a 14 pro, and there's a huge difference in bezel size!

I ordered a FineWoven case that will be delivered tomorrow, but after seeing pics of what people actually received, I started shopping again. This should be arriving Saturday, with any luck:

This is really pretty. What color phone are you pairing with?

 

[Teach8870]

I'm looking at the the Pitaka MagEZ Case Pro 4 or Benks MagClap ArmorPro Case.
Never had an Kevlar/Aramid case before.
Are the slippery? Any other Kevlar/Aramid recommendations?

Thanks

Not slippery at all and very durable. Love Pitaka cases and the MagEZ is usually my go to!

 

[Pug72]

Still looking for a 2nd case to go with my FineWoven 🫣.

I do have a Caudabe Sheath ordered but it's just so they send the Action Button one later.

 

[Teach8870]

What screen protectors are people going for and why? I.e. easier application, better screen coverage, something else? Thanks

And does anyone bother with camera lens protectors?

Spigen glasTR are the best!

 

[WaitingForGuacamole]

This is really pretty. What color phone are you pairing with?

White Titanium.

 

[vine-boating]

How are the Mous clear cases? Do they yellow,too slippery?

Cypress 15 PM Silicone case. Pairing with blue titanium.

That looks pretty good! Could you please upload a pic of the blue titanium in it when you get it?

🙏🏻

Mujjo just arrived from Amazon. The leather looks painted/treated/coated to the point I’m not convinced it’ll patina nicely.

Not sure if it comes across in photos but it just looks a bit…plastic?!

Vegan not real leather?

 

[Hooterville]

Maybe I'll order another "SlipperySuit" with the fake carbon on the back

Vegan not real leather?

hmmmm the product page says….

Premium, long-lasting European leather tanned in the Netherlands, Gold Rated by the Leather Working Group for environmental standards.

….so I presume not?

 

[Maz39]

I like Mujjo’s cases. And tbf, it’s a vegan leather if I rightly recall so not actually leather.

I tried the blue one for my 14 pro. Went back after a week as the corners were already wearing black.

It’s not vegan leather. It’s full grain leather, which is real. It is vegetable tanned. Meaning the tanning they use doesn’t hurt the environment as much.

It’s real full grain leather that is vegetable tanned.

CaseBorne really stepped up their game this year. I call this one the Otterbox Defender Stomper. Massive case that is built like a Mac truck. Comes with the belt clip, 2 screen protectors, cleaning kits ETC. Love the metal camera ring that folds out to be used as a kickstand. Strong MagSafe mangets. This is one sturdy, tough case. Couple pics:

Ah yeah, vegetable tanned, that’s it. Interestingly though, they have never called it full grain?…. And they have changed ‘leathers/dying’ this year.

 

[UnjustifiedBot]

Haven't got that on mine but it should straighten out on phone?

View attachment 2266238

Same. Mine is fairly straight.

 

[iFone88]

To be fair. You can’t say it is something, when they don’t describe it as that.

The 14 series is vegetable tanned, it doesn’t say full grain. And the 15 series doesn’t state vegetable tanned or full grain

They literally have “full grain vegetable tanned leather” on the front of the box. And yes Ecco leather is real. Just responsibly sourced from food processing companies.
