Yup, I’ve had the silicone case replaced a few times over the years. I’d rather have a case that lasts though.

I think if the Sheath was any thinner the C-ring would be even more prominent. The old Sheath prior to MagSafe was much closer to being like the Apple Silicone. My friend has an old one and I‘d forgotten how thin they were.

My third replacement Sheath arrives this week. I have almost zero confidence that the C-ring issue is resolved. We’ll see.
Yea I assume pre MagSafe the Sheath was close but we have MagSafe now.

Yeah it’s a hard decision lol. Also looks like the frosted from amazon is sold out right now because the delivery dates are all the way until January 18th or further.
I'm really unsure of which one I want lol. For me, it shows that the frosted would be here on the 8th, but not available for prime shipping, which the aramid is.
I really want the matte black component kit, but who knows when that'll be back in stock.

So I have been looking for a case “for around the house” that is light, and is comfortable to hold, as a lot of my go to cases aren’t fitting that bill. I know most of you want MagSafe, so you won’t be interested, but I charge via wire to avoid getting rings on the back of my cases. I got the Spigen Thin Fit and this case feels amazing to hold. Soft to the touch, incredible pinky comfort, clicky buttons and it looks nice in my humble opinion. For the $20 bucks I feel it is worth adding to the arsenal. I have had it for iPhones in the past but this one is top notch!

Ps don’t mind my slipper in the bottom left of the photo, I need to get my picture skills up lol.

Where are you located? I am in Canada so maybe that is why my dates are different and the Aramid is also available actually to be shipped this friday. I noticed a lot of the component kits are sold out..

I'm in So. Utah, so that's definitely why the dates are different. For me the aramid would be here Thursday.
The component kits sell out pretty fast, and PR also sucks at keeping things in stock lol.

Hopefully they come back in stock soon, and hopefully I can choose between the frosted and aramid soon lol. The one thing keeping me from leaning towards the frosted is the fact that I swap cases quite often, and these posts about the frost essentially peeling from the case, makes me hesitant.

Yeah i saw that as well about the frost as they called it melting or peeling. It would cause concern especially for the price of the case. Are you going to purchase through Amazon so it is easier to return?

Once I order one of the two, I'll most likely get it from Amazon, not because It'd be easier to return (That's nice too) but because I get 5% on every purchase, and the shipping is super quick lol.

Finally bought and running the Apple Silicone case for the last couple hours. I immediately realize the silicone is by far made for the iPhone when it comes to form factor and melts in your hand factor.

Lots have said it’s a lint magnet. For the types of pants I wear for work and casual doesn’t seem to be a problem because the pants have dedicated cell phone pockets made of performance materials. I’m like Jay Leno I wear the same thing everyday.

As far as sticking in pockets? Like I said above.

Has a good all over grip for me.
 
first case arrival of the day! Turquoise aspen. My kid approves of the color. First impressions, she’s pertyyyyyy
Gorgeous case, can't wait for mine to get here. Question; Did andar send you a shipping notification for your case? All I got was an order confirmation, but haven't gotten a shipping email.

Nope. But if you go to your confirmation email and hit order status it’ll give you tracking info if it’s shipped already

Nice, can you give me some installation tips please?

Do you put the bottom in first and then snap the top in or install from the sides?
 
Hi, any advice on a leather case for iPhone 15 Pro Max? I was leaning towards moft (movas), but I hate the lower cutouts, or towards nomad modern leather horween case (I read that some complain that it is too wide and tends to cause the phone to come out in case of a fall)

Hi! I have a Nomad Horween leather, and the fit on mine is good no issues. Moft Movas is vegan leather & I agree about the cutouts. I can recommend Andar Aspen for a full leather case with metal camera ring, and Bullstrap for an open bottom quality leather with leather wrapped camera bump with a super cosmetic warranty. Also, definitely check out the Patina Proud thread.

Im in So. Utah too, St. George.

They certainly run out of stock frequently, it probably doesn’t help they were giving them free with a case purchase. Still…

Have some more goodies to share since we last spoke!

I guess I will break them up into different posts, only way I know how to keep it looking easy to read.

Recently received the Andar Aspen in black. Ordered it because I love the Aspen I have in Camel Tan, so naturally I needed the black to go with the black titanium iPhone. Not much to say that already hasn’t been said here. Great case, great buttons, not much to not like here.

I had another picture of the case off of the phone but it’s saying “picture too big”… sorry folks.
