This is for the 14 series... Im sure a lot of you already know this but I bought a "knock off" apple silicone case from Ali Express. Comparing it to an official case you cannot tell the difference and it even does the MagSafe animation. The box, everything is identical and I paid $8 for it vs. apple's insane $50.

I wonder if that will be just with the initial release. It looks intriguing enough, I like my synthesis but really miss the floating buttons whenever I use it.
These appear to be slit buttons.

Has anyone tried the Spigen Core Armor (MagFit) for their iPhone 15 series? I'm keeping an eye out ahead of the iPhone 16 release.

Looking for reco’s. Son works in a dirty dusty environment and looking for a case for his 15. Always issue with speaker and port getting dusty. Any suggestions?

Yes I had it and returned it. Found it to have a SUPER sharp pinky area. And generally lame in real life compared to what you see in pics. IMO at least.

butt plug and speaker cover stickers

This is what I do, I always charge via MagSafe so the plug isn’t a big deal, but if he charges with a cable they are easy to lose. Luckily the 200 pack is less than $10. I mostly lose mine when I switch cases and forget it’s in there.

That's really helpful. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Core Armor. I will lean in the direction of another Spigen/Caseology offering going forward.

None. Ever.

I prefer the phone to feel good in my hands. The phone designers do a lot of work to make it feel good and easy to grip. I couldn’t imagine dropping my phone. I’m an adult though and I’ve taken a lot of time to really hold my phone properly (learn how to grip it). I can definitely understand if it’s a phone for the kiddos or something, then definitely understand. I have definitely dropped a lot of phones in the past though whether they were on my legs and I get up quickly or just dropping it in a silly way. I have not dropped my current phone and haven’t dropped one in years.

Phone cases make phones feel cheap as well as making it feel outdated. Like adds a bunch of thickness to it so that makes it feel old. Also makes the phone look much worse. My phone looks so much nicer than all the other phones people have around me even though they have the newer models.

If I was going to get one though it would most certainly be something made from goatskin leather.
This post is extremely condescending. Accidents can and do happen and many people who are also adults can have issues with grip which has nothing to do with immaturity.

Well put.

I tried going naked the other day and noticed my hands seem to sweat a lot when using the bare phone, which makes swiping difficult. Leather seems to negate this for whatever reason.

Anyone know if the Gray Synthesis shows shiny scratches on the back like the black does? My black ones have gotten scratched and ugly looking after moderate usage.
