How do aramid cases do with sweat? I normally run with my phone in a flipbelt but am curious if sweat reacts weird with the case.
If the case is unchanged from the one I had for the 13 Pro, it won’t patina at all or very very slightly on the edges.
I have one on the way. I can post a photo of it when it arrives plus also one with the natural titanium iPhone Pro Max.
There are two different Lonli leather cases. The classic version does not have a cutout. It looks like the edition version does have a cutout.
Anyone else running their current iPhone caseless until their 15 arrives? No? Just me? That’s fine 😂
Going to ask for help as my regular case does not qualify anymore.
My usual case was the Moment one. It has MagSafe, double lanyard / neck strap support, drop protection, edge protection even with a glass screen protector, a lower bottom lip for easy swipe access and that all in a slim profile.
However with the iPhone 15 pro having an action button they opted for an open design which leaves the button exposed.
So now I’m searching for new options based on the following criteria:
Must
- slim profile, if possible
- protective against drops / clumsy hands / kids holding it
- built in lanyard / neck strap support for when on vacation (I use a Peak Design camera strap)
- MagSafe support
- covered buttons(!)
- edge protection with glass screen protector
Bonus
- lower botten lip for easy swiping
Based on this thread, Reddit and Google searches, I have on my shortlist:
- Nomad Leather (Horween)
- Mujjo Shield Case
- Mous Limitless 5.0
- Otterbox Defender XT
Cases that didn’t make it:
- any case with exposed action button, like Moment and Carved
- Caudabe Sheath, no lanyard
- Pitaka, no lanyard
- Nomad Rugged, can’t be used in standby mode (horizontal), due to back edge
So dear community, what cases are worth checking out / am I missing or what would you suggest based on my shortlist?

I just got mine. I really like it but it seems like the finish would scratch easily. What have you seen from your prior experience?
It seems a lot of people like Caudabe and Sheath. What makes these cases stand out from the rest? I wish I could try them at Best Buy or some other store.
Mine has been naked for about six months now. I took off my Apple leather case when it became evident that the low quality tan on the leather was leading to ugly black patches instead of nice patina darkening. I never replaced it. Now I’m more or less committed to going caseless with the 15PM… but some of the current crop of third party leather options look pretty enticing.
It helps keep the device clean while giving it a soft, non-scratching bed for it to rest on.
Hard plastics or rubber inside a case scratches the phone over time. It rubs and abrasively wears scratches into the metal, with or without dirt stuck in it.
I definitely refuse to use cases with hard materials against the inside anymore
Am I the only person that gets one case? I usually go for the otterbox with a screen protector
Anyone have any experience with the Apple Clear MagSafe in the past? I was wondering if it has a slimmer fit or yellows more slowly than other clear versions like Ringke, Spigen or Speck? I have yet to find a clear case that doesn't yellow, but I really like the minimalistic look to a clear case.
Also does anyone know if the bottom of the case is open or closed? If it’s open, it’s a no-go for me.

If I wasn’t keeping track of the FineWoven experience in the other threads, I would have said they sent me the wrong color case. I know sometimes the colors don’t necessarily match the pictures but damn, the mark is way off.
Will see how it looks on the phone but considering you can get the whole set of these FineWoven colors (all 5 or 6) on AliExpress for literally the price of one of these, I may just return it outright and get that. The quality is not there for me. It picked up lint already and it hasn’t even been on a phone!
Picked up a Caseborne 5-layer case with magsafe. It's sizable but it's feels pretty sturdy and has a built-in dust cover, plus a metal kick-stand built-in. I might may not use the belt clip often but it'll be there when I do.
I just stick to 1. That’s why it’s such a hard decision.
Otterbox with a screen protector as well. Boring, I know, but it’s worked extremely well for me!
It doesn’t yellow because it is thick hard plastic and 2-2.5x the cost of others. I won’t buy one again as the hard plastic flexing and gripping the antenna leaves impressions and scratches after a several months.
Id rather have to buy 2 or 3 Spigen Hybrid clear cases since they use soft material for the edges. But I upgrade yearly so longevity of a case isn’t my priority.
I think I need to see that one on a phone. I’m not liking all the black on the frame of the case. I’m wondering how much of the sides will be covered by that frame.
