1. My Apple Silicon is great.. same thing.. I have a yellow case. Just sick and tired of the same old thing. I only get the Apple cases after they go on sale.
2. No catch the pocket.
3. Fine. It’s important to me because I have screen protectors on my lenses. For my wife’s third party case (I think casemate) had to go in there with a razor and trim the edges to allow the screen protectors to fit. Just looks ugly but it works.
Where does Bandwerk ship from?
This new orange case is on my radar

Germany I think... although they likely have supplies in different locations.
However if you are in the UK they do not currently offer shipping, but you can get around it by ordering via Instagram or via the Shop app. The Bandwerk stuff is nice, but so expensive with the shipping costs on top. I was looking at their newly released titanium classic case in off white - it worked out basically £200+ in the end.
Is that leather? I can’t find it on their website, could you link it?
Can you link to them on Amazon UK with action button cover? I can’t find it, all I see is pictures with cutouts.
$255 for a case? Nah. I hate spending more than $30 for a case. For $255 it’d better perform an immoral act on me 😂😂
Yep, "Shocking Orange" leather:

Bandwerk leather is pretty unique, in that it is water resistant and scratch resistant from the German Heinen tannery. It is genuine leather but is treated.Thanks, was hoping it wasn’t leather
I've been meaning to post about the updated Bandwerk cases. It's pretty much the last case I've been waiting for. Trying to decide between the Chocolate or Cookie color. Leaning towards the Chocolate though as I much prefer darker warmer brown leather to light tan leather.
I probably wont buy it for a couple of weeks but I'll try to remember to post pictures when I do.

Thank you all for your inputs. I am really digging the new colours so may try one or two out
damn that looks FIRE!
Here in the US it still shows pics with cutouts but the title has “updated version “ in it.
Spigen Enzo Aramid, and back to a Apple Silicone Cover
I have now been using the Spigen Enzo Aramid for a few weeks on my iPhone 15 Pro. Must say - it's a really nice cover. The quality is really good and you get a premium feeling. Cover fits very close to the phone.
I have read several people say that the back is a fingerprint magnet, but I do not experience that. I have also read someone describe the cover as slippy, I do not experience this either. I thought the cover felt good in my hand, and have not yet had the feeling that I was about to drop it. The metal buttons are nice and give a good click. If you shake the phone, the buttons rattle a bit, but it's not bad.
For all these weeks I have only used MagSafe. Both my MagSafe nightstand and MagSafe Batterypack. The back cover shows no signs of imprints from the MagSafe ring, so that is also positive. The magnet is crazy strong, much stronger than in the original Apple covers, so it also nice. But you almost have to be a little careful when the MagSafe is clicked on, otherwise I think over time it will cause scratches, because the magnet closes REALLY tightly. SNAP!
BUT - even though the cover is really nice, I have still chosen to switch back to my black Apple Silicone cover. Why?
Although Spigen Enzo Aramid has many pluses, it unfortunately also has a few minuses:
The weight/size. Compared to my original Apple Silicone cover, the Spigen cover weighs approx. 20 grams more, which makes an already quite heavy phone somewhat heavier. I think the metal frame around the camera, as well as the buttons on the Spigen cover add a little extra weight. In addition, the cover is bulkier, and you can feel it.
Another thing that I don't like are the cutouts for the speakers and the USB-C port. Don't get me wrong - the holes are accurate. But I'm a bigger fan of Apple's Silicone cutouts, where the speaker and microphone are completely closed. It provides better protection and a cleaner look.
By the way, cleaner look. Enzo Aramid is a stylish cover, no doubt. But I'm not as big a fan of the silver-colored metal buttons and camera frame as I thought I would be when I ordered it. At first you think wow, but after a while (short time for me) - then it becomes too... I don't know. Kind of LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME. I've found that I'm more into the muted, matte black that Apple's silicone cover provides. I can't explain it better. If the buttons and camera frame had been in black metal, it would probably have appealed more to my taste.
One last thing. On Apple's Silicone cover, the entire inside of the cover is lined with microfiber, which provides the most optimal protection against the dust that gets into the cover under any circumstances. The Spigen only has padding on the back, the titanium frame has direct contact with the bare silicone, which causes scratches over time. I'm also not a fan of the cutout for the strap in the side.

Been using the Frosty since Dec 12th. The sides so far are perfect, and structurally the case is still great. Even saved my phone from a decent drop. It's covered in small scratches though, the frosty is rubbed off in a few spots, and the camera ring is so chipped up there's not much color left. Honestly I'm very hard on cases, and although it's probably time for a new one and I'll probably venture to something else for a bit, I do like the Frosty.
Thanks both. It appears the ones on Amazon UK listed as Updated Ver are 15 Pro Max only, I've got a regular 15 Pro. Thanks though
I hope on the next version of the Apple silicone they do something to mitigate the lint issue in some way.
Impulse bought the Otterbox Figura in pink from the Apple Store. Magnets feel much stronger than the launch day Apple silicone case I had. I was very happy with the silicone but the bezel had started to peel in a couple places, plus it was a little gnarly from taking a fall—but it did its job and protected my phone from the fall. Decided against another silicone due to the peeling.
So far I love the otterbox. The semi transparent pink looks nice on my titanium 15PM. Feels great although it’s slippery, I can live with that though.
