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

[SweetLou122]

Using the ghost today.

Pros:
* looks (subjective)
* surprisingly strong magsafe
* thin profile/lightweight
* knurled plastic around the frame gives some decent grip compared to other clear cases

Cons:
* scuffs easily (known).

Will be interested to see what the revised version is like when they ship those out. But otherwise pretty good.

The Ghost looks cool because it looks so different and slim. However the raised MagSafe magnets on the back is what ruins it. Not only does the MagSafe get scratched super easily, but the raised magnets have a very loose connection to MagSafe products.

Phone Rebel Gen 5 Button kits are in and look to be of high quality. The backs of the buttons are smooth but there is no protective lining on them at all. I'll try them on the cases later this afternoon and report back. These pics do not do them justice, look way nicer in person.

You are a lot braver than I am. You so much get one speck of dust under those buttons and it’s over. You will forever have a marked up Titanuim IPhone.

Awesome! I ordered the black for the gen5 aramid. Do they include a small screwdriver with the kits? I have some otherwise, more curious than anything.

No, they do not come with that little driver they showed in the early pictures.
You are going to need a PH00 Phillips.

Agreed on all counts!

I think the Ghost looks 🔥 I like the raised MagSafe bump out. It adds a nice element to the back of the phone.

I bought my second Pitaka MagEZ 4 StarPeak case to go with the Over the Horizon I got.

Love them both! I’m using these two interchangably and haven’t used my Apple FW case since I got them.

Now to see if I should buy the new MagEZ 5 case too!

These are my two main cases as well. As much as I loved the PR upon initial use, it's just too bulky (for me). The PR or Pitako Pro will be my "sturdy" cases and the star peaks are my dailies. I also ordered the sunset or sunrise (whichever they are calling it) because I think that will look good with natural titanium.

@Hooterville buttons aren’t backed. Tried scratching one for you and it felt like metal.

I'm thinking about ordering the Moonrise to go with white titanium. Don't tempt me 😅

You are way too forgiving. You just spent your hard earned money on that case. You should demand perfection.

Eh I take what I can get an it’s an easy fix, for me easier then going through shipping it back lol sorry I’m the type that takes the least effort lol

I too use phone rebel and have no worries of that as next September I’ll be getting the 16 pro max/ultra anyways and besides having natural I shouldn’t have to worry about it

Phone rebels customer support response :
“Hello, we can provide return shipping label with a replacement to follow, or we can issue a partial refund of $10 on your order.

Let us know what works best for you.

The magnet can be pressed back in.”

Probably just gonna send this back and ask for full refund tbh.

What exactly is the issue with this?

They’ll send you a return label and then send out a replacement case and if you don’t wish to do that they’ll offer you a discount on what you paid… what else did you want?

I and many others have never had soft backings on buttons and it has never been an issue. I feel like this is so overblown unless the underside and super rough or something.

"BIG PIMPIN" Ultra Orange on the aramid fiber. Word of caution, make sure you have the correct screwdriver for the camera frame ( PH00 Phillips ) the screws are micro tiny and if you strip one out you will not be able to change the frames. Here are a couple quick pics:

Looks fire! Can’t wait to see the blacked out version

Maybe you can give some pics of the blacked out one as I think I'm putting the matte black on the frosted.

 

[AVBeatMan]

I’ve bought so many cases now I have no idea which one to use!

I had to return mine as the sides on the Ringke Fusion-X with MagSafe were flimsy as heck, really poor.
Was quite disappointed as I had been waiting patiently for it. The TPU they used on the XS Max Fusion is much stiffer, must be cost cutting.

Received a Storm Blue Apple Silicone today and got to say it's the most comfortable in the hand of all my cases. Will be using for a while.

That’s exactly how I remember them from the past. And agreed, the silicone is the most comfortable case that I found for the 15 pro so far. Can you imagine how amazing the leather case would’ve been if Apple released one this year? My goodness.

That looks killer! I have my orange buttons scheduled to arrive on Thursday and I’m really looking forward to installing them.

Silver on the frosted, Yea or Nay ?

Or the matte black on the frosted?

I think the black will look better on frosted. The orange on aramid is stunning, esp that camera ring

"MURDERED OUT" Frosted with matte black buttons & camera frame. I do have an extra set of ultra orange buttons that might spice it up a little. This is the hardest case I've ever put my phone into, praying I'll be able to get my phone out of the damn thing
