To be fair that's kind of the point of a case thread. Only showing the front would defeat most of the purpose of the thread.
I'm not bothered much by logos on the back. It's not what I'm looking at when I'm holding/using the phone.
Logos around the camera ring, like Casetify, I do find tacky as hell. Decoded is at least fairly subtle with theirs but I'm still not a fan.
We're all quite OCD and hype specific about things here. Enthusiasts possibly. It both makes things fun to discuss but also very frustrating from time to time.
Showing the front is incredibly helpful as well, as it shows lip and how much the bumper protrudes the screen. It’s the part you look at most of the time after all.To be fair that's kind of the point of a case thread. Only showing the front would defeat most of the purpose of the thread.

We're both half joking or at least I am. Of course the front is important, it's half (or quarter the more I think about it) of the case.
After seeing your post here I decided to order this case. It's nice, but a good bit heavier than I was expecting, and the edges are a bit harsh compared to the memumi case I've been using since launch, which has edges rounded to perfectly match the rounded edges of the iPhone 15 pro. I honestly hate the camera ring and miss the days that they made the rings removable (they honestly serve no purpose unless you're laying your phone down on a bed of diamond-coated nails). Based on reviews I've seen on YouTube, the Armor Air is a good bit heavier than the Pitaka MagEz Case 5.Benks Montage ArmorAir is one helluva thin case. Goodbye Pitaka MagEZ 5.
I'm curious, if both of these cases were the same price, which would you prefer and why? I've been holding out for the MagEz Case 5 to be available on amazon prime for easy returns, but might just pull the trigger based on your resoponse.
I ordered one this morning. I've been going back and forth with going caseless, but keep putting it back on to protect the back/lenses when sliding it on the table. Not thrilled that it's $40, but it looks like the perfect solution for my wavering back and forth.Magnetic Leather Back - iPhone 15 Pro Max - Rustic Brown | Horween® | MagSafe | NOMAD®
Sleek and sophisticated, Magnetic Leather Back preserves your iPhone's look. Horween leather develops a rugged patina. Features MagSafe, microsuction at...nomadgoods.com
Nomad magnetic leather backs are now available.
I like the idea, but it uses "reusable" sticky pads at 3 corners as well as MagSafe to hold it on the phone. Not sure how I feel about that.
Here's a review:
Will be really interested to hear what you think and see some pics. It’s tempting me!
I’m still debating, but I do like the execution.
And apparently the review I posted got the “sticky pads” wrong (or at least misunderstood). Nomad calls them “microsuction patches”. So the back can be removed and reinstalled.
And of course, now that I check, the brown ones are sold out. I swear, Nomad makes like 10 of everything on their first run.
For my Natural Titatium, I got a Ringke Fusion Clear that I use when wanna see my phone without having that ugly white magsafe outline on the case (and it provides a decent grip) and also an  Silicone case in Clay.
I honestly don't regret it...especially since it was purchased with Apple Cash lol
I'm curious to see how well they'll age versus their leather cases!
I haven’t had the Enzo, but I have seen quite a bit about it. I own the Pitaka Pro and I’d have to stay I agree. Pitaka is way more clean looking.
I had the Enzo briefly. It’s a nice case, but the Pitaka is clearly more premium and more precisely manufactured. Of course, this is reflected in the higher price.
Both are different cases
I really liked the Enzo while I had it, but the case felt oddly heavy on the phone. I used it along side the PR aramid on vacation. The Enzo seemed like it wasn’t completely made of aramid fiber, more like a rubberized coating. It felt really good in hand tho. It bothered me that the buttons weren’t finished very well, they looked rough around the edges and the grooves in the middle of the buttons.
The Pitaka Pro is completely made of aramid and you can tell, it’s very light. The buttons have a better fit and finish and don’t wiggle around as much (if at all, I’m not using the case at the moment), and the case finish is impeccable. The one thing I don’t love about it is the square edges. The iPhone 15 is such a good feeling phone without a case and other cases follow the design. With the Pro, I feel like I have a iPhone 5 with an otterbox defender. I’m exaggerating of course, but you do trade off some slimness for more protection.
You can’t go wrong with either one IMO, just depends on what you prefer. Let me know if you have any additional questions about them that I can answer.
Again, different cases
Pitaka is super thin that offers minimal drop protection, but provides texture for grip and scratch protection.
Nomad offers more protection all around, but at the cost of a thicker case.
That said, I feel like this year’s Nomad Is probably in my top 3 cases for the iPhone 15PM.
What are your thoughts after a few days?I honestly don't regret it...especially since it was purchased with Apple Cash lol
Square boxy / sharp edges is a deal breaker for me. I often hold my phone on the edges / side and chamfered edges are night and day vs square boxy edges. Even through the Pitaka is and excellent made case for me the sharp / boxy edges are a no go.
The Pitaka could be rounded off a bit more for sure, but the Mous is the worst I’ve experienced in this regard.
Ugh good to know. I was able to procure it elsewhere online, cost a little more but if it comes, it's worth it!
