Anyone ordered a case via aliexpress / temu ? I ordered one for £2 which is outstanding silicone quality, and even has magsafe.

Will now return the fine woven one i got, which doesn't feel so comfortable for me, and is quite overpriced to say the least.

I've gone with a blue Finewoven case for times where I don't have the phone caseless (preferred) and an Otterbox Lumen for when I'm running and want protection from drops etc.

Otterbox pictured below as we all know what the Finewoven ones look like!
How’s the fit on your lumen? the sides under the buttons do not sit flush on mine.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a case that doesn't have a bottom lip? I only know of Pitaka MagEz which I might skip out on this year.

The Ringke Onyx has a very minimal front bottom lip. The lips on the sides are pretty much non existent with a screen protector.

These first iPhone 15 Pro Max Caudabe Sheath lots missed the mark this year.

The speaker cutouts are off.

I’ll obviously get the free replacement case with the action button but disappointed with this initial one.

Mous Aramid Fiber in today. Slight banana, not bad at all. I've had way worst banana bends in the past.
Pretty case and at least they fixed the damn cutouts. I have a love/hate relationship with this case. Love the looks but hate the KFC greasy fingerprints on the back. Fresh out of the box pics:

Thanks for sharing which iPhone do you have and if it is natural titanium could you share a picture of the back and front with the phone?

I’m using Mous Cases for years, but this year I don’t like the additional logo on the camera cutout… still I will probably buy one after ordering my phone, because they are the best cases in my opinion.

Unfortunately it's going back. Looks great but the action button is a bit mushy and the cut outs are a bit uncomfortable on the pinky. Shame.
The frame & buttons that look white in that pic are actually silver.

So at the mo I'm using the Benks Armor Pro which is good and the Caudabe Sheath on the way that I'm not sure I'll use until the replacement buttoned one.
I had mine delivered yesterday but I’ve not opened it. That’s a shame as it does look pretty cool. If that’s the case I may well return mine too. I’ve got a couple of ESR clear cases, one with the stand in the camera ring so I may well stick with one of those. I am still tempted to get the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Magfit Zero One case.

Looks beautiful. Would you please show the front of the phone?

Sure, here is a look between the wife’s Spigen Liquid Crystal and the Decoded Leather (Tan).

Spigen looks very flimsy on the sides. I’m now on the look for a more sturdy slim clear case that doesn’t add much bulk and weight :)

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.

Love the look of this. Would order one but for £50 plus postage I’d expect the cut outs to be perfect.

Wow, the Decoded one seems so bulky!!! Bulkier than even RyanLondon. Glad I did not buy it, I think I'll go for Bellroy.

Temporary case but the quality is so good it could be a permanent one. Screen protector is edge to edge and wraps around the curved edges of the screen. Another case arrives today :)

First case on my new phone Otterbox Symmetry in black, one of my favorites.

Waiting on my RealTree version to come in so I can get my traffic cone orange buttons o_O
