It’s been awhile since I last bought a case, the urge just isn’t there anymore. Not for right now anyways.
Same. All I have is my 2 Sheath’s and a Ryan London leather and have urge for another case. Once I find a case I’m set. Just wanted a leather case to add.

I feel the same way, there isn’t anything new ans exciting to try anyways. I’ll go days without coming here to read this lately. Before I would be on here multiple times a day. Mostly all the same cases on here talked about ad nauseam.
Last year’s thread only made it to a measly 223 pages, compared to 561 so far for this thread. I’d say it’s about time for it to run out of steam.

That's me too. I used to come to this thread religiously like it was some cult, and now I'll just come in every once in awhile to see if there's anything new or worth while, which there usually isn't.
What have you been primarily using or switching between if multiple? I am with you on losing the urge to keep on buying.
My phone has been living in my case of the year, the Sheath. Perfect for my needs. Occasionally I'll switch into the Apple Silicone for a thinner feeling case, but that doesn't happen very often, honestly. I used to basically obsess over this thread and wanting to buy the next latest and greatest case, but not anymore, and most cases are the same old thing.

Torras were brilliant for super thin cases that cover the buttons, haven’t tried this year’s though.

I’m the same in that I haven’t been spending as much time in here. I now just scroll through for pictures and avoid most of the conversation. I’ve been using and have been happy in a Bullstrap for over a month now.

Then something happened. The wife insisted on buying me a birthday gift and was insistent that I get something phone related since that’s usually my hobby and she normally gives me **** about it. I decided to try the Ghost since it’s a 2 for 1 deal and I’m always envious when I see nice clear cases.

Is anybody still using a Ghost? If so, how has it been long term?

What you’re specifically looking for is not easy to find. Perhaps the Apple FineWoven?
I have tried the fine woven and I was hoping to find thinner.

Torras were brilliant for super thin cases that cover the buttons, haven’t tried this year’s though.

Thanks! Will check that out.

Gotta say, the open bottom is growing on me for when I'm not at work. I got so used to the zero lip on the Frosty I'm not sure I could do a lip anymore.

Now Ryan London or Bullstrap is the question.
I like my bs more than my closed rl. The rl squeaks a little in the corners and I think the bs feels better.

How are we liking the red Caudabe Sheath? I’ve had a Synthesis because I prefer top tier protection but I really like that red. How’s the protection of the Sheath? I like more Casely cases but their magnets are weak, my experience with Caudabe is that their magnets are extra strong. I wouldn’t hate the purple Synthesis either.

I’ve been happy with my apple silicone case but it’s damaged from a drop (it did its job—phone is unscathed). Just looking to change things up and invest in a quality case.

IMO the Sheath offers the same protection as the Apple Silicone, the difference being the Apple Silicone will get damaged in a drop where the Sheath would be more durable in a drop.

I don't think so. The people complaining about it were the ones that it mattered to. It's similar to how you didn't like the light being seen on the bottom lip by the charging port of the Ryan London, most people probably wouldn't even notice. If nothing else, this is a very picky group lol.
Yeah, I agree. We each get to pick our own nitpicks, it’s not for others to say whose grievance is more legit.

Just a little FYI. I have been a big fan of the Andar Apsen since my 13PM. This year I ordered the camel tan and it was PERFECT, fit, leather quality, workmanship, all that. So I decided to order the jet black version and it’s been a massive headache and disappointment since. I received my 3rd version of it today and I give up. The first one was a very loose fit, creaked if I touched it, but the leather looked good. 2nd one they sent me the leather was a totally different color than the 1st, and almost looked dark navy. So then todays 3rd version the leather looked like it was a used leather case repurposed into a new one, and the mess of glue around the camera ring looks sloppy. Major disappointment from a company I have always raved about. The pictures don’t do it justice, IRL you can see the glue all around the camera ring and the leather looks very wrinkly compared to #2.
Same case with me tho. The fit is the worst ever leather case i had. Even alto case have perfect fit. Got replacement for my black Andar and the didn't solve my problem. Horrible experience with Andar for this year for my iPhone 15 pro.

the price is over exaggerated, $69AUD for a piece of rubber with a bulge.
The Sheath seems very popular, at least here on MacRumors. I like it, but I have to wonder if anyone—myself included—would give it a second glance if it was a $10 case on AliExpress. Their social media marketing and product placement efforts seem exceptionally effective.

They would be making a killing, probs getting made for $5 in china lol, guess that's why they are so easy with their replacements, or giving another one free when they didn't have the action button ready.

For your viewing :)
