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

[Djones96]

So, I had already purchased the smartish gripmunk some time ago, and I think I was too quick to judge. It’s been sitting in a drawer collecting dust, but after reading this thread and giving into “peer pressure” 😂 I decided to give it another shot, and I’m liking it a lot more than I did initially. Buttons are much clickier than the caudabe cases as @thatappleguytoday mentioned and it’s much lighter/thinner feeling in the hand, and the grooves on the sides are wonderful. For $20 this case is outstanding.

A lot of review videos I watch not much lip protection. I was disappointed that the Nomad leather from reviewers didn’t have much or any lip protection. Technically Tee I believe uses Spigen screen protectors and reviewing the Nomad Leather I think he said screen protector almost flush.

Yup, the lip on the Nomad leather cases are essentially flush with a screen protector (returned one for that reason). Those cases should have a lip like the Rugged, and the Rugged should have an additional .5 mm or so IMO.

simmo has good lip, perfect really

Back in the Gen 5 frosted, wow that is one tight case

Excited to get mine. Hoping the weight doesn’t bother me though. After the switch to titanium, I’m really enjoying the lightweight feel of the phone. Probably why the Apple silicone is so high on my list this year

you know a case company is ******, when they can’t even give their own marketing team a case that isn’t broken.

Weird, my grip case has no issues?

As far as screen protection goes, the best lip I have seen is the Mous. Dbrand grip and gripzilla are probably tied for second. Many others are pretty minimal, especially with a glass screen protector (most are ~ 0.3mm).

I agree. The Mous and the Grip both have that U-shaped lip which gives lots of clearance without feeling intrusive on the sides. Makes it nice for setting the phone face down on almost any surface while also being easy to pick up.

For those with dbrand grip, does the grip still feel "too grippy" in a way that makes it hard to pull out of your pocket

Dude you got a frosted? Man now I have to take some time here over the next few days to see all the goodness that has been posted in here.

Another quick PopSocket interlude; the "Sunset Sherbert" I had on backorder showed up yesterday.

That matches nicely with the sunstone Symmetry

It’s pretty much “the same as it ever was.”

Thanks. I’m amazed by all the positive comments then!

100% yes! I actually loved the case in all aspects except this. After a few days of using it, this was doing my head in so much that I returned it. One of the hardest cases to get out my pocket I've ever had.

All the Gripmunk talk on here tempted me, ordered the 'Blues On The Green' colour (with MagSafe).

So far, super impressed. It's like a better version of a Caudabe case. I love Caudabe cases, but the buttons on this years have been so awful (in my opinion) that I have both the Synthesis and Sheath sitting in my drawer at home and cannot stick with them. (For the record, I complained and was sent replacements which were just as bad, so I don't think mine were 'one offs'). My immediate thought after putting this on was that it was like a Caudabe but with better buttons, and it was cheaper!!

I'm so impressed at the moment that if my thoughts on it don't change over the next 48hrs I'll be ordering the black version too.

Thanks for posting. I was wondering what the blues on the green colorway looked like. Some pics showed it as a bright blue. I have the natty.

Just ordered it. At first I was good with the Synthesis but after using my Spigen Mag Armor with the extremely tactile buttons, I fell out of love with the Synthesis. The buttons are really crap.

Do you have a screen protector on? Looks like nice lip protection.

Can’t wait to get mine tomorrow. Wish they made a gray.

Was just thinking. Do cases with air slit buttons have better tactile-itity than those that don’t? Which cases that don’t have air slit buttons have good tactility?

Air slits are supposed to be better for tactility.

Caudabe has air slits and in my experience, the volume and action buttons on their Sheath's this year are trash

Wow the blue looks great. I don’t need.. I don’t need.. I don’t need

 

[Pug72]

This looks familiar......🤔

If I wasn’t returning my Caudabe Synthesis I wouldn’t need it either. I hope the Gripmunk is a good replacement in terms of protection.

That's literally my exact experience too - put up with the Caudabe's for a week or so, reverted back to my Spigen Mah Armour and instantly thought "I was right in my initial thoughts, all Caudabe's buttons this year are s**t!!"

No screen protector, lip protection is for me in the sweet spot - enough to give me confidence to put my phone face down, but not so much it interferes with swiping etc.

I also wish they may a gray - I like the blue, but for me personally it's a little on the bright side, and I try to avoid pure black cases where possible. A nice charcoal or mid gray would be perfect to me. Or a deep navy, would love that too.

Now, do I order the green, blue or black Gripmunk for the black phone?

Maybe if we get enough people wanting gray we could get Smartish to make a gray.

I really really like the Spigen Mag Armor. The only negative I’ll give it is that the sides where buttons are IMO could be more tight. But corners anre good. Other than that I think it’s a sleeper case that doesn’t get much attention for some reason.
