I have the Onyx with Magsafe and the sides are not flimsy on the one I have. Actually it's a really good case. Very slim, strong MagSafe, good buttons, excellent grip, ETC. Also no MagSafe ring/marks after charging. Still on my for for 2 days straight now.
Mine had virtually no resistance when pulling the sides out and even worse where the buttons are. Too easy to let dust & grit in. I don't mind a little give but....

Just got this ESR case from Amazon. Probably the best I’ve had! The blue compliments the titanium blue very well.

Is the Symmetry good?

O2 are selling them here for £17.50!
Yeah if you get a good one, i did, they can be saggy on bottom and sides, not the slimmest but good protection. MagSafe strength is ok not great.
Smooth back some don’t like I do.
Excellent buttons.
I returned every other case I tried and kept it.

I got the Spigen Ultra black frosted over the ESR same, don't like the camera ring or the bumps on the corners of the ESR.
WAs $35 v $18AU though.

prefer my "protective" style cases, been rocking the symmetry for months and finally bit the bullet for the blue nomad "rugged" during their sale this week. Excited for it to come next week. Tried tons of cases on my 15PM and only the symmetry has been the case I liked, I've returned everything I've purchased and I hope the Nomad Rugged is great protective alternative

Same, using the Spigen ultra hybrid now, was looking at the nomad too.

I’ve slacked off on buying cases for the last couple of months. I haven’t found anything that caught my eye, and I regret this blue titanium. This is the first time I’ve regretted the color of my iPhone. It’s sad because I’m not upgrading this year, so I’ll be stuck with this phone until next year.

I'm not upgrading this year either. Wonder how that new button on the 16 will work with cases?

Here's a tip: always choose black when getting a new phone.

I always run with the new color and since blue is my favorite color, I thought I would love it. It’s too dark and boring now. I’ve been using it without a case, so I have a couple little dents. I was looking at skins thinking a new color might do the trick. I wish I would’ve went with the Natural Titanium like I originally wanted.

Love the blue and I always get black.
Looks good in the Spigen Ultra Frosted Black, imo anyway.
I had the NT originally but was too dull/grey for my liking.

All of the cases I have are either blue or clear trimmed in blue, to match the titanium blue. None of them have any color, so they are boring now. I learned my lesson to go with my first instinct now. I’m looking for other cases to compliment the blue that is another color besides blue and clear.

Gone for the Otterbox Defender XT case in clear/black today as it's £21 on Amazon UK!


I did order it this morning but it was full price (£48); had another look and all of a sudden it's on offer for 'Prime Members Only' - cheeky sods... Cancelled that order toot-sweet!

After running the aspen pokadot case I got from hooterville for 3 days, I went ahead and ordered a fine woven case. Missed the thinness. Hopefully that’s it for cases from me until the new phone in 2 months

Think I'll be going for the ESR Frosted case when I get the iPhone 16, they do seem to get good reviews.

This is a hidden gem for only $20 you get tempered glass screen protector, camera lens protector along with the case. The buttons are customizable but ESR doesn't sell a set of differently coloured ones or a whole set like RhinoShield and Flolab do. Except for not being to customize the area around the cameras, it's a cheaper alternative to the Flolab Surtect and RhinoShield somrthing-suit.

I'm contemplating the blue iPhone 16 pro, what is it you don't like about the blue? Have you just gone off the colour?
