Yeah, the Apple silicone is a great case, I just can't stand the lint/dust it collects. I know you don't have this particular problem, but it drives my OCD through the wall.
Got a tip for us?

If I wore jeans mostly I would probably have that problem. But I hear as it starts to wear the lint isn’t as bad.
While we’re at it, I’d like to propose “rocking” in place of “using”, “Schpeegen”, “OCD” instead of “picky” and “slippery like a bar of soap” as well.
My #1 and only case: Bullstrap. I’ve had it for 16 days and it’s starting to develop that grip that comes with broken in leather. Looks great and is still oh-so-sniffable.
I started a thread on this a while back and the person that got a black one said it’s a lint magnet. I’m waiting on the suede one that’s supposed to launch in a few monthsInteresting idea from a design point of view.
A $45 silicone non-case "Designed for those who prefer to use their iPhone the way Apple intended, without a case." It offers an "Unobtrusive shield for the vulnerable backside" and helps you to "Curate your style."
It is made from "Premium liquid silicone" though, so maybe it won't gather as much lint while removing it from your pocket like those pesky non-premium Apple silicone cases do?!?
Anyone tried the suti phoneback yet?
Just saw an add for this on FB and can’t find any reviews or anything. Has anybody tried one of these? Wondering how well the MagSafe holds it https://suti.co/collections/all

Nah it goes right up against the lower end of the sloped glass. I don’t think it looks any bigger than generations past but everybody differs in their tolerances.
I'd imagine a mag-safe wallet would offer as much or more protection for that "vulnerable backside" and actually be of some use. It would not, however, help you "Curate your style."
If this product is anywhere near as bad as its marketing can you imagine what a POS it will be?
Oh yeah, please may I pay $50 for a non-case made of a slab of silicone with an ugly camera bump?
🤮
While we’re talking about that suti “case” let’s also talk about that Arc pulse being $65. You couldn’t pay me to put that atrocity on my phone 🤣
I just had a look and I think these look fantastic. It’s unfortunate they only do silicone. I’d snatch up a leather one in a heartbeat.
It would also look a lot better if the camera area wasn’t covered.
I’m continually intrigued by it to be honest. According to long term users it does offer solid corner protection, which are the weakest parts of the phone, and lets you experience the phone nearly without a case. It does seem too expensive but it’s a solid idea at least. And frankly it doesn’t look any worse than 99% of cases on the market.
Personally, I think it’s ugly as sin, but if people like it, then by all means rock it on your phone, but I’d never.
Sure AppleCare is much more expensive than that thing, but like I said, I personally think it’s ugly, so I’d rather pay for AppleCare and go completely caseless than put that thing on my phone.
It’s a solid halfway point between full case and caseless, and I do think 99% of cases are ugly as sin anyway. At least this lets me see and handle most of the phone as designed.
I would be more likely to use it if the screen protectors for this year didn’t all have some issue. Running the Pulse without a screen protector does not seem like a good idea.
I feel like getting a white case but I'm having a hard time finding anything other than the Nomad Sport, Aulumu A15, and Moft Movas. There are a ton of cases from word salad named fly by night companies on Amazon all selling very similar cases, but pretty much nothing from names I recognize. I do not want a silicone case unless it's not super pocket grippy like the Apple one is. I also don't want another clear or frosted back case. I have at least 5 of those which is too many already.
I'll be getting my third Coastal Rock sport case Wednesday or Thursday in hopes I finally get one that isn't defective in some way, so I'm a bit hesitant to buy another case from Nomad (as nice as they are). I recall reading about the Moft in this thread and that it's bottom cutouts are awful. If that just means they're ugly, that's ok, so long as they're precise. The Aulumu is too overdesigned for me, so it's an instant no from me.

Looks like the phone rebel crystal gen 5 case is now available on amazon for the 15 pro max. I was able to order it on the Canada Amazon site.
Apple didn’t allow me to warranty my case when it dented on the bottom either from taking it out or pressing down during a swipe - they said they don’t warranty physical damage. I’ll never buy an Apple case again
I quite like the idea of this.
Colour options are awful though. A ‘case’ if you can call it that is designed to be ‘minimal’. They should offer colour options to make it as discreet to the eye as possible
I'd definitely be more inclined to buy one if they made it in a color that matched the natural Ti color of my phone bettter. If not matched then at least complemented it.

Kind of the the point - it's a completely different colour and look of material so stands out.
Which from their POV, is probable what they want
Are you going to decide which one to keep or you going to run both the frosty and crysty?
Are you trolling?
15PM Silicone Case - Apple refuses to honor warranty
Apple refused to honor the warranty on my 15PM silicone case after it dented on the bottom (shows a significantly reduced lip) from either taking it off the phone or swiping up from the bottom with the case on. Additionally it took almost a week of back and forth with Apple Support to get a...

How is that going to cause physical damage? 🤔 Let’s see some pics.
