Could you take photos of the front as well? How does the silicone feel compared to the Apple one?
Got a tip for us?

Front, camera and buttons. I don't have a apple one, but this one feel good, non slippery.

It appears with the new formula they traded lint for increased fingerprints and smudges.
Glad I'm inspiring people. I can tell you, it did the trick perfectly fine. Still going strong without lifting my screen protector.
No they didn’t replace mine - trying a gripmunk tomorrow instead
UAG XTE Plasma in the house
Bad A@@ looking case but the back is glossy which I don't like
I thought it was frosted

Just tried it and it's not the strongest but holds onto my vertical Magsafe charger just fine.
Glossy back sucks, the slits around the buttons are huge, sides are smooth, I'm not that crazy about it.
Works just fine but the slits on the sides of the buttons are pretty big
Nice dust and lint catchers. 😁😉UAG XTE Plasma button slits
What you think about these?
Even though the Sheath is still in my rotation—it’s my last case with slit buttons—I have a general aversion to molded slit buttons. Those on the UAG are particularly egregious and look like a pain to keep clean. Kind of a bummer. Not sure why a relatively large company like UAG with their resources and design staff can’t manage some decent floating buttons.
I wonder why they opted to keep the sides smooth as opposed to adding the usual pattern for grip? Two steps forward, one step back…
Even with smooth sides the grip on this case is pretty good, not slippery at all. That glossy back collects fingerprints pretty good and those button slits provide plenty of ventilation
Was tempted to order a gripmunk given feedback on here.
Not blown away by their colour options.
Don’t fancy black and the others are too bright
Just got this in. Photos coming soon
Fit is very good, buttons responsive, kickstand is strong. Will be checking magnets shortly

I always get black - that said I don’t think the gripmunk case looks as good as many of the others discussed here - just hoping for a good magnet/feel in hand. Maybe I’m distorting my opinion of the Apple silicon case (due to Apple not honoring their warranty) but over time I have found it less and less comfortable to use (especially the pinky rest) and have been using the phone without a case when I am home. I also find the Apple case makes the bezels on the 15PM look huge - doubt the gripmunk will be better in this regard though.
I recently got a few cases to try out for my natty 15pm
Spigen aramid Enzo
This case feels great in the hand while being slim, MagSafe is good, fit and buttons are good but it’s slippery
Pitaka pro
This case feels super premium but I don’t like the squared edges. Wish it followed more of the phone contour. But MagSafe and buttons are great. It’s a mixed bag for me
Spigen tough armor
I’m usually a sucker for this case and while it fits good and the buttons are pretty good it just makes the phone feel so much wider and the cutout on the bottom for the charge port is angled so it hurts the pinky.
Spigen clear ultra hybrid
This is the case I have been using the most since I got the phone. MagSafe is amazing and it’s slim and fits great. So far it’s not yellowing either. It’s comfortable in the hand and to me is grippy (surprisingly)
Nomad modern leather
I liked the leather, the rubber indents on the sides and the buttons but the bottom cutouts were huge and uncomfortable and the case made the phone feel really wide
Otterbox symmetry
Buttons were great but case overall just felt blah
Speck grip case
I liked this case a lot but the mushy buttons ruined it for me
I have a nomad sport case on order and I’m thinking of getting a sheath again but we’ll see. I also usually run a leather case but still undecided between Bullstrap and Andar so haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I really like to only have a few cases. I just feel like I have been disappointed in cases this year so far.
