Pictured is a custom Casetify Impact case (MagSafe compatible) for the new iPhone 15 Pro (titanium blue). As a bonus, there’s a picture of my new lock screen in use too. 
Torras glass screen protector is installed on the 15 Pro (flawless install process!) - also highly recommend the ESR armorite protectors.

Got a Smartish Gripmunk for my natural titanium 15PM while I wait for the Dbrand Ghost and Caudabe Sheath.
So far the Gripmunk is much nicer than I thought it would be, the buttons are quite clicky and the fit is mostly great.
My only issue is that the cutout for the USB-C port is a bit too large and there’s a visible gap between the bottom of the port and the case.

Andar is updating the cases and should be released around October, for everyone who has purchased the original version will get a 20-30% off the updated version.
ME TOO!!!!! Otherwise is excellent - on the sleeker side but more than a thin layer of protection, nicely made, etc - but still looking!
Heads up for those that are interested in or bought the Mujjo Shield Case for the 15 Pro Max (I ordered the Steel Blue from Amazon)
Some bad news, the Magsafe functionality does not work due to a production issue. I got an email from Amazon this evening and was refunded the full amount on my credit card, and all stock has been removed from the Amazon listing.
Quote from email:
Notes: We regret to inform that MagSafe charging on the Shield Case does not work. This is a production fault. We are truly sorry for this Issue. Your order has been refunded. We are working quickly to produce new and improved Shield cases.

This one in teal - I like it, soft lining, really smooth outer but a complete lint magnet and overall not the MOST protective case ever. But for anyone super clean (no pet hair etc) and wants something sleek, this is great.

So are they making more of the red in the revised version for the 15 PM or is what sold it?
Enjoy. The Spigen has plenty of grip for me. I tried liking the Apple Case but just didn't like the feel. Just did the return to Amazon a little while ago. Will drop them off at the UPS Store tomorrow morning
Same here! I have it in hand, Magsafe does not work unfortunately. 15 Pro Max Steel Blue version.
Better off just waiting for that. 20% off is a little stingy imo, when they should have had the button in the first place. Especially with companies like Caudabe offering complimentary button versions.
True but I’m sure it has something to do with materials. Big difference between Andar and leather vs Caudabe.
That’s valid, but the cost of the case is only 15 dollars difference… could be a bigger discrepancy in price for the company to make it. I just thought they could discount it a little more, but I’m def not shooting the messenger, just putting in my 2 cents.
Thanks for the update, Tee. I was really excited for the Aspen and was even wiling to make it work with the cutout, but when I put my phone in the case today, I literally couldn’t press the Action button through the tiny hole. Maybe I have fat thumbs 🤣
I grabbed a backup Caudabe Sheath and because of how they engineered the cutout to be tapered, at least I can easily press the button.
Do you happen to know if Andar will be accepting exchanges for the updated version? I already emailed support earlier today but I’m sure they’re slammed.
Mine was the steel blue also but for the 15 pro. Wonder if it’s for all cases, all colors or just the blues. Also wonder if it’s all of them affected or just enough to warrant a full stop on them.
Native Union synthetic "leather" case
The cutouts are a little wonky - they hug the inside holes of the speaker grilles (sorry, this camera angle makes them looked blocked when they aren't really), but it doesn't seem to impact sound at all.
Buttons are responsive, not too stiff at all. Quick shipping from Hong Kong. I ordered on a Saturday night, paid $12 expedited shipping, it shipped Monday and was in Denver on Wednesday. All in all, I'm pretty impressed. This replaces the FineWoven case that is not going on my phone.

Yes, all buttons on the silicone case are tactile with strong feedback, including the action button.
Hard to believe some of these companies can mess up their cases so bad. Especially the ones that cost $50+.
Ordered a Smartish Gripmunk to hold me over for now.

Pacific Blue FineWoven is actually growing on me now. I feel like in a future release, Apple could still make the back of the case feel even more luxurious, and make the plastic sides feel less nasty (I don’t know how to describe that), but otherwise besides that the case retains everything else we loved about the leather case - the slim and lightweight form factor, as well as the the satisfying aluminised volume buttons.
Good point, it may be just a bad batch or it could be the whole production run. I don't think they are asking for the defective case back despite the refund, so essentially a free (albeit defective) case in any event.
Who knows, you might luck out and get a working case for free 👍
its still a really nice case. when I get my pro tomorrow I guess ill know for sure if its bad. yea they aren't asking for a return so its a free case, albeit MagSafe doesn't work. I'm upset, I liked it more than all the other cases I got and was looking forward to using it. I may email them and ask exactly what's wrong with it to make it not work. I mean the magnet is there and it grabs the puck.
Yep, the magnet is there with mine too, it just doesn't charge when I have the 15PM in it and attached to an Anker cube, or an OEM Apple puck. Definitely defective.
Agree 100%, it's a really nice case. Good thing it has lanyard loops on both sides, I will probably attach a shoulder strap to it and use it for hiking/city trips, so not completely useless as is. When the defect is confirmed fixed I'll probably give it another go.
