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

[cvlr]

Don’t see them in Amazon US store.

Bet you can find them on aliexpress or eBay. Super thin and worth it I think. Dbrand and similar skins are sometimes too thick for a case.

These help with the dust that sometimes make way between the case. Or even with knicks when taking cases on and off

Someone here was asking about the RhinoShield Clear case, and I was having a hard time finding the post, so here it is. Just grabbed it. Changed the clear buttons it comes with for black ones and love it. This case has a nice grippiness on the back because of the material used, and the form factor is excellent in hand. Buttons are prob the best I’ve ever used. Not normally a clear case kind of guy, normally like a black border so when I view the screen I don’t see the clear edge, but I love this case. Can’t speak on scratching because I left the protective film that it ships with on for the first few days of use lol. OCD at its finest… also I prob should have wiped it down before taking pics, but this gives you a real idea of what it looks like under regular usage.

$50 plus shipping is a bit steep for a clear case.

Discount codes my friend, discount codes. Also Apple charges the same price for a bar of soap AKA their clear case. But I see your point. My Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear is only $20, an amazing case, but prone to yellowing.

So yea, you gotta pay to play.

I thought dbrand stopped offering discounts? I can’t see anywhere to enter a code at checkout on their site anyway.

I subscribed to their newsletter and received an email…”This is a bribe” that included a 10% off coupon with a link to click to claim it.

How painful is it to take it off?

That's true
The cases are very different. PR better protection whilst the Sheath is more lightweight.

Sheath lightweight?

Who said the Sheath was lightweight? The Apple silicone weighing in at 28g for the 15pro I consider lightweight for a case. But it is lighter in weight than the Rebel in the Max by 8g.

Come now, the Sheath lost 5g moving from the 14PM to 15PM. Haha

It's been so long that I forgot that I even ordered this thing Bare Armour case in black. This is a fine case with fantastic Metal buttons (with protective backing), tight fit, excellent grip ETC. It has that soft touch finish which I absolutely hate I will report back later on the fingerprint/smudge/grease pit on the back. While this is a fantastic case it's nothing more than an overpriced Torras Magnetic Guardian case. The company BARE has zero customer service and ships this thing on the slowest boat they can find from China. Literally took over 30 days to receive Here are a couple pics just for the hell of it:

Do you mind if I ask which is your current favorite? Still liking that Symmetry?

Lately I've been using the Synthesis and Symmetry the most. Once in a while I'm use the Frosty for a day or two.
Had over 30 cases here and was trying to thin the herd out as much as possible.

How you liking the Synthesis with the new buttons?

I have one of the original ones with the action button and have never had any problems with the buttons at all.

The poster I quoted. Reading comprehension. Try it.

Thanks for the update. I’m surprised the Synthesis V1 buttons weren’t an issue for you.

Oh she tight tight…. But on par with the Sythesis which fit is extra tight but I never had an issue removing it.

I think you need to try it. Poster said Sheath was more lightweight which it is 😃 comparing to the Rebel.

Then you asked “is the Sheath lightweight”.

As the poster correctly posted that the Sheath is more lightweight than the Rebel.

Yes the Sheath is lighter. Lightweight? No.

What do you consider lightweight? Under 40g?

Let’s take the Symmetry for the 15pro. Weights 40g and the Sheath weighs 40g.

Then you might say “you see the symmetry offers more protection and weighs the same”

But a big BUT…. Here are the dimensions of both. As you will see the Symmetry is significantly wider and thicker in depth and longer.

Sheath
L 149.5
W 73.6
D 12.1

Symmetry
L 152.8
W 78.4
D 14.1

Then I’ll say “I’ll take the Sheath all day any day for the better form factor and the significantly smaller dimensions and much better grip”.

I’m now pretty much full time in the aramid PR. Not perfect (what is?) but very close. Easily my favorite at this point.

“Lightweight” and “more protective” don’t go together. I consider something like the silicone or finewoven as lightweight. Mid 30 grams and lower.

I had an iPhone 13 Pro, which wasn’t exactly light, and put a Caudabe Sheath on it. That Sheath was heavy for what it was and made that smaller iPhone pretty darn heavy in your pocket.

finewoven


silicone

Never realised just how light the FineWoven was, shame about its longevity.

Well heck yea it’s going to feel heavy conspired to silicone. But the problem for me it’s silicone and fine woven. If I liked silicone you can bet I’d be running the silicone and call it a day. Not only because of weight but just as important or more important because of dimensions. Doesn’t add much bulk.

So what I did was take the next best up which IMO is the Sheath. The only difference in dimensions is that the Sheath is .9mm thicker than the silicone. The length and width the same.

Ok you said it feels heavy for a small phone. Not really. Yea like I said it’s heavier than the silicone. But the Sheath doesn’t feel heavy like “oh sh*t this case is too darn heavy”. Feels like any another case in weight once I run it. Plus it’s closest case out there that I know of to my benchmark of a case which is the Apple Silicone dimensionally.
