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Phone cases make phones feel cheap as well as making it feel outdated.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.
Curious though, why would you choose goatskin in particular?

strange request:

does anyone have a comparison between the Pitaka MagEZ and the Brand Ghost?

It's definitely developed a shine to the back, but I don't see any defined scratch marks. My phone shares my pocket with utility knifes, screw drivers, drywall screws, etc. So far so good.
I’m in the same boat of having screwdrivers, linesman pliers, etc in my pocket so maybe the gray doesn’t show the scratches as bad?? Would you be so kind as to share a pic with your phone in it, cuz I have the black titanium as well and would love to see how the combo looks before I buy.

Torras Crystal case off Amazon for the iPhone 15.
It’s a clear type case but the edges near the screen don’t rise up as far as other clear cases might, and it’s a softer and light case to hold plus you can see the colour of the iPhone through it

Ordered the ***** case from Amazon and I love the change they made this year. Last years black and clear version, the black border was a Smokey clear look. This year it is solid matte black. Looks and feels great, and they made the back matte clear instead. Excellent case for $13 bucks! I ordered both the MagSafe and non MagSafe versions but the MagSafe versions frosted back looked a little more white and harder to see the Apple logo! 😂

Ps. Excuse the dusty screen. Forgot to wipe it down lol

I’m in the same boat of having screwdrivers, linesman pliers, etc in my pocket so maybe the gray doesn’t show the scratches as bad?? Would you be so kind as to share a pic with your phone in it, cuz I have the black titanium as well and would love to see how the combo looks before I buy.

Will do, I'll shoot you one tonight

Does anyone have a bulky protective case that they’re trying to sell? Looking to pick up like an Otterbox or some other rugged case used.

Not the best photo, but should give you an idea. Taken with my old iphone 6.

Been rocking the Synthesis for last few months. Best case of the year easy!

I love it, but I wish it had floating buttons, I get a lot of dust in those slits. The main magnet also keeps falling out, they did warranty it though with no issues. That said, it's the case I'm using right now, I got bored of the Frosty for a moment, and it was looking a bit rough.

What about fingerprints? Massive no for me.
They’re a compromise, for sure. For me, the MagSafe bump, so-so buttons, and mis-aligned cutouts on the Sheath are hard to overlook just for the finish, which admittedly is great. Among the protective aramid cases, the fingerprints on the Gen 5 are the least problematic, followed by the Mous and then the Pitaka Pro and Benks. The Pitaka is a particularly horrible fingerprint magnet, which is a shame because it’s a super case otherwise.
