After all the hand wringing and returns (I still have over a dozen in the case drawer), this ended up being my #1 case for the year. It’s been on the phone for over a month, which is a record.Case Bored ! Broke out to good ole Synthesis for the weekend.
Camera thingy is like a match made in heaven with this case

How does it compare to the symmetry? not sag mine doesn’t have it lol
I like the Symmetry too. The Synthesis has a tighter fit, is shallower and narrower, and has better side grip. The Symmetry is lighter, has better buttons, and I like the simpler look (not a fan of the weird cutout on the Synthesis). It’s essentially a toss up, but the Synthesis just slightly wins for me due to the better fit and form factor.
The Synthesis is a great case. I agree that the camera cut out isn’t my favorite, but my biggest gripe is that the back gets shiny scratches on it. FAST. I have gotten two replacements and they all get it, and I keep it in my back pocket with nothing else so I’m not sure what’s scratching it so easily?!
In other news: my current rotation has been the all black Defender XT (great case) and the all black Gripmunk… when I need a bit of protection I go with XT, and I like the way it feels in hand. When I need a slimmer feel, the Gripmunk is clutch! Haven’t reached for any other cases in a while now.
Hmm, mine literally has zero scratches on the back. Not sure why the different experiences…
I think i am returning my otterbox cactus case. Sharp-edged buttons, bump over USB port and it still squeaks.
Doesn't the black XT get scratches on the back also?
Does the Magsafe ring leave marks on the black back?
Sold mine off, maybe I should have kept it.
This one isn’t even as bad as the last, but I threw the old ones out. They were all diced up lol

I haven’t had any scratches on mine. I think last year I kind of came to the conclusion that the smaller pro model gets less scratches because it’s a smaller area and the rubber edges kind of keep it lifted off surfaces. I could be way off but that’s the only thing that makes sense. I love this case. I brought it back from the dead (out of the drawer of death lol) and slapped it on my phone a few weeks ago because I was bored with my current rotation and I have been loving it ever since. Sometimes I feel like coming back to a case you might not have liked a few months ago gives you a new perspective on it!
All this Symmetry talk, think I'll dig out my old green HooterBox Symmetry later today 
Still have the black, green and RealTree symmetry cases in the box somewhere
Absolutely one of my favorite cases for the 15PM

I feel the same. I bought the clay silicone on release day and still have it. Throughout the years I always go back to the silicone. Partly because when I’m home I remove it and go caseless. The silicone is so easy to pop it in and out and still retains its shape.
Which case has the tallest protective edges surrounding the screen of iPhone 15 Pro Max? Most cases have protective lid of about 1-1.3mm tall. Is there something special about 1.3mm? I don't find it tall enough to protect the screen when the screen is landed on a rugged surface. I would prefer something like 2mm.
Why big stores no longer sell the Otterbox Defender "Pro"?

yeah was the first case I bought too and only one I have now, I like the grip on the sides.
no better case for buttons.
I’ve yet to see a complaint about the small magnet coming loose on a Symmetry.
