I don’t need to attach a wallet on my case. When I need my credit card or debit card it’s already in my wallet on my iPhone. The only time I need to take out my wallet is when I enter the building at work for my work ID. Other than that I rarely have to take out my wallet.
Yeah I wish more stores had Apple Pay. Walmart for example, doesn’t accept Apple Pay. As a female, pocket space is limited so it’s nice to have the compactness of phone-wallet in one pocket & keys in the other.
Guess I got a crappy battery :(
I wouldn’t pay much mind to it

Yea Walmart is the only place that I’ve ran into that doesn’t take Apple Pay. But even with that it’s only like maybe 1 or 2x a month that I go to Walmart.

For me having a wallet attached isn’t practical cause like I said I very rarely need something in my wallet.

Wow the silicone? How do you like the “feel” of the silicone material? Some say it feels slimy?

You should try the Caudabe Sheath.
yeah the feel of the silicone is good. In the past it did feel slimy but i think they might have changed something this time lol or my mind is playing games.

Even if the Sheath didn’t have MagSafe would still be my #1.
Best TPU case out there, cuz that's what it is, a TPU case. With mediocre button covers, cuz that's what they are, covers with air slits. The Sheath is a great case, because TPU case have been great for a long time. What makes a really good TPU case is the fit, and that's what really puts the Sheath on top. Plus it has magsafe, which many TPU cases don't. Don't get me wrong, I like the Sheath, but honestly I think it's pretty overrated on this forum. I get it's goal of simplistic design and great fit, but in the end, it's still a TPU case to me, just a really nice one. When Caudabe retooled the Synthesis to what it has been the past two or three years, I think it surpassed the Sheath.

However until they start putting real "floating" buttons on their cases, I won't be buying their cases. This was the reason, I thought the Pitaka Pro for the 14 was meh...because it was still using button covers, when companies like Benks and Phone Rebel were using metal ones.

No, heat kills batteries. That's just physics. Someone that tells you they charge every night on magsafe and their battery is 100 doesn't mean anything. Difference use cases, you may charge more often or at lower battery levels, etc.

No need to worry, you're only gonna have the phone until next Sept. You need a reason to get your fix for your case addiction when the 16 comes out. :cool:

Ok the Sheath is a really good TPU case.

I like the way those look. If they had MagSafe, I would try them

Sadly comes in two colors

I only use Magsafe myself but think it may be killing the battery on my 15PM.
My battery health went down to 99% after only 34 charge cycles :(

The battery health on my 14PM was still at 100% when I got rid of it a year later.
I’m at 67 cycles/100% using MagSafe charging.

I pretty much charge my phone wired when it reaches no less than 40% on my Anker power bank. I always use my phone while it’s charging.

Since I probably use my iPhone more than anyone hear I usually have to do the above at least 3x a day. Yes no way I can get through an 8 hour day on 1 charge. Starting at 5:00am I’m usually at 40-50% at around 9:00am-9:30am.

If I use a MagSafe charger then my phone will get hot.

Yep I’ve thought about this one but it’s as you said, only two colors & they don’t appeal to me. I like the color options they have for their Thin Fit case

That was actually my #1 case until I tried the Sheath. Then I downsized and only case I’m using is the Sheath. I’m a 1 case person.

Are you getting any permanent Magsafe marks on your other cases?
Only the FineWoven so far, which happened very quickly (like one week). Once I settle on a primary case that gets used more than the others, it will eventually happen I’m sure. The Symmetry and the aramid Mous are both quite durable in my experience, the PR aramid less so. I’m curious to see how the Pitaka and Nomad hold up over time.

How about the Pitaka pro?

Where do you see your charge cycle count?

Just curious, what do yall use more? Light mode or dark mode?? I tend to use light mode as I find it to look more “official iPhone” lol but sometimes I switch over to dark for a day or two, but 95% of the time I am in Light mode.
