Love the look of this. But postage to the UK is the same price as the case so it’s a no from me.

Trying out some non leather options and came across this Torras Ostand R case. One thing that immediately surprised me is that it doesn't show fingerprints as much as other clear cases. The 360 flip out ring is nice to have depending on your usage. The case is 12.3mm thick which is about the same as the bullstrap leather case i measured but the clear version of this case is very grippy.

If you're looking for a case with a built in stand, I do recommend trying this one out. Works with all of the magsafe accessories I have except for the pop socket.

I’m using the 3D edge to edge screen protector from Torras with the case with no issues either.

Anyone else hunting for inexpensive cases for their 15 Pro that has swappable buttons? My favourite Caudabe Sheath is too rich for my blood this year at $70 CAd shipped unfortunately.

In researching, and because I am poor this year on disability compared to before when I bought one of every colour case, I started with the obvious RhinoShield. They're about $50 CAD then found that Flolab made one at $30 CAD.

Further searching led me to find an ESR bundle which also include their tempered glass protector (not Armorite though) for phone and lenses for $20 CAD. Does anybody know people at ESR? Alas they don't sell the buttons separately like everyone does. What's the point of touting "swappable buttons" as a selling point then? (Sigh)

After getting and generally being happy with my (frosted gray with neon green buttons) ESR case I also see that Rebel and Magbak also sell swappable button cases.

Anyone else?

(Looks like from a few posts up, Torras has changeable buttons too)

What is the best case for the 15 Pro Max that is not slippery at the back and does not hurt your pinky finger?
I have tried a few cases like the Mous Limitless, Phone Rebel Gen 5 and found them too slippery and not comfortable at all. The 15 Pro Max is a big phone so comfort is important. I also didn't like the rough feel of the Caudabe Sheath and ended up selling it...
Any other options please?

maybe consider the phone rebel air 2 or cadaube synthesis, not sure how you found the gen 5 slippery at all as due to the grips on the side. majority of cases will have a smooth back except the sheath and tbh the gen 5 was probably the one case thats easier on the pinky imo. it is kind of sounding like the 15 pro max might be too big of a phone for you.

This case is very much like the Apple Silicone without the dust collection. I have it on my 13PM and use it more than my Apple Silicone case. Caseology is owned by Spigen.

Does this case offer good protection and is it a tight fit?

How about the fingerprints?

I would say on par with the Apple Silicone case or any other smooth feeling case. I usually wipe it with rubbing alcohol every few weeks and it looks and feels new again. Hopefully these images help. I just wiped it on my shirt before taking them. Hopefully the iPad photos are good enough quality.

I've settled with the Satchel & Page so I'm looking to sell all my other cases as a bundle (9 in total). That includes Nomad Horween, Andar Aspen, Finewoven, Sheath, Moft, Spigen MagFit, Otterbox Symmetry, Smartish Gripmunk, Rebel Frosted.

Willing to sell for a fraction of the original price, just PM me.
