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

[Hooterville]

I was looking for a case that is red, yellow or orange but has a black rim around the camera flash

I'm selling an orange Rhinoshield Solidsuit with black camera ring and buttons over on the marketplace.

Even if the Sheath didn’t have MagSafe would still be my #1.

so you have tried most cases?

To me, the Sheath’s killer feature is the surface texture, which some love and others hate. I like that it’s essentially fingerprint-free and provides a good amount of grip, but not so much that it causes other problems.

Yeah, the texture of the Sheath f*cks! It took me a while to warm up to the texture. Something about it and hard to explain.

I always use my phone while it’s charging.

this why some don't use magsafe, can't put it down lol

TORRAS Ultra Thin iPhone 15 Pro Max Case for MagSafe [No. 1 Magnetic Force] Extreme Protection Slim Case iPhone 15 Pro Max Phone Case(Velvety Touch & Elegant Look) Black

1 piece

Anyone got this Torras Ultra Thin case? I loved the one for the 13 Pro Max but I can’t help but feel the buttons on this one will rattle. The buttons being a part of the case was one of the best aspects of the 13 version, don’t know why they changed it.

I’d happily pay more for a Sheath with excellent metal buttons.


The 15PM Sheath is 47 grams vs the Pitaka Pro at 40 grams. The Pitaka is stiffer, with a more precise fit, and also has air pockets around the perimeter, which appears to make it more protective than the Sheath, regardless of the claims made by the manufacturers, which should always be taken with a big dose of salt.


I believe it’s unwise to take these drop tests at face value. How many times were the phones dropped, at what angles, on which surfaces, how many resulted in damage, how did they define damage, and so on. The claimed difference between a 4’ and 6.6’ drop test is meaningless really.

To me, the Sheath’s killer feature is the surface texture, which some love and others hate. I like that it’s essentially fingerprint-free and provides a good amount of grip, but not so much that it causes other problems. My ideal case would be the Pitaka Pro with its near perfect fit, camera surround, buttons, and weight, combined with the surface texture of the Sheath. I’d happily pay top dollar for that case and that would be the last you’d hear from me on this thread. 😊

Problem for you is wanting the Pitaka pro with the surface texture of the Sheath most likely will add weight. It’s the trade off with the materials.

The Sheath a little lighter and thinner depth would be 10/10.

Apple Silicone is my benchmark. Here are specs of sily and sheath.

Apple silicone
Without phone installed
149.5
73.7
11.2
28g
With phone installed
150.3
74.2
11.2

Sheath
Without phone installed
149.6
73.6
12.1
40g

With phone installed
150.3
74.4
12.1

As you can see the Sheath isn’t too far in dimensions when phone is installed to the sily. The sheath could be closer in depth if there was no liner. Yes weighs more but that’s a trade off for materials.

If I liked silicone better I would be running the sily. If I liked Aramid better I would be running the Pitaka pro.

Symmetry has the best buttons I have tried so far, stick out half as much as others.
Would never buy a case again without real buttons.

Yeah, sucks for me… lol. Some of the thinner Pitaka models seem to have more surface texture, which would be great. Not sure why they didn’t do that on the Pro, perhaps it reduces the protection level.

I’ve been in the crystal black rebel since Friday. Was gonna rock the green andar but couldn’t find it so I put this on. And honestly I’m loving it :O considering I switch cases 3 times a day this is an interesting development lol

Problem for me the Symmetry is like holding a wet bar of soap.

PR black crysty with ultra orange kit for Sunday

Is the PR crystal the same material as the frosty or different?

Are you ordering one?

The back is smooth changes in the weather though, I prefer a smooth back on cases, has excellent grip on sides where you actually hold it.

Was waiting for it to be available on Amazon but I'm getting sick of waiting.................

What are you waiting for lol

Yeah I checked as well and still not available. I wonder how long it will take to be available on amazon.

 

[gagee]

Different

How do they differ? Is one harder than the other?

 

[gagee]

No issue so far with Amazon returns. Yes, I’m keeping the crystal for sure though I am hoping to hear that at least the aluminum buttons work well with it. Haven’t tried the tape trick with the titanium buttons yet

Hey question what did you put as your reason for returning the frosty?

 

[off2marz]

For the first one I put arrived damaged/defective. For the one they sent as a replacement which I ended up returning, I put No longer needed

Ok thanks i am thinking about returning it on Amazon and waiting for the crystal to come out on amazon. Still deciding if i like it. But dont want to worry about the frost always coming off everything i take out or put on.

Ok, let’s get back to discussions about cases 🤣

Start one up!
