Right now I have a black Apple Silicone cover for my 15 Pro in Titanium Black.

But I have ordered a Spigen Enzo Aramid, as I can see several people have recommended it. Those of you who have it - I've read it's a fingerprint magnet - do the marks remain permanently, or can it be cleaned with a damp microfiber cloth?

Another thing - the Enzo cover has holes for a strap, which is the only thing that annoys me about that cover. Do you find that dust and dirt get in through those holes?

I like the Enzo a lot. Gets marked easy but easy to clean. I'd prefer the lanyard holes weren't there (who uses them!?) but don't have an issue with dust there as it's sealed around it when phone installed.
The silver camera ring, logo and buttons make it stand out from the crowd, looks great.

That said, the Benks Armor Pro edges it for me with it feeling better in the hand and textured aramid back.


But, at the mo I'm a long term Sheath user. Once I got over the slight MagSafe indent and the button slits. I like not having to clean the case hardly at all whereas it was multiple times a day with the Enzo or Benks. And once they released another red colour way I was even happier with the Sheath.

I will definitely use the Enzo or Benks in more formal settings though as they look classier than the Sheath.


Was looking through my old case photos the other day and was reminded of one of my fave ever cases and would love an up to date version.

How does the case feel in the hand? Is it slippery?
It’s very soft and comfortable. For grip I’d say mid-grade. It’s similar to a silicone or leather case in that it starts out fairly slippery but gets more grippy over time.

Like most aramid cases, the main drawback is the fingerprints. That and some people don’t like the squared off edges, which don’t bother me. For comparison, the Mous is much worse in this regard.

Question for Sheath-Heads?

Does you black Sheath develop the white discoloration/stains along the back edges that are pretty hard if not impossible to clean or remove?

I haven't had a Sheath since the very first batch for the 15PM and was wondering if other black Sheaths had this same problem.

Does anyone just use a brand skin on the 15 pro or pro max ? If so how long have you used it and how well does it hold up ?

I‘ve never experienced what you’re describing. It does take on a bit of what I would characterize as “sheen” or “polish” around the edges as they get worn, but I don’t perceive it as white or discoloration per se. Not sure if that sheen is what you’re referring to?

Considering just protection, not looks, are any cases equal to or superior to the Otterbox Defender? YouTube "reviews" seem to be just advertising, and while the Mous Limitless 5 has some impressive feats done in their ads they are, well ...... ads.

Thanks!
